Scope
InSite conducted an intensive envelope evaluation to determine areas of masonry repair, repointing, and roof replacement. With the extreme height and site constraints, repairs were prioritized through the lens of scaffolding access, a huge cost implication to the repairs. A pre-design report, full design services, and enhanced construction administration are being provided for this project.
Solution
The final project will provide a new slate roof replacement where it once historically occurred at the steep slope roofs.
Replacement skylights will be provided at their historic locations.
The towers and turrets will have new roof replacements of more durable modified bitumen and PMMA flashings. The crenel caps will be replaced in a galvanized metal to replicate their historic appearance. The ongoing evaluations of the masonry and repointing are occurring to provide the best value and prioritization of the budget.
