Project Description:

The project involves Building 32 which is part of the Defense Supply Center located in Chesterfield County, Richmond, Virginia.   Buildings 32 was originally a warehouse constructed in the 1940s and later converted into office space.  Building 32 is divided into bays and have a steel structure, wood deck and brick façade. Each bay contains an exterior canopy of approximately 2,000 SF each.  Building 32 (bays A-E) were demolished to accommodate the new DLS (Defense Logistics Supply Operations) Center at South.  Multiple renovations have occurred over the life of this facility and the current roof membranes have reached the end of their serviceable life.

This project requires the complete removal and replacement of the existing 170,430 SF roof of Building 32 (bays F-M) with a new in-kind EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer) roof.  The removal and in-kind replacement include downspouts, roof drain, expansion joints, covers, flashing, walkway pads and associated roof components.  The existing skylights will be removed and blocked off with a new roof.  Non-roof components are also included, these are the removal and in-kind replacement of piping penetrations, conduits, equipment curbs, ladders, and security covers.  The existing equipment will remain or will be removed, stored and re-installed.  The existing equipment includes the mechanical & static ventilators, mini split condensing units and controls.  Patch, repair and repaint will be part of the scope that is associated with the re-roofing work for damaged or affected metal panels, louvers, windows, and masonry.  Portions of the existing wood deck will be repaired and/or retrofitted as required.  Lower roofs are also included in the removal and replacement work.
