The Broad Institute
Description
A $3.3 million project consisting of 100% removal of the existing PVC roof assemblies down to existing roof deck and replacement with new fully adhered 72 mil pvc single-ply roof membrane assemblies. This 26,000SF roof was particularly sensitive as the building beneath the roof housed an extremely large mechanical penthouse, critical to the operation of the Broad Institute.
Approach
- Worked to secure procure roofing materials, stymied by supply chain issues
- Strategically replaced roof in seven different sections and phases
- All crane picks for this project required off-hours coordination with the building, as well as the city
Results
- Demolition and installation of complete roofing system in seven different phases
- Modified existing roof edge, curb components, steel catwalks, etc. to accommodate the new roof assemblies, appropriate flashing heights and termination heights
