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.
