| Overview |
| |
| Faced
with a large project scope, a tight deadline, and a major
hurricane, this project was completed on time. The 300+ foot
building required a FM 1-90 grade, aesthetically pleasing
roof. There is 2 million SQFT of waterproofed interior space
including a theater and a convention center. Additionally,
special building-wide expansion joints were required to allow
3-D movement between the barge-based and land-based parts
of the structure. The barge-based portion of the building
is capped with a foundation decking that incorporates six
layers of water proofing and houses utility components. Hurricane
George struck the area when the roofing was 80% complete.
IRS was able to ramp up the work crews to meet the deadline
in spite of damages, while other projects in the area suffered
extreme delays.

| Roofing |
|
|
|
The building complex has over 300,000 square feet of roofing.
The roofing uses tapered lightweight concrete and an SBS Modified
Roofing System consisting of Siplast Paradien 20 Base hot
applied and a Siplast Paradien 30 Cap-sheet cold applied.
In between, a Siplast Paradien 20 Base was cold applied after
damage was sustained from flying debris from Hurricane George.
|
| Waterproofing |
| |
| There
are major waterproofing jobs completed in the interior as
well as on the exterior. The 45,000 SQFT pool and planter
area is constructed over a four-foot deep depressed slab directly
over the casino gaming area. The upper and lower slab received
six layers of waterproofing components, which had to be kept
watertight through the tremendous construction effort including
restaurants, bath rooms, pool equipment rooms, a 6500 SQFT
swimming pool, a hot tub, a conservatory, multiple planters,
and the 250,000 SQFT pool deck. Embedded in the waterproof
decking are water channels, drink lines, electrical conduits,
plumbing, and the pool.

| Special
Considerations |
| |
| After
Hurricane George struck, there was a severe labor shortage
and, although the 80% complete roof stood up to 170 MPH winds,
flying construction debris damaged 250,000 SQFT of roofing
membrane. Meeting the opening date was critical since every
day the resort was not open meant significant losses and a
launch date was planned. IRS had men on the job the very next
day, and crews were added to meet the accelerated schedule.
Extra crews worked among others scrambling to cleanup, repair,
and complete the job and the Beau Rivage opened on its target
date.
