Roof Report<\/h4>\n

Accident Fund Holdings, the nation\u2019s 13th largest workers\u2019 compensation insurer and a subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, has been headquartered in Lansing, Mich., for more than 100 years. When it outgrew its office, the firm\u2019s leaders were determined to stay in Lansing.<\/p>\n

By revitalizing the iconic Ottawa Street Power Station, which was built along the Grand River in 1939 but had been mostly abandoned since 1992, the company would have 9 stories and 122,000 square feet to grow into. To support Michigan\u2019s economy, 106 of the 118 contracts and suppliers that participated in the project were Michigan-based firms and 54 of those were Lansing-based.<\/p>\n

To remove existing building elements, including catwalks, elevator\/ stair shafts, framing and platforms, the team cut two 40-foot-long by 20-foot-wide roof hatches so a crane operator could move about 8,900 pieces of steel in and out of the building while the floors were built from the bottom up.<\/p>\n

Since Accident Fund moved into its new headquarters, the building has won numerous awards, including the Governor\u2019s Award for Historic Preservation from the state of Michigan and an Excellence in Economic Development Award from the Washington, D.C.-based International Economic Development Council.

McElroy Metal installed 1,960 solar panels on its facility. PHOTO: McElroy Metal<\/p><\/div>\n

Roof Materials<\/h4>\n

The existing metal roof was retrofitted with a 238T symmetrical standing-seam system as a metal-over-metal solution. The 238T system is comprised of panels with matching left and right seams that are joined with a mechanically seamed cap. The panels are non-directional and can be installed left to right, right to left or even center to right or left.<\/p>\n

For this project, the panels were installed over the existing roof with McElroy\u2019s patent-pending 238T Retrofit Clip, a 3 1\/2-inch standoff clip that elevates the new roof system to the top of the existing panels. The use of the 238T Retrofit Clip instead of a sub-framing system reduced the overall cost of the reroof portion by approximately 25 percent. The clip stands above the existing panel\u2019s major ribs, allowing for the addition of foam insulation for increased R-value and support for the new roof panels.<\/p>\n

A total of 1,960 solar panels were installed on the plant roof and on a canopy in the parking lot. Three different clamps were used to attach the solar panels: one for the 238T panel, one for an existing through-fastened panel in the back corner of the facility and a third for the existing standing-seam panel on the office lean-to.<\/p>\n

Roof Report<\/h4>\n

The solar-power project, believed to be the largest solar installation for a metal roofing manufacturer, is part of the Medium Scale Georgia Power Advanced Solar Initiative Program. The energy generated from the 500-kilowatt system will not directly power the facility but will be sold back to Georgia Power.<\/p>\n

The Paramount Metal Systems crew installed the 30,000 square feet of retrofit metal roofing panels in about eight days; the solar installation was completed in another 2 1\/2 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
