Turtle Ward Walls
This week the crew from Target Construction has been busy erecting walls around NMLC’s new sea turtle ward. The walls are made of a moisture and mold resistant drywall affixed to metal studs. A layer of “FRP” (fiberglass reinforced panels) is then glued to the drywall in order to provide a durable, washable surface. Washable is very important! Soon, we’ll be ready for sea turtles!
Durable metal studs provide framework for the walls.
Richard and Martin next fasten drywall to the metal studs.
Drywall seams are taped, then FRP panels are glued over the drywall.
A finished wall!
