Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Grounds Remediation; National Historic Landmark; Erosion Control
Westerly Enterprises worked with care and diligence to provide Landscape Alterations at the National Historic Landmark St. Elizabeths Campus. The project objective was to protect the aesthetic of the landscape and ensure running water cannot wash away materials that had the potential to cause open cracks along fence lines, thus preventing hazardous conditions. We designed a plan for the areas in need of rock placement and prepared the area for work. We filled deep pockets in the ground alongside the patrol path adjacent to the perimeter path parallel to the On-Campus Access Road between Firth Stirling and Gate #6. In length, it was approximately 500 feet on the side of the paved road. We ensured roads were cleared of rocks and trash every day after working.

Westerly Enterprises, LLC was the prime contractor for this roof replacement project. This project consisted of the removal of the existing roofing system, the installation of a new extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (EPDM) roofing system, repairs to the existing roofing structure, attachment of metal flashing, and the installation of fall protection railing and lifelines. We removed and installed ten (10) split system condensing units, roof drains, roof leader piping, and a new lighting protection system. The new roofing involved the replacement of five (5) separate rooftops—totaling 5,132 square feet; minor roof repairs were performed on an additional five (5) roof areas, and over 1,000 linear feet of metal flashing work. Westerly demolished the existing EPDM roof and replaced it with a new EPDM roofing system. Work was performed on five differing roof levels. Due to the nature of work performed by the building occupants, the client requested that inside-building-work be performed during the weekdays and outside-building-work be performed on the weekends. The demolition phase was crucial, as inside-building-work required facility escort-access to the work area.
The existing modified-bitumen roofing system was removed, and the new adhered EPDM roofing system was installed with new metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts. Repairs were performed to the existing seams throughout five (5) rooftop levels. Metal flashings were re-caulked and five (5) HVAC units were disconnected. New roof curbs were installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof. The existing roof surfaces had new walkway pads installed to service the roof and rooftop mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment. New cast iron stormwater drain piping with roof drains were installed throughout the new roof areas. The existing facility lacked parapet walls, at all roof levels, and we installed new metal wall-mounted ladders to access the 10 different roof levels. Westerly installed a structural steel fall protection system with tie-downs and lifeline consisting of 37 steel posts attached to the building structures. Steel plates were bolted on the various walls or deck levels with safety-D hooks. Safety railings were installed around mechanical equipment at unsecure roof levels. A new lightning protection system was installed on all roof perimeters. Eight (8) ground rods were installed that terminated at the end of each vertical lightning protection conductor. The conductors were attached to the side of the building and painted to match the existing brick façade and installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof.

Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Design-Bid-Build; Exterior Renovation; Roofing; Demolition
Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.

Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Design-Bid-Build; Exterior Renovation; Roofing; Demolition
Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.

This project consisted of the removal of the existing roofing system, the installation of a new extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (EPDM) roofing system, repairs to the existing roofing structure, attachment of metal flashing, and the installation of fall protection railing and lifelines. We removed and installed ten (10) split system condensing units, roof drains, roof leader piping, and a new lighting protection system. The new roofing involved the replacement of five (5) separate rooftops—totaling 5,132 square feet; minor roof repairs were performed on an additional five (5) roof areas, and over 1,000 linear feet of metal flashing work. Westerly demolished the existing EPDM roof and replaced it with a new EPDM roofing system. Work was performed on five differing roof levels. Due to the nature of work performed by the building occupants, the client requested that inside-building-work be performed during the weekdays and outside-building-work be performed on the weekends. The demolition phase was crucial, as inside-building-work required facility escort-access to the work area.
The existing modified-bitumen roofing system was removed, and the new adhered EPDM roofing system was installed with new metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts. Repairs were performed to the existing seams throughout five (5) rooftop levels. Metal flashings were re-caulked and five (5) HVAC units were disconnected. New roof curbs were installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof. The existing roof surfaces had new walkway pads installed to service the roof and rooftop mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment. New cast iron stormwater drain piping with roof drains were installed throughout the new roof areas. The existing facility lacked parapet walls, at all roof levels, and we installed new metal wall-mounted ladders to access the 10 different roof levels. Westerly installed a structural steel fall protection system with tie-downs and lifeline consisting of 37 steel posts attached to the building structures. Steel plates were bolted on the various walls or deck levels with safety-D hooks. Safety railings were installed around mechanical equipment at unsecure roof levels. A new lightning protection system was installed on all roof perimeters. Eight (8) ground rods were installed that terminated at the end of each vertical lightning protection conductor. The conductors were attached to the side of the building and painted to match the existing brick façade and installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof.

This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements.

Westerly Enterprises, LLC was the prime contractor for this roof replacement project. This project consisted of the removal of the existing roofing system, the installation of a new extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (EPDM) roofing system, repairs to the existing roofing structure, attachment of metal flashing, and the installation of fall protection railing and lifelines. We removed and installed ten (10) split system condensing units, roof drains, roof leader piping, and a new lighting protection system. The new roofing involved the replacement of five (5) separate rooftops—totaling 5,132 square feet; minor roof repairs were performed on an additional five (5) roof areas, and over 1,000 linear feet of metal flashing work. Westerly demolished the existing EPDM roof and replaced it with a new EPDM roofing system. Work was performed on five differing roof levels. Due to the nature of work performed by the building occupants, the client requested that inside-building-work be performed during the weekdays and outside-building-work be performed on the weekends. The demolition phase was crucial, as inside-building-work required facility escort-access to the work area.
The existing modified-bitumen roofing system was removed, and the new adhered EPDM roofing system was installed with new metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts. Repairs were performed to the existing seams throughout five (5) rooftop levels. Metal flashings were re-caulked and five (5) HVAC units were disconnected. New roof curbs were installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof. The existing roof surfaces had new walkway pads installed to service the roof and rooftop mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment. New cast iron stormwater drain piping with roof drains were installed throughout the new roof areas. The existing facility lacked parapet walls, at all roof levels, and we installed new metal wall-mounted ladders to access the 10 different roof levels. Westerly installed a structural steel fall protection system with tie-downs and lifeline consisting of 37 steel posts attached to the building structures. Steel plates were bolted on the various walls or deck levels with safety-D hooks. Safety railings were installed around mechanical equipment at unsecure roof levels. A new lightning protection system was installed on all roof perimeters. Eight (8) ground rods were installed that terminated at the end of each vertical lightning protection conductor. The conductors were attached to the side of the building and painted to match the existing brick façade and installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof.

Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Design-Bid-Build; Exterior Renovation; Roofing; Demolition
Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.

Westerly Enterprises, LLC was the prime contractor for this roof replacement project. This project consisted of the removal of the existing roofing system, the installation of a new extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (EPDM) roofing system, repairs to the existing roofing structure, attachment of metal flashing, and the installation of fall protection railing and lifelines. We removed and installed ten (10) split system condensing units, roof drains, roof leader piping, and a new lighting protection system. The new roofing involved the replacement of five (5) separate rooftops—totaling 5,132 square feet; minor roof repairs were performed on an additional five (5) roof areas, and over 1,000 linear feet of metal flashing work. Westerly demolished the existing EPDM roof and replaced it with a new EPDM roofing system. Work was performed on five differing roof levels. Due to the nature of work performed by the building occupants, the client requested that inside-building-work be performed during the weekdays and outside-building-work be performed on the weekends. The demolition phase was crucial, as inside-building-work required facility escort-access to the work area.
The existing modified-bitumen roofing system was removed, and the new adhered EPDM roofing system was installed with new metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts. Repairs were performed to the existing seams throughout five (5) rooftop levels. Metal flashings were re-caulked and five (5) HVAC units were disconnected. New roof curbs were installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof. The existing roof surfaces had new walkway pads installed to service the roof and rooftop mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment. New cast iron stormwater drain piping with roof drains were installed throughout the new roof areas. The existing facility lacked parapet walls, at all roof levels, and we installed new metal wall-mounted ladders to access the 10 different roof levels. Westerly installed a structural steel fall protection system with tie-downs and lifeline consisting of 37 steel posts attached to the building structures. Steel plates were bolted on the various walls or deck levels with safety-D hooks. Safety railings were installed around mechanical equipment at unsecure roof levels. A new lightning protection system was installed on all roof perimeters. Eight (8) ground rods were installed that terminated at the end of each vertical lightning protection conductor. The conductors were attached to the side of the building and painted to match the existing brick façade and installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof.

Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Design-Bid-Build; Exterior Renovation; Roofing; Demolition
Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.

Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.

This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot.

This project consisted of the removal of the existing roofing system, the installation of a new extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (EPDM) roofing system, repairs to the existing roofing structure, attachment of metal flashing, and the installation of fall protection railing and lifelines. We removed and installed ten (10) split system condensing units, roof drains, roof leader piping, and a new lighting protection system. The new roofing involved the replacement of five (5) separate rooftops—totaling 5,132 square feet; minor roof repairs were performed on an additional five (5) roof areas, and over 1,000 linear feet of metal flashing work. Westerly demolished the existing EPDM roof and replaced it with a new EPDM roofing system. Work was performed on five differing roof levels. Due to the nature of work performed by the building occupants, the client requested that inside-building-work be performed during the weekdays and outside-building-work be performed on the weekends. The demolition phase was crucial, as inside-building-work required facility escort-access to the work area.
The existing modified-bitumen roofing system was removed, and the new adhered EPDM roofing system was installed with new metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts. Repairs were performed to the existing seams throughout five (5) rooftop levels. Metal flashings were re-caulked and five (5) HVAC units were disconnected. New roof curbs were installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof. The existing roof surfaces had new walkway pads installed to service the roof and rooftop mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment. New cast iron stormwater drain piping with roof drains were installed throughout the new roof areas. The existing facility lacked parapet walls, at all roof levels, and we installed new metal wall-mounted ladders to access the 10 different roof levels. Westerly installed a structural steel fall protection system with tie-downs and lifeline consisting of 37 steel posts attached to the building structures. Steel plates were bolted on the various walls or deck levels with safety-D hooks. Safety railings were installed around mechanical equipment at unsecure roof levels.

Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Design-Bid-Build; Exterior Renovation; Roofing; Demolition
Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.

Westerly Enterprises, LLC was the prime contractor for this roof replacement project. This project consisted of the removal of the existing roofing system, the installation of a new extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (EPDM) roofing system, repairs to the existing roofing structure, attachment of metal flashing, and the installation of fall protection railing and lifelines. We removed and installed ten (10) split system condensing units, roof drains, roof leader piping, and a new lighting protection system. The new roofing involved the replacement of five (5) separate rooftops—totaling 5,132 square feet; minor roof repairs were performed on an additional five (5) roof areas, and over 1,000 linear feet of metal flashing work. Westerly demolished the existing EPDM roof and replaced it with a new EPDM roofing system. Work was performed on five differing roof levels. Due to the nature of work performed by the building occupants, the client requested that inside-building-work be performed during the weekdays and outside-building-work be performed on the weekends. The demolition phase was crucial, as inside-building-work required facility escort-access to the work area.
The existing modified-bitumen roofing system was removed, and the new adhered EPDM roofing system was installed with new metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts. Repairs were performed to the existing seams throughout five (5) rooftop levels. Metal flashings were re-caulked and five (5) HVAC units were disconnected. New roof curbs were installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof. The existing roof surfaces had new walkway pads installed to service the roof and rooftop mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment. New cast iron stormwater drain piping with roof drains were installed throughout the new roof areas. The existing facility lacked parapet walls, at all roof levels, and we installed new metal wall-mounted ladders to access the 10 different roof levels. Westerly installed a structural steel fall protection system with tie-downs and lifeline consisting of 37 steel posts attached to the building structures. Steel plates were bolted on the various walls or deck levels with safety-D hooks. Safety railings were installed around mechanical equipment at unsecure roof levels. A new lightning protection system was installed on all roof perimeters. Eight (8) ground rods were installed that terminated at the end of each vertical lightning protection conductor. The conductors were attached to the side of the building and painted to match the existing brick façade and installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof.

Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Design-Bid-Build; Exterior Renovation; Roofing; Demolition
Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.

Westerly Enterprises, LLC was the prime contractor for this roof replacement project. This project consisted of the removal of the existing roofing system, the installation of a new extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (EPDM) roofing system, repairs to the existing roofing structure, attachment of metal flashing, and the installation of fall protection railing and lifelines. We removed and installed ten (10) split system condensing units, roof drains, roof leader piping, and a new lighting protection system. The new roofing involved the replacement of five (5) separate rooftops—totaling 5,132 square feet; minor roof repairs were performed on an additional five (5) roof areas, and over 1,000 linear feet of metal flashing work. Westerly demolished the existing EPDM roof and replaced it with a new EPDM roofing system. Work was performed on five differing roof levels. Due to the nature of work performed by the building occupants, the client requested that inside-building-work be performed during the weekdays and outside-building-work be performed on the weekends. The demolition phase was crucial, as inside-building-work required facility escort-access to the work area.
The existing modified-bitumen roofing system was removed, and the new adhered EPDM roofing system was installed with new metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts. Repairs were performed to the existing seams throughout five (5) rooftop levels. Metal flashings were re-caulked and five (5) HVAC units were disconnected. New roof curbs were installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof. The existing roof surfaces had new walkway pads installed to service the roof and rooftop mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment. New cast iron stormwater drain piping with roof drains were installed throughout the new roof areas. The existing facility lacked parapet walls, at all roof levels, and we installed new metal wall-mounted ladders to access the 10 different roof levels. Westerly installed a structural steel fall protection system with tie-downs and lifeline consisting of 37 steel posts attached to the building structures. Steel plates were bolted on the various walls or deck levels with safety-D hooks. Safety railings were installed around mechanical equipment at unsecure roof levels. A new lightning protection system was installed on all roof perimeters. Eight (8) ground rods were installed that terminated at the end of each vertical lightning protection conductor. The conductors were attached to the side of the building and painted to match the existing brick façade and installed beneath each unit and flash into the roof.

Expertise Highlights & Project Features: Design-Bid-Build; Exterior Renovation; Roofing; Demolition
Westerly removed and replaced a new and improved roof for Building 60, at the Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. This was a design-bid-build roofing project showcasing our demolition and exterior renovation skills. Westerly provided a full comparison takeoff to the owner with the advantages and disadvantages of both cold applied and spray foam application of the roof. After determining the Spray Foam was a system better suited for dry climates, we agreed to use the cold applied roofing system, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Two-Ply Roofing. Westerly was able to convey that the SBS is a strong, resilient, asphalt-modified bitumen membrane containing a core of non-woven polyester mat coated with durable SBS modified asphalt and a ceramic granule surface designed for hot mop and cold adhesive applications.. At the start of this project, Westerly developed a strategy to complete the removal and replacement of the new roof for Building 60, by section and elevation. Westerly performed several safety measures prior to beginning the project: by utilizing parapet clamps with wood railings along the perimeter of the roof for fall protection, tight scheduling with the roofing subcontractor was established to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks at the end of each work shift. Before mobilization, Westerly cleared out steel debris stationed at our contractor’s laydown area. Westerly developed a strategy to reinstall the roof, including mapping out how the project could be finished. We replaced the south (approximately 80 feet by 130 feet) and north sections housing the rooftop chillers, approximately 135‐foot by 100‐foot. The project was split into two sections: the higher roof of 10,087 square feet (south elevation) and the lower roof of 13,049 square feet (north elevation). Westerly used a fork lift to place materials on the north roof. We used a crane to raise and lower materials for the south roof, which required a crane plan, crane inspection, and NAVFAC inspection. We removed the existing built‐up 2‐ply asphalt roof system and replaced it with 3‐ply Styrene‐Butadiene‐Styrene (SBS) with cap sheet system down to the roof deck. Westerly applied numerical values in squares for the portions of the roof to be demolished and reinstalled the same day. Mechanical roof piping was raised and re-supported during new roof installation. perform daily inspections in the mornings to identify any leaks and ensure water tightness. Weather checks were also performed to indicate days when a 30% chance of rain or snow would occur. On these weather days, no installation was performed. Westerly also performed these checks prior to starting the next section of roof installation. While working on Building 60’s roof, Westerly identified an existing wooden staircase that failed to meet code requirements. Once the assignment was complete, Westerly demolished the fragile stairs and constructed a new code compliant flight of stairs, at no additional cost to the client.
