Flynn Boise (formerly Cobra BEC) is working on a roofing project for Boise State University (BSU). This project started in November last year and is expected to completed in November this year.
Working under Hoffman Construction, Flynn is responsible for 60,000 sq. ft. across seven different roof levels. There are also concrete and steel roof decks. The roof system consists of a Johns Manville 80mil TPO adhered and RhinoBond attached systems. It comes with a 30 year manufacturer’s warranty.
The crew installed JM SA Vapor Barrier 2-layers of Polyiso insulation with tapered ½” sloped crickets and 2” XCI wall insulation with a Knight Wall girt system.
The metal panel system is by Centria and includes IW-series 10, 20 and 30 aluminum panels installed vertically and horizontally; Centria CS-260 concept series G90 panels. We also have aluminum perforated screen wall panels at the two mechanical areas and around the service yard. The wall panels come in 2 colors, custom painted to match the composite metal panels. The crew is also installing custom color composite metal panels by MDSI at the vestibule entrance and several accent areas around the building.
The biggest challenge our crew faced was that the IW-series panels must be installed following the design team’s architectural layout pattern using all three profiles including intermittent custom reveal joints to align with brick, window and coping cap joints.
In addition, the job site is a non-stored material site (no ground storage) so all material deliveries must be sequenced properly. However, we were able to use some of the roof areas for staging which helped.
Our crew worked through all types of weather including rain, snow and 100 degree (37 degree Celsius) heat.
A big thank you to foreman Mike Morris, Cory Holden, Joe Evje, Iain Chalmers and Matt Meyers for their continuing dedication.
