Accede Construction: Fire Damage Repair...

At the Dr.’s office fire damage repair we are making rapid progress. Now that the attic is framed we can install the roof decking and dry in the building. We are using 7/16” OSB to deck the roof surface. Once the decking is in place and renailed we will dry it in with felt paper underlayment. The roof install will be next on the docket. We will be applying 30 year laminated dimensional shingles and tying them into the undamaged portions of the remaining roof.

The Burn Repair Continued...

This week, with the new monolithic support beams in place, we began framing the attic. Some of the rafters we installed were over 30’ in length. We hoisted the new rafters into place and bolted them into place. The overall area that we are framing is 4,500 square feet. Once the rafters are in place and properly supported we will apply the roof decking substrate.

Commercial Project/Burn Repair

Today our demolition crews used the services of a 10,000 pound capacity skytrak to remove the burned load beams from our fire damage Dr.’s office repair. Our challenge has been to remove these extremely heavy and tied-in supports without harming the other undamaged portions of this building. Our crews cut the beams and unbolted them from their support gussets. In several cases we were forced to detach the steel gussets with a cutting torch. We lifted the cut potions of the beams out and down to a cleared area on the structure floor. Those cut portions were then systematically carted to trash bins out at the building’s perimeter. Our next challenge – lifting the new, whole beams into place over the entire building’s roof and into their proper place. We will weld new steel gussets into place and employ the services of a crane to lift our new beams in their entirety.
