Working closely with our esteemed partners at Tri-State Folding Partitions, we were happy to be brought in to collaborate on another project in beautiful Newark, New Jersey. As a budding extension of the greater New York metropolitan area, Newark offers plenty of opportunities and our partners at Tri-State are always leading the charge.
On this project, we were brought in to aid with a request from an elementary school located in the North Ward of Newark. With key stakeholders from Franklin Elementary working directly with Tri-State on some upcoming renovations to their gymnasium, the discussion around wall padding was thrust to the forefront. Looking to provide students and athletes with an all-encompassing padding solution to the gymnasium, they were in search of some highly customized padding designs.
Working closely with the Tri-State team, we were able to get detailed measurements of the space and aid in designing the right padding to later be installed. As with any custom job, there were most certainly some challenges, which were met with vigor by the guys and girls at Tri-State. Having conquered issues like this many times in the past, we were confident that they’d be able to customize and install any level of padding project that came their way.
And this was one of them.
In total, the padding installation would require 42 custom cut-outs to be performed on-site. In addition to that, the padding needed to be loaded up to the second floor gymnasium and required some of the walls to be furred out to help accommodate existing utilities and ensure a flush and uniformed look after installation.
While it did take some customization by the Tri-State team, the installation was completed on-time to the approval of key stakeholders at Franklin Elementary. The gymnasium is now set up with a beautiful new 360 degree padding solution to help keep student athletes safe on the courts.
Kudos again to everyone at Tri-State for a job well done. This serves as yet another testament to the quality workmanship and dedication of each and every member of our dealer network across North America.
