Project Name: Castilleja School – Gymnasium and Fitness Center
Location: Palo Alto, CA
Project Type: New Construction
Year Completed: 2007
Size: 17,391 sq. ft.
 |
This project received the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) National Industry Excellence Award in 2007.
Challenge: 1.Complete project during short summer vacation period. 2.Gymnasium ceiling was left exposed requiring that no mechanical fasteners could penetrate the roof deck and be visible from below. 3.Several lower roof levels were constructed “dead flat” requiring that slope to drain be achieved with CCC’s SpraySlope™ slope to drain SPF roof system
Solution: 1)All foaming completed before school started and coating application phased around first days of school year. 2)Insulation requirement for project was R-22. To achieve this, high-density polyisocyanurate boardstock was secured to the top of the fluted metal deck using Dow Chemical Insta-Stick Adhesive instead of mechanical fasteners. Then two 1 inch passes of SPF were installed over the boardstock. 3)On the “dead flat” roof areas tapered passes of SPF were installed to form slope to drain at ¼ inch per foot. At its thickest point the SPF is 8 inches thick. CCC provided the insulation, slope to drain system and roof membrane within its scope of work. Having three separate scopes of work performed by one trade saved time and money for the client.
Project Name: Gilead Sciences
Location: Foster City, CA
Project Type: New Construction
Year Completed: 2007

Challenge: Provide a high performance insulating roof system for a highly leak sensitive client on a building with literally hundreds of roof deck penetrations.
Solution: Install (3) one inch thick passes of SPF over a properly prepared and primed concrete deck. The unique self-flashing capabilities of SPF were utilized to form cones and cants around hundreds of roof penetrations. High performance GE Silicone coating system and 3M ceramic granules were installed to protect the foam from UV radiation and roof traffic. This roof was designed to protect this building and its contents for the life of the building.
Project Name: Mathis Brothers Furniture
Location: Ontario, CA
Project Type: New Construction Big Box Store
Year Completed: 2007
Size: 292,372 sq. ft.
 |
Challenge: Waterproof a large building in an area with high winds and provide an energy efficient “Cool Roof” coating system on a rapid schedule to meet general contractor’s schedule
Solution: CCC mobilized two crews, two foam rigs, and a dedicated rigid insulation board installation crew. In open areas of the roof CCC was able to install the rigid insulation board and sprayed polyurethane foam at a rate of 20,000 sq. ft. per day. The project was finished ahead of schedule.
The roof system had to be installed to meet Factory Mutual’s 1-90 Wind Uplift Rating due to the high winds common in the Ontario Area. SPF roofs offer the best wind uplift performance of any commercial roof system.
The roof system provides R30 insulation over the showroom and office and R19 insulation over the warehouse. SPF roof system was coated with bright white highly reflective coating to meet “Cool Roof” requirements.
Quote from the General Contractor:
“Central Coating’s on-site crew size was more than adequate to perform the task at hand and was able to adjust to varying conditions seamlessly. You have my recommendation without reservation.”

Project Name: City Heights at Pellier Park
Location: San Jose, CA
Project Type: New Construction High Rise Luxury Residential Tower
Year Completed: 2006
Size: 12,510 sq. ft.
 |
Challenge: Install high performance roof system over (4) $2 million penthouse units located on top two floors of the building. Cost of pumping 400 cubic yards of concrete to the 14th floor to create slope to drain was prohibitive.
Solution: SPF materials were metered and preheated in foam rig trailer located on ground and then pumped through heated hoses to the 14th floor roof deck. Tapered lifts of SPF were installed over properly prepared and primed concrete deck to create slope to drain at ¼ inch per foot. The weight and expense of pumping 400 cubic yards of concrete up to the 14th floor was eliminated. SPF provided slope to drain, R30 insulation and a waterproof membrane.
Project Name: Orchard Apartments
Location: Citrus Heights (Sacramento area), CA
Project Type: Reroof large apartment complex consisting of 17 buildings
Year Completed: 2006
Size: 56,388 sq, ft,
Challenge: Re-roof all 17 buildings of a large apartment complex as one project. The owner was fed up with the persistent roof leaks. CCC was hired to do the job right.
Solution: CCC followed a phased approach completing 4 buildings from each set up location. The roof added R-9 of insulation and upgraded the buildings with Cool Roof technology. Due to the shape of the buildings the preparation and sheet metal details were very complicated. CCC replaced over one and a half miles of edge flashing and 198 scuppers with new downspouts. The project was completed on schedule and will provide decades of leak free performance.
Project Name: Synaptics
Location: Santa Clara, CA
Project Type: Re-roof
Year Completed: 2006
Size: 33,990 sq. ft
 |
Challenge: Replace an aging tar and gravel style built up roof without disrupting the operations of a high-tech client. In addition to the roof leaks, the large amount of duct work present on the roof was also the source of water leaks and air leaks. The large HVAC system including several hundred linear feet of chilled water supply & return piping made for a challenging installation.
Solution: Preparing this roof for foaming involved removing the surface gravel using a high powered wet vacuum. This provided an excellent substrate for the new roof without the expense and inconvenience of a tear-off. CCC installed 1-1/2 inches of SPF over the roof and also foamed several thousand square feet of ductwork. The duct foaming provides a huge increase in energy efficiency by stopping air leaks and adding insulation to the ducts. CCC used its proven flashing and preparation techniques around the HVAC units and piping. On this project CCC once again proved its ability to provide a high quality roof on an occupied facility.
Project Name: Plantronics
Location: Santa Cruz, CA
Project Type: Reroof building and install and seal 860 photovoltaic(PV)
solar panel support stanchions
Year Completed: 2005
Size: 61,960 sq. ft.
This project received the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) National Industry Excellence Award in 2005.
Challenge: Install a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system on roof of a building where an engineer had determined that the roof”s loading capacity was at its limit and no additional weight could be added.
Solution: The existing built up roof (BUR) was torn off and replaced with a light weight SPF roof system resulting in roof loading reduction of approximately 120,000 lbs. The resulting reduction in roof load allowed for installation of a 267 kW PV system.

Challenge: Client wanted to eliminate roof leaks and take advantage of Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)’s cool roof energy rebate program. Client had multiple buildings in a campus setting.
Solution: In phase I CCC replaced leaking skylights which were not CAL-OSHA compliant, filled deflected areas where ponding water existed and installed a new energy efficient “Cool Roof” roofing system with bright white reflective coating and granules. Client received a $0.20/sq. ft. rebate from SMUD, Phase I was so successful that CCC was brought back to do three additional office buildings.
Project Name: US Cold Storage
Location: Sacramento and Union City, CA
Project Type: Reroof two cold storage plants and upgrade vapor barrier
Year Completed: 2004
Size: 393,932 sq. ft
 |
Challenge: The existing asphalt roof had failed as a waterproof membrane and as a vapor barrier. Maintenance costs were escalating and valuable electricity was being wasted.
Solution: After the SPF roof and vapor barrier coating system was installed, the frost and ice inside the building has dissipated (evaporated). A review of electricity bills from before and after installing the SPF roof and vapor barrier on the Union City project showed a savings of $8,000 per month. The entire cost of the project will be recovered in approximately seven years.
