The SUNY Cortland Old Main re-roof project included tear off of existing slate roof and copper apron. Then repairs to existing deck boards were made followed by the install of new copper apron and slate roof. Tear off existing EPDM roofing and install new 2 ply Soprema colply roof system.
There were many challenges to this project such as working over an occupied building with public safety / pedestrian traffic a concern while performing tear off, as well as busy parking lots adjacent to building. Weather was another factor, we worked through heat of summer and continued to work through the wind, snow, and cold temperatures of winter. Roofing material deliveries had to be scheduled early AM as to not disrupt campus deliveries.
