The Waves Condominium Surfside

The Waves is a 12-story, oceanfront condominium at 9455 Collins Ave in Surfside. Built in 1991, the association engaged TISW CORP to modernize exterior openings—impact windows and large-format sliding glass doors—while preserving Atlantic views and meeting Miami-Dade impact and water-infiltration performance requirements.

Client Goals

Achieve full Miami-Dade / Florida Building Code compliance (impact, pressure, water).
Refresh sightlines and finishes to align with the boutique oceanfront profile.
Minimize disruption in an occupied high-rise environment.
Improve comfort via better noise reduction, solar control, and air/water tightness.

Challenges & Our Solutions

Challenges

Direct ocean exposure with wind-driven rain and salt air.
Oversized slider panels requiring engineered rigging and precise handling at height.
Strict submittals/approvals and QA water-testing standards.

Impact-rated assemblies matched to tower design pressures and exposure zones.
Performance glazing (laminated + low-E/solar control) tuned for acoustics and thermal comfort.
Resident-centric phasing: stack-by-stack scheduling, clear daily communications, and clean work areas.
Precision installation using swing stages and crane/smart-lift handling for oversized units; shop-drawing & submittal control.
QA & documentation: targeted water testing, punch-list management, and comprehensive closeout for the association.
