ACAI's first assignment as roofing con- <br />sultant for Palm Beach County was to make <br />the buildings watertight. <br /> <br />Re-roofing of a multiple building complex in a <br />"live" campus setting is always a challenge - <br />our work at the Palm Beach County Judicial <br />Center was no different. This judicial center <br />included a 12-story courthouse building, a <br />six-story State's Attorney and Public <br />Defenders facility, and a one-story energy <br />center. <br /> <br />First Phase - 11 Story courthouse building <br />consisted of approximately 110,000 sq. ft. of <br />re-roof area with a SBS Modified' Bitumen <br />System on a multi-level building from low-rise <br />to high-rise. Work included complete foren- <br />sic investigations, testing, failure analysis, <br />tear-off and re-roof on new tapered insulation <br />system. Upon completion ACAI successfully <br />represented the County in a dispute resolu- <br />tion through mediation of claims with the <br />original design/build management team. <br /> <br />Second Phase - 6 Story State's Attorney <br />Public Defender Building. Re-roof of 35,000 <br />sq. ft. deck in a "live campus" setting. Work <br />included complete tear-off and re-roofing with <br />a Coal Tar Pitch System utilizing metal flash- <br />ing, and counterflashing on a new insulation <br />system. <br /> <br /> <br />c.ee.e~'f.4ttIe9 <br /> <br />construction management <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />architecture <br /> <br />engineering <br /> <br />roofing consulting <br /> <br />4ltd '},,,,It'} ~4C' <br />
