This commercial building roof restoration client required roof anchor installation
York, ON, M6N 4C3, Canada
Anchor locations were marked based on engineering drawings to ensure precise placement.
The roof was prepped by removing stone ballast and insulation to expose the membrane and concrete substrate.
To improve drainage, two additional roof drains were installed prior to starting the anchor work.
The Elite team began by preparing the roof according to engineering drawings. This included clearing the stone ballast, removing insulation, and cutting back the roof membrane to expose the concrete substrate at each anchor location.
MJH’s crew drilled into the structural concrete roof slab and applied epoxy chemicals to secure the anchors with bolts. Each anchor was carefully positioned and allowed to cure for maximum stability.
Once the anchors were in place, Elite Roofing restored the roof membrane by installing spun aluminum anchor flashings, adding SBS modified bitumen roofing, and replacing insulation where needed. The stone ballast was then returned to its original position.
The anchors underwent weight testing to ensure they met safety and performance standards, confirming there were no movement or stability issues.
Elite Roofing delivered tailored solutions to address the project’s unique challenges, focusing on safety, precision, and collaboration. From detailed pre-installation planning to rigorous testing, our approach ensured the successful completion of the roof restoration and anchor installation, meeting tight timelines and long-term safety needs.
The roof anchors were successfully installed, and Anco Building Restoration was able to begin the restoration safely with their crew.
