CHALLENGE

A municipal organization needed a better understanding of roof conditions across multiple facilities before making future maintenance, repair, and capital planning decisions. The facilities included multiple types of roof systems of varying age and condition, making it difficult to prioritize maintenance activities and capital planning resources.

ASSESSMENT APPROACH

• ~200K SQ FT across 19 roof sections assessed
• Daytime RGB documentation
• Nighttime thermal assessment
• Independent analysis

KEY FINDINGS

• Roof condition varied considerably across the assessed roof sections.
• Multiple areas exhibited thermal anomalies commonly associated with elevated moisture content within the roofing systems.
• Several areas warranted additional investigation and verification by qualified roofing professionals.
• Other roof sections exhibited limited thermal activity and comparatively fewer areas of concern.

VALUE DELIVERED

• Independent perspective regarding roof condition.
• Additional objective information supporting maintenance planning.
• Identification of areas warranting further investigation.
• Better support for budgeting and capital planning discussions.

WHY IT MATTERS

Maintenance and capital planning decisions are only as good as the information available. Independent thermal assessments provide facility stakeholders with additional insight regarding roof condition before significant maintenance or replacement decisions are made, helping reduce uncertainty and prioritize resources with greater confidence.
