项目描述：很难相信2008年的一场飓风使得休斯顿大学遭受了如此大的损害。一开始视察的时候只发现了一些需要小修小补的破损，原来不是这样的！

幸运的是，大学有一个屋顶行业顾问Armko，他提议用红外热成像检查已进入屋面系统水平的水分。结果他们发现了水分在屋顶内根本不可渗透，因此需要更换一个全新的屋顶系统。

在这种紧急情况下，休斯顿大学向Castro Roofing 和Storm Hawk请求帮助。

Castro Roofing在H科学中心安装了U型屋顶。

现在转向新屋顶。

校方同意了安装新的屋顶，但他们不希望为了要持续施工六十三天的项目撤离或关闭整个休斯敦科学中心。我们的目的是去除现有的45500平方英尺的屋顶部分，代之以各种新的屋面材料，包括绝缘材料、金属板泛水、木块、沥青和防雷保护材料，这显然是有点难度的。

这使他们能够继续使用现有的建筑，而我们就开始有条不紊地拆除屋面杂物并且安装一个全新的屋顶。

CastroRoofing安装了2400平方英尺的防雷设施和新的走道。

Project Description
There was little reason to believe that the eye of Hurricane Ike had done significant damage to the University of Houston’s campus after it made landfall over the campus in 2008. The subsequent physical inspection turned up little damage—but it missed something crucial!
Fortunately, the university had a roof consultant, Armko Industries, Inc. The roof consultant made the wise recommendation to use infrared thermal mapping to check on the level of moisture that had got inside the roofing system. As a result of this mapping, they discovered an unacceptable level of moisture infiltration within the roof, such that the roof needed to be replaced with an entirely new roofing system.
So much for no damage...
In this emergency situation, the University of Houston turned to Castro Roofing and the Storm Hawks.

Time for a Re-Roofing.
University of Houston officials chose to get a new roof installed, but they didn’t want to have to evacuate or shut down the entire Houston Science Center for the duration of the project, which turned out to be sixty-three days. We were up to the challenging task of systematically removing sections of the existing 45,500-square-foot roof and replacing them with a variety of new roofing materials, including insulation, sheet-metal flashings, wood blocking, asphalt, and lightning protection.
This allowed them to continue using the building while we methodically removed roofing debris and installed a brand-new roof.

安全第一

在施工过程中，我们把安全放在首位，关注我们的工人、建筑人员和行人，避免任何意外事故的发生。为了做到这一点，我们在工作时必须重新定位安全风转向器的设施，来保持可以接受的化学烟雾水平。

我们为员工举办了22次安全会议，讨论OSHA的安全标准下对损伤的预防和防护等一切事项。我们雇用了一个第三方的安全专家，以确保工作人员的安全。令人欣慰的是，在整个项目建设过程中没有发生任何意外或受伤！

最后，我们提前两周完成了这个项目，获得全国屋顶承包商协会2013金圈奖入围资格。

Safety First
During the process, we put safety first, focusing on how we could avoid any accidents for our workers, building occupants, and pedestrians. To accomplish this, we had to safely reposition wind diverters in the facility to keep chemical fume levels acceptable while doing our job.
We also had twenty-two safety meetings with our employees to discuss everything from OSHA safety standards to back-injury prevention and protective wear. We employed a third-party job safety expert to ensure that a safety plan was implemented successfully. Thankfully, no accidents or injuries were reported during the entire project!
In the end, we managed to complete the project two weeks ahead of schedule and were recognized as a finalist in the National Roofing Contractor Association’s 2013 Gold Circle Awards program.
