eBay Headquarters

Located on the North Campus of eBay’s Corporate Headquarters Park, Building 17, a five-story office building exhibited migration and running of the polyisobutylene (PIB) edge sealant into the interpane space of the vision and spandrel insulating glass units (IGU). These IGUs are integrated into the curtain wall at the south and west building elevations.

RRJ was retained to investigate the PIB sealant migration problem. RRJ conducted a field observation, photographic survey of each elevation of the building envelope, limited temperature survey of installed IGUs, IGU sample removal, independent laboratory testing, and review of available design and construction documents.
