DALLAS, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The North Texas Roofing Contractors Association (NTRCA) annually honors roofing contractors that have made a significant contribution to the roofing industry. On February 3rd Castro Roofing of Texas, Inc. received one of three 2006 Golden Hammer Awards given out at their 7th Annual Awards Banquet in the commercial roofing category for its work on the Texas Instruments RFAB Building, located at 300 West Renner, Richardson, Texas. This new construction project entailed a combined 490,825 sq. ft. of PVC roofing system and a multi-ply Modified Bitumen Membrane roofing system. "The extreme complexity of high tech chip manufacturing made this roofing project just as complex," stated Rodolfo (Rudy) Rodriguez, President of Castro Roofing of Texas, "It required extremely close cooperation of the architects at PageSutherlandPage, general contractor Austin Commercial, and multiple other trades." Maintaining a dust-free environment is critical to the manufacture of high tech chips so ice and water shield was installed at all side, end laps and perimeter of the metal deck prior to the roofing system installation. "Any small, less than perfect aspect of this roofing installation could spell big trouble down the road for TI quality control," cited Mr. Rodriquez, "It sometimes seemed like there were as many inspectors as installers up there." With three layers of insulation and a fully adhered PVC membrane over a metal deck that had to be perfectly placed over a 490,000+ square foot roof, plenty could go wrong. "By only focusing on the client, Texas Instruments, we were able to meet their needs, finish on time and on budget. The whole team: client, architect, and client representatives, were satisfied with all phases of our work," concluded Mr. Rodriguez. Castro Roofing of Texas, Inc.
