In 1974, dissatisfied with performance of traditional tar and gravel built-up roofing (BUR) systems, the Physical Plant Department began looking for viable roofing alternatives. The BUR roofs were constantly leaking and because of the nature of BUR, leak detection was virtually impossible. As the Physical Plant Department began soliciting information from various roofing sources and checking references, sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) roofs exhibited advantages that seemed to fit the criteria of the University...read more |

Navy Study |
| SUMMARY OF NCEL TECHNICAL NOTE N-1815 |
|
| "INVESTIGATION OF SPRAY-APPLIED POLYURETHANE
FOAM ROOFING SYSTEMS-II"
Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory
Port Hueneme, California
Sponsored by Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Conducted by: R.L. Alumbaugh, E.F. Humm, and John R. Keaton
July 1976- January 1986
Background: This study was initiated by the NCEL at the request of NAVFAC in a continuing effort to reduce maintenance and repair costs of the extensive roofing systems at Naval installations. This study was limited to Spayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) and Coating systems, and was intended to generate data that provides guidelines for coating systems to protect SPF materials used in the roof system. The principal...read more |
