Multi -Roof Replacement Project

There are several existing roofs (C50 ESAT Building/C52 PLT Power Building/C60 C Site Pump

House/D45 Rad Waste Handling Facility) which are past their useful life requiring costly

maintenance to upkeep. Severe water infiltration occurs regularly at failing joints, punctures,

and flashing. Portions of existing metal coping have pulled away during storm events causing

large sections of membrane to separate from the substrate. A catastrophic failure to one of

these roofs would negatively impact the ability to conduct the top priority experimental

operations in the Laboratory.
