In May 2003, we were contracted to perform a non-destructive infrared roof moisture survey and comprehensive visual evaluation of the existing
roof system on the Macsteel USA facility located in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The roof system included approximately 355,848 square feet of
mechanically attached EPDM installed over an original smooth surfaced built-up roof system. The non-destructive testing revealed that
approximately 101,480 square feet (29%) of the roof area surveyed was detrimentally affected by moisture intrusion. Numerous additional
deficient conditions were documented during our visual inspection of the roof system that dictated that the only option available was for removal
and replacement. Upon completion and review of the initial roof condition evaluation, we were requested by the Owner to provide detailed
specifications and construction administration services for the total replacement of the existing roof system. The project was completed in
September, 2004. In January 2007, we were requested by Macsteel to perform a follow-up infrared moisture survey and visual inspection of the
new roof system to verify that it is performing as intended. The project is currently scheduled for completion.
