Intrusion Introduction
and History Analysis Review of the roof indicated that the tar was brittle and cracking causing the
overall roof to be considered in extremely bad condition. Simple roof repairs as suggested by the roofing
contractors would not last the winter and as technicians walked on the roof for other repair work would cause further damage.
During the inspection, it was determined that the school also had one overlay more than allowed by code. It was also
determined that with the school operating year-round, the air-conditioning system was not able to keep the interior space
within specified temperatures during the summer months. Project Innovative Facilities was brought hired to develop the scope
of work, bid, awarded, and manage the project. Scope included the addition of rigid R-20 insulation to be installed above
the decking, pitching the roof to allow drainage and protect against the elements. The roof design was
ballasted with specifying white river rock. Roof replacement was completed in two weeks during February
and a 12-year manufacturers’ warranty was provided. Results Total project costs, including Innovative Facilities' fee was less than the lowest bid from the original roofing
contractor bids received by the School Board. During the summer, the School's utility bills were reduced by 1/3 due
to the insulation and color of the roof. In addition, the school received its’ license renewal from the City of
Falls Church well before the May deadline.
