Posted

Located 20 minutes from downtown San Antonio, the JW Marriott
San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa features 265,000 square
feet of meeting and event space, and more than 1,000 rooms. The
resort is also home to a 36-hole PGA Tour golf course, full-service
spa and 6 acres of heated pools, fountains, waterfalls, rivers and
poolside lounges.
The project's 450,000-square-foot
roofing system includes 250,000 square feet of 24-gauge Firestone
UNA-CLAD UC-14 roofing panels in standard Champagne Metallic PVDF
paint finish on the hotel, spa and golf clubhouse, and 200,000
square feet of 60-mil fully adhered Firestone UltraPly TPO on the
conference center, both from Firestone Building Products Co.,
Indianapolis. Using cutting-edge techniques, the roofing contractor
was able to form the Firestone metal panels in their architectural
sheet metal shop, as well as in the field. The ability to
field-form the metal was especially useful on the golf clubhouse
roof where tapered panels were specified.
While the sheer size of the building presented some challenges,
the roofing contractor's experience helped make the roof
installation process as smooth as possible. The company managed the
delivery of the materials and coordinated schedules with the other
trades to make the entire process seamless. The contractor also
achieved the safety goal on the project, which included zero lost
time injuries and a zero lost time injury rate.
The $4.2 million project took about a year to complete and was
the largest new construction project in San Antonio at the time.
HKS Inc., Dallas, was the architect, and A.D. Willis Co. Inc.,
Austin, Texas, was the roofing contractor.
