We are currently working on EA Sports Vancouver, EA’s largest and oldest studio which employs 1300 people and is home to the world’s largest video game test operation.
Our project consists of 53,700 sq. ft. of roofing: Approximately 33,700 sq. ft. of an inverted 2 Ply SBS system with various overburden and 20,000 sq. ft. of a 2 Ply SBS conventional roofing system.
The project has been difficult to coordinate as we needed to cater to the customer’s needs, which has included lots of night shifts of tear off and deliveries at all hours. There is around 20,000 sq. ft. of interior protection being installed while we are doing the demo of the old roof so that we do not damage any of the sensitive equipment with debris and dust. We are also installing several hundred linear feet of ALSAN RS membrane tying into an old skylight system which cannot be removed.
Foreman Kevin Gysbers and his crew have been doing a great job and appear to be over a month ahead of the original construction schedule, which is impressing the customer.
