A major expansion for the area's most prestigious shopping mall required 138,000 square feet of ballasted rubber single ply membrane system. The fast-track design/build project required that roof systems installation be started and completed between mid-October and early January. In progress, materials and equipment were required to withstand the vortexes of a large construction helicopter.
This assignment required specifying and installing industrial roof systems that would stand up under a wide variety of rigorous environmental conditions, often in unstaffed locations where routine maintenance checks are few and far between. Buildings involved included pump stations, treatment plants, and administration buildings. Common rooftop fixtures ranged from chlorination units to industrial vent fans and corrosion-resistant stainless steel flashing. Bi-State installed single ply membrane systems with special resistance to chemical exposure.
The synthetic membrane roof system for this busy 450,000 square foot warehouse center went on in only 90 days. A leading German-owned chain of discount supermarkets, Aldi specified an unusually thick (72 Mill instead of the normal 48 mill) system. Mechanically fastened and non-ballasted, the durable membrane is warranted for 15 years. Throughout the project Bi-State worked closely with the owner's construction management executives to meet exacting installation criteria. Experience with internationally used roof systems was a selection criteria for the project.
This multistory story state office building located in downtown Atlanta required additional and unique safety measures. The securing of construction materials and equipment were constantly monitored in order to withstand frequent wind gusts. The selection of the roof system was coordinated with the State of Georgia and Bi-State Roof Systems, Inc.
