Tinker Air Force Base - Case Study

Details
400,000 square foot structure
Four 90-feet high Quonset Hangers
Housed Airborne Warning and Control System (AWCS) Aircraft
Energy-efficient Spray Polyurethane Foam
Challenges
Gusty winds above 15 mph spraying limits
Keep over-spray from reaching AWCS Aircraft, vehicles and civilians
Steep 6:12 pitch renders roof unwalkable requires alternative application solution

Solutions
Implement Fall Protection Plan
Robotic equipment used for SPF and silicone application
300,000 pounds of Spray Polyurethane Foam
8,000 gallons of Silicone
Results
Energy-efficient roof system reduces utility costs
Roof system pays for itself within 10 years
20 to 30 years of energy savings
Over-spray and safety procedures were successful
