TPO Roof - NO Touch Electric Ground Wire Installation

TPO Roof - NO Touch Electric Ground Wire Installation

A prototype CAD design has been created with SketchUp and uploaded as a Free Share / Open Source Design in the 3D warehouse

GAF TPO EverGuard 'strips" were fashioned around the Ground Wire attached to the rooftop communication equipment (Cable, Satellite, and Internet Antennas).  To keep the wire from rubbing holes in the roofing when the wind blows or from rain storms.  TPO strips (1in by 5in) were modified and welded to the existing TPO Roof surface to hold the Ground Wire 1 inch off the roof.  The modified NO Touch Electric Ground Wire attachments were placed 12 to 16 inches apart.

Ground Wire is held off the roof 1 inch with a 1in x 5in EverGuard TPO Strip-The TPO Roof will always be protected from the Ground Wire Rubbing a future hole in the Roof.

• I've found that making a simple and quick graphic image to use as a visual tool to explain a building system repair to a client is easier when I provide a "non technical" image of the proposed work to be done.
• Why GAF EverGuard® TPO
• Outperforms standard TPO in heat aging and UV tests—the best predictors of TPO performance
  - Independent TPO Study proves EverGuard® TPO 60 mil Membrane is the best standard TPO in accelerated aging. View the key findings and full study here.
  - After accelerated heat aging at 275°F (135°C) for 112 days, EverGuard® TPO showed no cracking—while every one of the competitors’ samples had failed!
  - UV testing—Greater than 2.5 times the industry standard (ASTM D6878 weather resistance test)
• Guarantees are available up to 25 years when using EverGuard® TPO 60 mil Membrane.*
• Easier to install due to:
  - Large welding window
  - Most complete line of accessories
  - 10' (3.05 m) wide sheets

DESCRIPTION STRUCTODEK HD is not only an integral roofing system component; it also makes roofing easier with physical properties that generate structural rigidity and dimensional stability. The wood fiberboard composition of STRUCTODEK HD possesses natural bonding qualities, resulting in superior adhesion capabilities. Adhesive tightly grasps the fibers of STRUCTODEK HD without causing excess absorption, providing a solid and secure roof system which bonds very well with many asphalt, coal tar, and cold-process adhesive products. The lightweight nature of STRUCTODEK HD is better than heavier alternatives and will keep the roof load below the specified maximum weight. Source

Kevin at Travis Roofing Supply was a great help in outlining the proper materials and needed prep to ensure the TPO roofing will meet and exceed the expectations of the Investment Property Owner plus the 25 year product guarranty.
