The CUNA Mutual Group pre-engineered metal building airplane hangar at Madison’s Truax Field experienced leak issues since construction.
BEPG was retained by CUNA Mutual Group to complete an initial assessment, design/bidding document development, bidding services, and construction administration.
Building modifications included installation of a new single-ply roofing system overlaid over the existing standing seam roofing system, metal wall panel and related flashing modifications, HVAC penetration flashing modifications, and new gutters.
The single-ply overlay system required specific design and engineering, given the airport’s high wind exposure and the fact that the building became partially enclosed and subject to intense roofing uplift pressures anytime the hangar door was opened.
