Project: KouR1-101a

Our Recent-Projects Include New Construction As-Well-As Addition and Renovation of House, Commercial, Condo, Light-Industrial, Multi-Family Buildings, ...

This commercial building has prefabricated concrete fiber roof panels supported on open web steel joists. The flat roof has rubberized waterproofing on top.

The roof panels overall have held up pretty well in this building of 1960s vintage.

However, at places, the prefabricated panels have suffered some damage -- some have water stains from a prior roof leakage, some have slipped a bit off the supports, and at some places they have frayed or broken especially near a support edge or at a penetration. The concrete fiber panels have also shown a tendency to swell from water absorption at points where some roof leakage has occurred especially at penetrations in the roof panels.

I present here some pictures of the concrete fiber panels that I took during my structural integrity evaluation of the building. It would not be practical and would also not be cost-effective to procure or fabricate new panels for replacement. So, I have recommended repairing the damaged roof panels from undernath and inside the building -- I will keep you posted with further progress on this.
