Project Summary:
The manufacturing building owned by S. I. Palmetto in Palmetto, Florida, is the largest air conditioned manufacturing site in the State of Florida. The Low Bay roof leaked since the time it was constructed. The roof system was a structural panel which was placed directly over framing, thus complicating the roof removal. In order to keep the building in operation during the reroofing process, a system was devised to allow for placing the new metal standing seam roof over the existing roof using a retro fit framing system.

The panels were roll formed on the job site in one continuous piece from eave to ridge. The finished roof system provided a leak-free work environment for the first time in the building's history.
