Nevada Department of Agriculture, Sparks, Nev. (CASE STUDY)

by Jonathan McGaha | April 30, 2009 12:00 am

The new 49,200-square-foot (4,571-m2) Nevada Department of Agriculture

facilities in Sparks, Nev., will house offices and laboratories when it is

completed later this year. Designed by Collaborative Design Studies, Reno,

Nev., the new complex will also include 12,000 square feet (1,115 m2) of out

buildings, parking and access roads. The complex was designed after numerous

meetings with multiple user groups and state representatives who addressed the

detailed requirements for all space users. The main complex will ultimately

feature 41,000 square feet (3,809 m2) of Englert Series 2000 standing-seam

metal roofing guaranteed by a weathertightness warrantee requested by the state

of Nevada and the architect.

Englert’s new HT Underlayment is required with all its weathertightness warrantee projects. The HT Underlayment features a black, non-woven polyester topside designed for use as a metal underlayment. The self adhering product is 100 percent ultraviolet protected, heat reflective and slip resistant.

 

It also is good for 90 days of exposure to accommodate construction scheduling and weather delays. Englert HT Underlayment provides defense against costly ice dams and wind-driven rains, sleet and snow, particularly in the cold winter month of January when the highest levels of precipitation are reported in Sparks. Noorda Roofing, Las Vegas, installed the underlayment and standing-seam metal roof.
