Keep The Racks Loaded
A warehouse roof job fails commercially if it forces inventory moves or dock downtime. Our protocol is built so neither has to happen.
The industrial method (developed through the documented project roster) treats the shed as a production line: fixed bays, fixed crews, daily verification. Nothing is signed as done until water-tightness is demonstrated; nothing is paid for based on a narrative (see the company overview for the paper-trail discipline behind this).
The Live-Site Protocol
- Survey quantifies laps, gutters, skylights, fastener conditions — output: bay map with failure density. (See detection process.)
- Phasing plan agreed with your operations team: bays sequence, catchment plan, access windows, quarantine of pick paths.
- Bay isolation: temporary catchment installed upstream of the active bay; aisles protected by walk covers where debris could drop.
- Works: mechanical fastening re-fix, EPDM lap sealing (method detail), gutter re-slope/re-lining (method detail), skylight flanks (method detail).
- Bay water-tightness demonstrated + photographed before the next bay opens. Daily sign-off with your gate keeper / warehouse manager.
- Handover: full file — datasheets, annotated photos, warranty certificate (5-year, extendable to 10 years).
Warehouse FAQs
Yes — that is the entire design of the method below. Bays are treated in sequence, temporary catchment bridges the untreated sections, and loading/aisles stay available with spotters. Documented examples: Kuehne Nagel DWC, NFC Middle East.
End laps and gutters, almost always — exactly the failure modes detailed on the lap-sealing page and the gutter page. Skylight frames follow close behind: skylight leaks.
A standard bay's mechanical + lap/gutter scope is typically 1-2 crew-days, then its water-tightness sign-off — figure the program by bays/week after the survey quantifies laps and failures.
No — works ride the existing aisles with spotter separation. Where a bay must intrude (skylight drop, debris exclusion), your operations team gets 24h notice to re-plan pick paths.
Yes — unbundle into phases with independent sign-offs per phase and quoted fixed rates per phase. See the industrial references under projects.
Standard documented 5-year warranty on the waterproofing scope — same handover file: datasheets, photos, test records, signed off daily.
