Contractor:  Butcher & Baecker Construction Co., Inc.
Chief Estimator/Foreman:  Robert Meller/Chris Bailey
Name of Project:  Mass Transportation Authority - Flint, MI
Existing Roof:  Fully adhered/Mechanically attached EPDM & PVC
System Installed:  Elasta-Gard SP
Area:  Administration Bldg. (14,200 SF), Operations Bldg. (259,200 SF) & Greyhound Station (9,500 SF)
Regional Manager:  Jim Rogers

Scope of Work Performed:  Before work began, all roof areas received an infrared roof scan to determine wet areas in the existing roof systems.  A map with the results of the infrared scan was then forwarded to the Owner and then confirmed with test cuts and marked on the roof for ease of recognition.  All wet areas were removed and replaced with new material to match existing roof height and membrane materials.

Each roof was power washed with 8500 Biodegradable Cleaner and allowed to dry.  All seams were examined and patched as required with 86218 Flashing Tape with the balance of the seams receiving a treatment of 7419-HB and Tietex fabric for reinforcement.  After preparation, the Elasta-Gard SP Roof System was installed.

Project Overview:  The facility manager, Lynn McLean had the foresight to notice that now was the time to try and prolong the life of the existing roofing systems instead of waiting a few more years and incurring an expensive cost of total tear-off and replacement.

The white energy star rated and sustainable Elasta-Gard SP system looks great and is the result of quality workmanship by Butcher & Baecker's crew.  Upon completion of the project, all the crew wanted to know is "when is the next one"?  Many thanks to those involved in making this project a reality.
