Special Notes:
Water dripping on your cocktail party is certainly no fun, especially at the Purple Martini, a trendy cocktail bar on the 16th Street Mall. After many unsuccessful attempts by other contractors to fix the problem, Frank Whitney, chief engineer at the Tabor Center, called on Turner Morris. We knew the only way to fix the problem was to go all the way down to the steel gutter and start over, including removing a portion of the highly visible standing seam panels. The challenge included standing in a two foot wide gutter, 50 feet in the air at the bottom of a steep metal roof, suspended over Lawrence Street and the 16th Street Mall. Traffic control, pedestrian safety, worker safety, and considerable roofing skill were all needed to make this a successful project. A “dry” Purple Martini can once again be enjoyed!
