School District Multi-Building Roof Replacement
/The Conrad Weiser Area School District needed to repair, and in some cases replace, the roofs of their Middle and High School buildings. Coordinated with the School District Administration to perform the work over the summer, we began the process with quality control testing for the product selected and selective demolition as required, providing temporary protection of roof areas being repaired or replaced to maintain the weather-proof condition of the existing building.
Experienced supervisors and installers, approved by the manufacturers installed the membrane roofing system and applied the coating system. Rigid insulation panels including tapered insulation, metal copings, roof edge fascia, flashings, expansion joints, roof drains, scuppers and other accessories as required were also part of the scope of work. Additionally, new metal gutters and snow guards were added to the High School’s existing metal roof system.
At the Middle School, 100 linear feet of seam irregularities and repairs were performed on the surface of the built-up roofing system. An additional 300 square feet of damaged or wet roof insulation and repair, and the installation of 10 additional replacement roof drains were also part of the project.
Muhlenberg Green Architects’ Firm Principal and Project Architect James A. Sarro, AIA, wanted a cost-effective way to revitalize the finish of the existing metal roof at the High School. Created in the school’s custom blue color, Acrymax® Technologies Inc.'s coating system, based on Kynar Aquatec® PVDF, was selected to refresh the look of the building and provide the continued performance of the metal roofs for years to come.
Working within the School District’s budget and guidance provided by the product manufacturer, the proper products were selected during the design process and installed in the field under Jim’s and Acrymax’s supervision, resulting in the successful completion of the project.
