Client Objectives:
Stop roof leaks located intermittently throughout twenty-two deteriorated roof areas
Stop leaks and redesign existing plaza and sun deck
Restore exterior masonry wall construction to a water resistant assembly
Improve aesthetics of lower roof area viewable from tower guest rooms
Solution:
Work included separate major contracts for roofing and masonry restoration. The roofing contract included repair and replacement of twenty-two existing roofing areas and an extensive modification to the existing outdoor Pool Deck area.
Masonry work included removal and replacement of existing sealants, copper through-wall flashings, and installing additional vertical control joints and stainless steel and dam protection at all windows. The project also included a complete rebuild of exterior split face black veneer on a major portion of the exterior elevation of the facility, as well as guardrail and handrail replacement and complete exterior wall cleaning.
The outdoor pool deck was leaking at numerous locations so specifications were developed to remove the existing landscaping, wood decking and roofing. A 60 mil Sarnafil reinforced single ply with high density architectural pavers was designed and installed. Color was chosen by the owner and a pattern acceptable to the owner was developed.
Outcomes:
The project was completed successfully at a cost of $2,700,000. Project cost for the roofing was approximately $1,250,000 and $1,450,000 masonry restoration.
