    THE MOTOR CITY<\/h3>

    What was once Wonder Bread and Continental Bakeries is now the site of Motor City Casino.\u00a0 As the story goes, the existing facilities were not supposed to be a permanent home for Motor City, rather just a stop-gap until the Detroit Michigan river front was developed and a new structure could be built.\u00a0 Unfortunately or fortunately plans change, and the bakeries of old became the permanent residence for the casino.\u00a0 As a result of this decision considerable renovation and expansion was required in order for the casino to realize its potential.\u00a0 From 2006, when the first roof improvements were made, until the summer of 2008, when all new buildings were complete, Royal Roofing Company was there installing the roof.<\/p>

    From Royal Roofing\u2019s perspective the Motor City Casino roofing project was a challenging job based on the design elements and complexity of all new buildings involved.\u00a0 Complexities caused by design changes that required roof related details to be reconfigured daily throughout the project, in which had to approved by all parties involved; an on-site architect, owner representatives, and roof-system manufacture to name a few.\u00a0 Furthermore, because the casino had to be in operation 24-hours a day seven days a week during the entire construction process multiple temporary roofing processes had to be staged to ensure the building is moisture free.\u00a0 With that being said, the two plus years of work at the casino have been a wonderful experience and has proven to be an excellent demonstration of our versatility.<\/p>

    As mentioned above, the Motor City Casino construction effort consisted of numerous additions to its existing facilities, and the construction of new structures and bridges; in which links all buildings.\u00a0 Having been involved since the beginning, the construction management team employed by Motor City was confident in awarding Royal Roof Company the bulk of this roofing work.\u00a0 The following is a list that highlights the new construction and the roof work that was completed by Royal:<\/p>

    • Casino \u2013 Addition
      • Adjacent to the original casino an addition was built to expand the current operation.\u00a0 From a roof perspective it was almost as if a new building was built to stand with the older version.\u00a0 Therefore, significant roof tie-in was required in order to link the new and old structures.\u00a0 This entailed the construction of parapet walls to adjoin the existing gravel BUR system with the new Siplast Modified System.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
      • Valet Building Addition
        • To better tie-in to the new hotel, a new addition was added to assist with parking efforts.\u00a0 A coal-tar pitch roof system was installed.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
        • Parking Deck Stairway Towers
          • GAF (Mechanically Fastened) PVC System<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
          • Hotel
            • This is an eighteen floor multi-tiered facility that requires roofing on the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth floors.\u00a0 In addition, a separate spa, elevator tower, mechanical mezzanine, and loading-dock areas all of which require roofing.
              • The seventeenth floor, eighteenth floor, and elevator tower roofs called for a GAF PVC Roof System<\/li>
              • \u00a0Roof level sixteen and the Mechanical Mezzanine required a Siplast Torch-down System; with pavers.<\/li>
              • The Spa and Loading Dock area both called for a Siplast Granulated Roof System.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li>
              • Events Building
                • The Events Building originally was the Continental Bakery facility.\u00a0 Through renovation an addition was built to expand for shows and concerts.\u00a0 The original structure, when updated, had an EPDM Rubber system installed.\u00a0 When the addition was a built it was roofed with a Granulated Siplast and tied-in to the original facility.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
                • Bridges
                  • For customer convenience all buildings are adjoined, at a common floor, via a series of enclosed bridges.\u00a0 All of which required a GAF Mechanically Attached PVC roof; except one of the three which has an EPDM Rubber System.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

                    As can be seen in the collage of photos this project is a series of roof sections that contained multiple challenges.\u00a0 Through detailed project planning, management execution, and Royal Roofing man-power the job was completed as requested.<\/p>

                    The Motor City Casino roof project, a job that required a roofing company that is approved by numerous manufacturers and has the experience to install a range of roof systems, on a large scale, and perform under intense visibility; that company is Royal Roofing.<\/p> <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
