ROOFER: A Management Tool for Maintaining Built-Up Roofs

Abstract

This paper describes ROOFER, a roofing maintenance management system for built-up roofs being developed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory with the assistance of the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory and the U.S. Army Engineering and Housing Support Center. ROOFER provides building managers with a practical tool for evaluating built-up roofs, determining maintenance priorities, and selecting repair strategies that ensure the maximum return on investment. ROOFER comprises procedures for dividing the building roof into manageable sections, collecting and managing inventory information, inspecting and evaluating condition, and managing networks and projects.
