Project Profile
Madison Square Garden
New York City, New York
| Challenge Replace the 30 yr. old, 80,000 sq.ft. main arena roof without interruption of the events schedule, which included the Republican National Convention. An additional requirement was to provide positive slope to eliminate an extensive ponding water condition that had become a significant structural loading issue for the cable-supported roof. |
 |
| Solution Remove all existing roofing, followed by the installation of an insulated Kemperol roofing system. Tapered insulation system incorporated four different tapers constructed into pie-shaped segments. Shop-fabricated insulation blocks exceeded 18” in insulation thickness. Kemperol membrane was provided with a gravel surfacing for aesthetics. |
