Description

BEWARE THE CONCRETE ROOF DECK: A Roundtable Discussion


Panelists:

  • Bob Moretti, MBA, CSI, CDT - Director, Technical Solutions, Tremco Roofing
  • Brian Vladovich, AIA, LEED AP - Senior Project Manager, Olsson Roofing Company, Inc.

Designing and installing a commercial roofing system over a concrete roof deck involves traversing an obstacle course of challenges related to concrete deck-related moisture. Over the last 20+ years, industry-funded research and many re-roofing lessons-learned have identified both key contributing factors and suggested solutions to concrete roof deck moisture-related failures. However, there has not yet been a universal industry “rule book” written for installing roofing systems over a concrete roof deck.

 

For this roundtable, a roofing manufacturer’s technical director and experienced roofing contractor return to discuss their experiences with addressing concrete roof deck moisture. Open dialogue from attendees to share experiences, lessons learned, and their approach to keeping roof deck moisture out of their roofing systems is encouraged.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Describe possible sources of moisture within a commercial roofing system installed over a concrete roof deck.
    2. Analyze how the presence of moisture can create a safety hazard to building occupants and/or lead to roofing system failure.
    3. Explain the importance of moisture management and the appropriate design and installation measures that should be taken to ensure that the roof remains a non-hazardous, functional portion of the building enclosure.
    4. Recall key considerations that should be part of a commercial roofing system specification and installation.
