An Article written in the Glass Magazine, 2008, notes the following: "Joseph Solinski, president of Stone & Glazing Consulting, Lewisville, Texas, spoke about Structural Glazing Survey and Repair. He discussed Fountain Place in Dallas that has 500,000 square feet of curtain wall. It was completed in 1986, and his company was called in 1993 after 160 leaks during rain, structural sealant concerns and a history of loose glass under high wind. Inspection, testing and repairs took five years to complete. A suction-cup pull test, administered six times on 26,000 windows, removed 16 windows. Solinski’s pointers for success include applications that suit conditions, proper design, peer review, installer education, quality control both internal and external, industry and trade organizations, and ASTM articles and papers."
