Finished pictures of the BSU Student Union Roof Top, soon to become a garden for the students to grow vegetables. This pictures correspond to the post of July 12, 2010 "BSU Roof Top Garden" here you can see the completed project but if you read the orifinal article you will better understand the detailed work that was done by Upson Company in order to resolve a leaking roof isssue as well as allow it to become a garden for use by the students.






This wall had been of brick, the Duradek membrane is able to form a tight 90 degree at the base and run right up the wall. Provides a real nice look but more important is the confidence of a water tight roof.

The transisiton along the building is similar, the membrane runs up the wall about 8 inches and into a riglet. Flashing was then instlled over that for added insurance and a clean look.

Here what is significant is the addition of floor drains located near the old scuppers. You always want to have a secondary drainage system in case of a clog etc. It is difficult to see in this picture but the scupper runs through the wall out to the main roof.

The same flashing was used to give a clean yet eligant look.

These portable planter boxes will soon be filled with vegetables.

The doors had been flush with the old roof. Here they have been elevated and properly waterproofed.
