Jerry Prager, the owner of Waukesha, Wisc.-based MasterFoam Insulation company, was contracted by Oscar J. Boldt Construction to install spray polyurethane foam (SPF) to precise concrete wall panels in two new five-floor hospital towers. The job the lay before him was not going to be easy. Prager and his five-man crew would need to install a huge area-50,000 square feet (4,645.2m2)of SPF while working around other trades and staying prepared for some nasty weather conditions. Plus, the job needed to meet Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA) standards.
