FEATURED PROJECTS

Javits Center Gets a Facelift - Manhattan, NY

As part of a huge renovation project in mid-town Manhattan, the Jacob K. Javits Center is undergoing roof and façade replacement, along with new paint for the roof frame and structural components. The Javits Center was completed in 1986, and had not undergone any renovation or expansion in 25 years. Working as a subcontractor to construction manager, Tishman Construction, CPI developed and oversaw a pilot project for the full-scale recoating program for the facility — a three-year, phased effort designed to keep the Center in continuous operation during the renovation. CPI also provided coating system selection for the roof frame and structural members, and is currently performing coating inspection and quality control services on the project.
