ASPHALTIC ROOFING
CASE STUDY 1
InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta Hotel, Atlanta, GA
Architect: Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates Roofing & Waterproofing Consultant: Williamson & Associates
General Contractor: DPR Hardin Construction (formerly Hardin Construction) Contractor: Tip Top Roofers, Inc. — tiptoproofers.com
Building Owner: InterContinental Hotels Group
Job Size: Three buildings, approximately 150,000 square feet Completion Date: October 2003
New construction of this 4 ½-star flagship
hotel complex consisted of a 22-story/
422-guestroom tower, a two-story retail
building, and the largest ballroom
(12,000 square feet) in Atlanta, GA.
Unusual roof planes, visibility, durability,
and height restraints demanded special
applications for each building’s roof, including
special attention to the aesthetic value of the
retail building and barrel vault roofs.
EverGuard
®
TPO 60 mil Gray was selected
for the two barrel vault roofs housing the hotel
ballrooms, providing a smooth roof surface
with no penetrations. The gray color added
to the aesthetic value of the property. The
retail building, which houses a cafeteria,
retail shops, and the hotel kitchen, received a
GAFGLAS
®
BUR roof. There are various types
of equipment on this roof (air conditioning,
vents, etc.), and the redundancy of the
multiple plies provides for a watertight roof
while the crushed gravel makes it aesthetically
pleasing. And finally, a RUBEROID
®
Modified
Bitumen Roofing System was used on the
hotel tower to provide additional protection
from the servicing of various mechanical and
window-washing equipment on the roof.
