NOVA’s Building Envelope team is celebrated in the news again! See glimpses of the team in this WNBB clip as they utilize “The Wolf” – a Dynamic Wind Generator – to simulate heavy rain and gusts of wind to study the integrity of the Marina Civic Center. You’ll see Jim Keeney, Dany Romero, Guillermo Silva, Ted Bellanger and Stacy Smith all inspecting all zones of the Center. The Wolf is a 450 HP engine with an 8 foot propeller that can create the same conditions that Hurricane Michael threw Panama City’s way 3 years ago. Special thanks to Desire and Brandon Mahanna for their work behind the scenes!
