Challenge
Central Coating’s spray foam roofing system was chosen for what is essentially the world’s largest battery, located in Moss Landing, California after other re-roofing solutions were considered and rejected. One of the main challenges of this project was the presence of an old tar and gravel roof that contained asbestos. This meant that other roofing solutions would require asbestos abatement to take place before a new roof could be installed, leading to added costs, time, and disruption to the building’s staff and possible exposure to the elements for the highly sensitive equipment inside. In addition, the need for a seamless roofing system that could withstand the local weather conditions presented additional challenges.
Solution
In the end, Central Coating’s spray foam roofing system was the perfect solution. Once any loose gravel was removed, our spray foam roofing system was installed directly over the existing roof, eliminating the need for asbestos abatement, and greatly reducing project costs and time. Our roofing system was also installed as a seamless roof over the entire facility, ensuring that it could withstand even the worst local weather conditions. The end result was a seamless, energy-efficient, and cost-effective roofing system that provided the world’s largest battery with superior protection against the elements.
