    Library Green Roof in Eau Claire, Wisconsin

    library green roof eau claireIn addition to the 26,000 sf TPO roof Quality Roofing recently completed some “green roofs” at L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The project featured 500 square feet of live plants, and paver patio on the 3rd floor level of the building.

    “It’s unique and different,” said Lucas Kramer, project manager. “There’s also no green thumb required as the plants are self-sustaining with their own irrigation system.”

    The project’s architect decided which plants to use and Quality Roofing’s team assembled the roof using 8” module trays. In addition to the live plants Quality Roofing also installed 2,800 square feet of 4” modules full of sedum mat. This was installed at location where windows overlooked roof areas.

    “Our teams are skilled in a variety of roofing materials, and green roofing is one area in which we’ve expanded in recent years,” said Kramer. “That being said, we provide on-the-job training for anyone willing to learn. It’s a great career and rewarding to work on projects of this significance.”

    “Portions of this project were new and others were re-roofing,” said David Peters, project manager. “The end design features a unique look in the wall panels, giving it a professional yet stylish look.”

    Crews enjoyed working outside on this project and seeing the one-of-a-kind design come together.

  • Regular Equipment Inspections Important for Safety

    Regular Equipment Inspections Important for Safety

    regular equipment inspectionsSafety is key at Quality Roofing, and that includes equipment inspection and maintenance. Though supervisors do a visual check every day on a job site, cranes and other heavy equipment undergo more in-depth inspection on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.

    “Weekly, we do a visual inspection to make sure everything is operating the way it’s supposed to be,” said Kyle Tisdell. “We check fluids, make sure nothing is broken, etc…”

    Monthly, Tisdell sets up the cranes and checks every accessible part – inspecting cables for fraying and greasing the entire machine.

    “It’s a more in-depth inspection than just looking at it,” he said. “I set up everything and take a look at anything I can get my hands on. I go through the whole chassis, grease it top to bottom. The cover is off so we can spot any leaks. I want to catch a problem here before it gets to a job site. That saves everyone time.”

    Annually, cranes are inspected in-depth by a third party through the Wisconsin DOT. This involves a complete inspection of all parts, a weighing, and more.

    Not only are safety checks recommended by the manufacturer (and annual inspections required by law), Quality Roofing conducts regular inspections as a means to prevent injuries and improve the equipment’s longevity.

    “If we have something break and it causes an accident, we’re liable. And of course, we don’t want anyone to get hurt,” said Tisdell. “The other aspect is the longevity of the equipment. If we keep up on the maintenance, parts are less likely to break. If we keep it greased and fixed before it becomes a major problem, the machines lasts longer.”
