Strong-SealŪ Quick Leveling Roof Material: Case History |
 |
Project: Bush Intercontinental Airport Continental Terminal Building C-North and South Houston, Texas Contractor: Roof Top Service Company 16226 Waverly Drive Houston, Texas 77032 Consulting Engineer: Price Consulting, Inc. 211 Highland Cross Road, Suite 270 Houston, Texas 77073 Project Engineer: Mr. Karl Schaak |
| The project consisted of replacing approximately 300,000 square feet of roofing on
the Continental Terminal Building at Busch International Airport, Houston, Texas. Since the terminals
could not be shut down nor could air traffic be interrupted, any roof uncovered during the day had to
be recovered the same day. Prior to roof replacement the existing lightweight concrete deck had to be
repaired where soft spots occurred and leveled to eliminate pounding.
The project demanded a fast setting product, and the product needed to be mixed and place fast. Karl Schaak, V.P. of Operations, Price Consulting, Inc., had witnessed a demonstration of The Strong Company, Inc.'s roof deck repair system and after a meeting with the Strong personnel, decided to specify the Strong-SealŪ Quick Leveling Roof Material for the referenced project. According to Karl, "Not only did I like the fast set time of the product, but I was also impressed with the fact that Strong had the equipment needed for the application. It was just what the job demanded. Mr. Denny Busyn, Vice President of Roof Top Service Company, the contractor, was made aware of Strong's roof deck repair system. After witnessing an on site demonstration, he was so impressed with what he saw that he purchased a machine on the spot! Approximately 4,000 bags of Strong-SealŪ Quick Level were placed on this project. Denny stated, "The Strong System enabled be to meet the demands of the job, and to do so profitably. It is a system I will use again and is one that I would highly recommend to other roofing contractors."  |
