Poor thing, still upset they blew the siding settlement money on popcorn poppers.
I guess, I am not an expert on these kind of things, like sledge joints, or is it swedge joints, I forget;
A key architectural element of the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center is precast, colored concrete. The white residue on the colored concrete is a common condition called efflorescence. Efflorescence occurs when salt migrates from within the concrete to the surface and forms a coating.
“The City is fully aware of the white residue on the building. It’s not uncommon to see this issue in the early years of recently constructed buildings. We are finalizing plans for it to be cleaned off the exterior,†says Mark Cotter, Director of Public Works.
Not sure if Gage Brothers is paying for the cleanup or not, I’m guessing they probably are due to the embarrassment of such work (if it really is their fault or not). But this 180 by the city is baffling hypocrisy. We find it necessary to clean up a little salt because it may ‘look bad’ but after receiving a $1 million dollar settlement for the dented up siding, we leave it, because it is a ‘design element’.
