No matter how good you are at providing your customers with a watertight roofing – or re-roofing – system, installing, connecting and/or disconnecting a lightning protection system is a task better left to specialists.
To speed construction – and ease transitions for students who might get shifted to new facilities as they become available – the county-wide school district has developed model plans for its K-8 and senior high buildings.
Opinion piece: EPDM self-adhered (SA) is a superior option for re-roof projects as it does not require welding or adhesive application expertise, helping to reduce labor requirements and removing membrane adhesive inconsistencies.
The 108kW system is installed on the state-of-the-art George B. Duke Engineering and Information Technologies Building on the Pitt-Bradford campus in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Now operational, it is expected to produce 116,500 kWh of electricity each year, offsetting approximately 40% of the building’s total electricity use.
On the first day of the project, the 7-man crew installed 16 sheets – more than 25,000 square feet of membrane. There was a little learning curve, but they were able to improve productivity starting on day one.
An estimated 15,000 attendees, including 6,094 student competitors, descended upon the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta for the 2023 SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference and TECHSPO June 19-23, 2023.
Critical facilities, as defined by the government/FEMA, can include: fire stations, police stations, hospitals, emergency operation centers…and more. Are these critical facilities in your community protected from a lightning strike?
From the return to more normal lead times and availability, to green shoots in attracting and retaining a skilled labor force, and a growing emphasis on sustainable building materials and transparency, there are many factors that will continue to shape the roofing industry positively.
The team replaced the building’s old roof with a low-maintenance roof garden system designed to alleviate stormwater runoff, extend the life of the roof, and add aesthetic value.
