Madeleine Dugger Andrews Middle School

Client: City of Medford
Project Location: Medford, Massachusetts
Project Size: 43,000 SF
Project Type: Roof Restoration

Challenge:

The 17-year old EPDM roof system at the Madeleine Dugger Andrews Middle School was experiencing isolated leaks and age-related deterioration. While the City of Medford was preparing to install a roof mounted solar power system they decided to recoat the existing roof material with a reinforced fluid applied roof membrane to extend the life of the roof.

Solution:

• Infrared survey to identify areas of wet insulation to be removed and replaced

• Fluid applied roof system allowed for a sustainable approach to reuse the existing dry insulation and sheet metal flashings, resulting in a significant cost savings over traditional roof replacement that would have completely removed the existing roof system down to the structural deck

• Prepared construction documents, coordinated the public bidding process, and provided construction administration services, while keeping the project on time and within budget
