This project involved
the complete removal and replacement of a 77,800 sq. ft. coal tar pitch
roof. What made the project especially challenging was that the 77,800 sq.
ft. was divided up among several roof sections. To remove multiple layers
of old roofing we used a reinforced 160-foot long debris chute. The new
system consisted of a 4-ply coal tar pitch roof made by Allied Signal, a
gravel surface, and Derbicolor GP manufactured by Performance Roof Systems
with 2 base plies in asphalt. All the work was completed while the old
14-story warehouse was undergoing a complete renovation to serve as the
new headquarters for Tripp Manufacturing, a leading computer peripheral
manufacturer.
