THE PROCESS
The wall was installed in a single installation, with the irrigation system having been incorporated into the building by the plumber prior. The installation took 8 days in total, giving time inbetween mounting the frames for another trade to mount core 10 steel pieces throughout the wall and then proceeding with the irrigation drip line and panel installation.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance was performed for several months by GSky at the beginning of the contract. After the initial 6 months, GSky had not been paid for services rendered, and unfortunately had to notify the hotel that we would be terminating service until payment had been made. Payment has never been made.
