CASE STUDY

Centene University & Daycare

The Need

This project involved installing insulation in an existing historical building and addition for a large educational center in downtown Clayton. Sound attenuation was a key client need, since the university wanted to ensure privacy and security from room to room.

The Goley Solution

This project required a mobile and agile crew that could adapt to timeline shifts and work in a fast-paced setting.

Goley’s comprehensive solution included:

• Stocking material multiple stories in the air and pinning material to substrates rather than placing between framing members
• Applying insulation behind crisscrossed framing
• Applying R30 roll batt insulation on a concrete floor rather than blowing
• Pinning R30 batts to the attic side of mechanical mezzanine walls
• Installing R19 insulation in walls, as well as a large amount of head of wall sealing, edge of slab firestopping, and mineral wool

Goley went above and beyond to provide:

• Necessary manpower: To accommodate the fast pace of the job, Goley supplied additional manpower and hours to ensure the high-performing products were applied on time and within budget. Additionally, because this was a historical building, additional building codes were involved. These regulations often caused overall project delays. However, Goley had the proper manpower coverage to offset any timing setbacks.
• Expertise: Due to design nuances and specifications, the work necessitated applying out-of-ordinary materials in unique applications.
• Mobility: The downtown location, which was in a neighborhood, necessitated that a contractor could work through logistical challenges, such as scheduling and delivering materials to the jobsite. Goley worked within limited time constraints to make the work happen.
• Focus and collaboration: To meet timeline shifts, there were many trades on the job at once—so it was critical that the insulation subcontractor could effectively work alongside others. Our crewmembers are well-versed in maintaining focus in fast-paced, demanding settings.

“When we use Goley, we have dependability. They don’t leave anything out when they complete a bid, and they are easy to communicate with. They make sure the men are there when we need them there on the job.”

The Result

To ensure success on this project, our team:

• Accommodated timeline shifts by placing more installers on the jobsite and working overtime
• Worked alongside many other trades on the job
• Effectively applied a range of special order materials

This work was completed for a large interior contractor that we’ve been partnering with for decades. They reported complete satisfaction with the job, and there were no callbacks.
