DESIGN-BUILD ROOF REPLACEMENT, CUPOLA AND WINDOW RESTORATION

Gale performed an in-depth investigative roof assessment report (IRA) to document and delineate existing conditions at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. We assessed the existing conditions, proposed work to be performed, and projected work over the next 10 years. Design challenges included performing a historical assessment of modifications to the cupola and windows on the original building; reviewing thermal requirements for the facility; detailing interfaces between the numerous roof systems, and complex roof and wall lines throughout the facility; evaluating drainage systems; and providing augmenting and overflow systems without disturbing the building interior or the existing architectural elements.
