Sika Sarnafil announced the winners of its third annual Roof Consultant Project
of the Year competition.
CANTON, Mass.
– Sika Sarnafil announced the winners of its third annual Roof Consultant
Project of the Year competition.
First place was awarded to Curtainwall Design Consulting, Inc. (CDC,
Inc.) of Las Vegas, Nev.; second place to Elkin/Sobolta & Associates of
Rutherford, N.J.; and Dry Tech Engineering LLC of Atlanta,
Ga., won the third place honor. The competition recognizes and celebrates
excellence in roofing design.
“These roofing consultant organizations exhibited outstanding problem
solving skills, with the end-result being that building owners were provided
with long-lasting roofing solutions,” said Brian J. Whelan, Senior Vice
President of Sika Sarnafil. “It is a pleasure to acknowledge, in all three
instances, a job well done.”
Sika Sarnafil evaluated the competition entries and selected the winners
based upon criteria that included creative problem solving, project challenges,
design solutions, and unique skills employed to ensure the success of the
project.
The winning first place entry from CDC, Inc., involved the reroofing of
the 35,000 square foot City Hall building in Henderson, Nev. This combination low/steep slope roof is
highly visible, and the city wanted to replicate the appearance of the previous
standing seam metal roof. The roof also had to be watertight, of course, and
meet a targeted budget. CDC proposed Sika Sarnafil’s proven Décor Roof system,
which met wind resistance requirements, addressed expansion detailing needs,
interfaced with onsite cladding systems, and economically provided the
appearance of a standing seam metal roof.
The second place winning project was from Elkin/Sobolta, a key member of
the team responsible for a multi-level vegetated roof installation at the
Rutgers University Business School in Newark, N.J.
Three distinct green roofs totaling nearly 10,000 square feet were designed and
installed on multiple levels to respond to different use requirements and
included both Extensive and Intensive vegetated growth areas. Elkin/Sobolta
selected Sika Sarnafil’s monolithic, heat-welded membrane to address the
University's desire for long-lasting, watertight roofs that would be durable,
require minimal maintenance, and include a single source warranty for the entire
green roof assembly.
Dry Tech Engineering was the third place winner for specifying the lightweight Decor Roof system from Sika
Sarnafil to retrofit an existing metal roof. Budget constraints had kept
municipal officials from replacing the standing seam metal roof at the 18,000
square foot Center for Mental Health Services in Columbus, Ga.,
despite the fact that it had been leaking for years. Sika Sarnafil’s vinyl membrane was installed over the
metal, thus avoiding tear-off expenses, and the Décor system battens effectively
and economically simulated the appearance of the standing metal seams. Most
importantly, the facility is now leak-free.
