Project Summary
The project involves replacing the existing Built-Up Gravel (BUR) roof system at the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center (CMA) with a 20-year warranted, fully adhered multi-ply modified bitumen roof system, installed over a cover board with insulation and a vapor barrier attached to the concrete deck. The project also requires MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) modifications, as well as access and site adjustments. Additionally, the work includes roof repairs at the CMB building, as detailed in the project documents.
Project Location: Jesse H. Jones Communication Center (CMA), 2504 A Whitis Ave, Austin, TX 78712
Major Anticipated Outcomes/Benefits of Completed Project: Roof materials have been blowing off, impacting several windows, walkways, and patios. This construction will provide new roof plans and specifications to prevent further damage. The existing roof membrane's warranty and life cycle have expired.
