Background 

The Kaw Water Treatment Plant Chemical and Filter Building was originally constructed in 1916 and was expanded in 1954. Most recently the building has had exterior brick rehabilitation completed in 2008 and 2009, and the roof on the 1916 maintenance shop area was replaced in 2010. The adjoining filter and office area roof is a built-up, gravel ballasted roof which has been repaired several times over the last few years, and has exceeded its useful life. There roof is exhibiting large blisters in a number of areas, and has a leak in the northeast corner. The attached exhibit shows the areas described above.

Based on their successful completion of the 2010 roof replacement project, Walter P. Moore was engaged to provide design and construction phase engineering services for the replacement of the adjoining roof. The current roof project will utilize the same roof system and details as the previously completed project.
