Guinness Tower, Vancouver

Scope: A newly applied waterproofing membrane needed full weather protection from the elements.

Challenges

There was no margin for error, any precipitation on the roofing membrane would have adverse effects on the protective capabilities of the coating material and result in it to be redone. The project had to be completed without schedule delays.

Actions

A lean to roof (mono pitch) was erected running from the existing building out to the sidewalk. It was supported using a series of scaffolding towers, tied together using various supporting 750 beams. Weather protective sheeting was used to cover the roof structure and ensure it was rain proof.
