High-Safety Winter Roof Replacement at 20 Federal Place

TEMA won the bid to replace the failing built-up roof on the landmark 20 Federal Building. The crew completed the full tear-off during northeast Ohio winter months with advanced fall-protection and crane safety measures.

The challenge

Years of water infiltration through a BUR system past its life expectancy were causing physical plant problems inside the building.

The project had to be completed in the middle of winter, on a tall building in the heart of downtown, where job safety was the top priority.

The TEMA solution

After the City selected Strollo Architects to write specifications, TEMA was awarded the roofing bid. TEMA handled account management, site visits, material and equipment ordering, and detailed safety planning.

The crew completed a full tear-off and installed a 60 mil EPDM system, using crane lifts and high-safety procedures for the building height and location.

The result

The full re-roof was completed in about five weeks during winter, with no safety incidents.
