Client Objectives:
Provide a roof assembly able to withstand severe operational abuse
Enable plant personnel to easily identify and repair roof assembly damage
Provide a roof assembly that would require only minimal maintenance during its anticipated lifetime
Install a roof assembly with elastomeric properties
Solution:
Specifications were written to remove existing materials to 24 gauge deck to stiffen up deck assembly, side lap fasten 24 gauge deck at 18 inch on center. Replace deteriorated 24 gauge deck with 18-gauge deck, clean and prime all deck, install two layers insulation with staggered joints, and install granulated SBS asphalt modified B.U.R. assembly with aluminum foil faced SBS flashings.
Demolition involved removal of five roof mounted concrete transformer pads and runways in conjunction with abatement firm. Construction documents provided for all expansion joints to b e 22 gauge galvanized sheet metal and for replacement of all internal drains.
Outcomes:
Due to facility size of 1,784,966 square feet, the project was phased into six parts over a projected 18-month period with a budget of $7,000,000 for 1,286,496 square feet of roof replacement. The project was substantially completed within 14 months at a final cost of $6,250,000.
