It isn\u2019t often that a nightmare becomes a pleasant reality. Andy Baker, vice president of Raleigh, N.C.- based Baker Roofing, recalls the year he spent as project manager for the roofing of the new Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn., as one of his most challenging jobs. \u201cThe logistics, a tight spot downtown, the size of the project and everything that goes along with that\u2014thousands of people trying to work and everyone needs their material in that area at the same time. Even the unique shape of the building made it hard,\u201d Baker remembers. \u201cWe\u2019re glad it\u2019s done and we can look back on it now and say: \u2018Wow! We did that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Music City Center was built to be the catalyst for more development in the SoBro neighborhood of Nashville, Tenn. It is intended to create a diverse economy that won\u2019t be affected if flooding occurs, like in May 2010.<\/p><\/div>Baker and his crew of up to 50 roofing workers have much to be proud of. The completed project is the largest capital construction project in Nashville\u2019s history and was designed to bring prosperity to the area known as SoBro, or South of Broadway, which was affected by massive flooding in May 2010. The Music City Center lies outside the flood-prone areas and hopefully will be the catalyst for more development, which will create a diverse economy that won\u2019t be affected if another flood occurs.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Music City Center\u2019s imaginative design that resembles various musical instruments, the building boasts a number of features that are ideal for a high-profile project. Many of these features are located in the most opportune of places\u2014the roof. An Energy Star-qualified thermoplastic PVC membrane covers the 643,752-squarefoot roof while a 186,700-square-foot vegetated roof literally mimics the rolling hills of Tennessee\u2019s Highland Rim. The rooftop also hosts a 211-kilowatt solar-power system on the 1-acre area that is over the Grand Ballroom, a rooftop space that resembles an acoustic guitar in shape. Lastly, the roof collects rainwater that is funneled to a 360,000-gallon tank before it is used to irrigate the site and flush hundreds of toilets inside.<\/p>\n

Construction Challenges<\/h4>\n

Baker and his colleagues knew the Music City Center would present many challenges even before work began. \u201cWe knew it was going to be a logistical nightmare going in but then you have to live it,\u201d he recalls. \u201cYou would think four city blocks would be a large enough area to work from but there were thousands of contractors working and receiving materials at the same time. Trying to keep truck drivers and suppliers happy was difficult. The community was great though; there were a lot of police officers around to direct traffic.\u201d

Installation also proved perplexing because of the roof\u2019s undulating slopes of 1\/4:12 to 12:12. Baker likens the rolls to waves and points out in some places they were almost conical in shape. In the areas in which there was no vegetated roof, the crew fastened two layers of 1.7-inch polyisocyanurate insulation followed by 1\/4-inch roof board. Then a 60-mil thermoplastic PVC membrane in a light gray color was fully adhered to the assembly. The membrane features a lacquer coating to reduce dirt pickup.<\/p>\n

\nThe vegetated section of the roof features an electric field vector mapping system to help detect the presence of leaks. The system delivers a low-voltage electrical charge between the non-conductive membrane and conductive structural deck. If there is a breach in the membrane, an electrical connection occurs. Roof board was then set in an adhesive so fasteners would not be directly beneath the waterproofing system. Finally, the same 60-mil membrane was adhered to the assembly.<\/p>\n

\"Installation<\/a>

Installation proved perplexing because of the roof\u2019s undulating slopes of 1\/4:12 to 12:12.<\/p><\/div>Greenrise Technologies, Murfreesboro, Tenn., was hired to install the vegetated roof. Because the green-roof portion is confined to the middle of the roof, transporting dirt from the loading point would require traversing completed roof sections, increasing the odds of damage. Greenrise Technologies utilized hoses 6 to 8 inches in diameter that acted as a reverse vacuum, blowing soil onto the roof. After the soil was spread, sedum blankets were rolled onto the soil. The coconut-fiber blankets are pre-planted with 10 to 12 sedum species that endure varying weather conditions.<\/p>\n

A final difficulty related to the building\u2019s walls, some of which extend up to 30 feet above the roof. \u201cWe actually adhered roof membrane to the walls,\u201d Baker says. \u201cYou start thinking about the pure size of the building\u2014we\u2019re talking miles of enhancement bars, which you have to put in the walls every 30 inches on center then strip them in by hand-welding. There were months that our people spent on scaffolding just nose to the wall, welding membrane even after they adhered it. It was a long process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citywide Success<\/h4>\n

Baker Roofing\u2019s team spent one full year working on the Music City Center, which held its grand opening in May 2013. About 15,000 people toured the facility during the two-day celebration. As would be expected, musical guests, including Brad Paisley, Vince Gill and Sheryl Crow, entertained the crowds of visitors. So far, the Music City Center is attracting the business the city of Nashville needed. The Convention Center Authority recently announced it had generated more than $26 million in economic impact in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the first full quarter of the center\u2019s operation.

\"Because<\/a>

Because the green-roof portion is confined to the middle of the roof, transporting dirt from the loading point would require traversing completed roof sections, increasing the odds of damage.<\/p><\/div> <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been very fortunate to have the opportunity to host events for numerous groups in the community, most recently the NAACP\u2019s 40th Annual Freedom Fund Gala and the Nashville Downtown Partnership\u2019s Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon,\u201d says Charles Starks, president and CEO of the Music City Center. \u201cWe have been very busy, but our team has done a great job adjusting to the high demand that this building has created and things are running very smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baker says his team also did a great job of rising to the demands of the building\u2019s construction. He recalls, \u201cI kept telling everyone \u2018when we\u2019re finished with this project, there\u2019s going to be 50 guys that aren\u2019t afraid to attack hell with a water pistol!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
