Deutsche Bank

Facade & Roof Replacement for Mission Critical Disaster Recovery Site Deutsche Bank, AG occupies an existing one-story, 90,000 sq.ft. facility, utilized as a disaster recovery center. The original roof system had developed leaks and, more critically, the original brick panel wall system was experiencing failures. EI Associates was retained by Deutsche Bank to perform an assessment of the roof as well as the entire brick facade to determine the appropriate course of corrective action. A detailed assessment revealed a progressive failure of the brick exterior, a condition extremely dangerous for the building occupants. Based on our findings, we designed a new roof system as well as the replacement of the entire exterior brick facade and the construction of a new landscaped berm along the perimeter of the building.

The general scope of work comprised the replacement of the original brick panels with a lightweight, insulated metal panel system, replacement of the entire ribbon and curtain window systems and entrances, replacement of exterior entrance canopies and soffits, the construction of a new landscaped berm along the building perimeter and the installation of a new roof system. The project was designed and constructed by EI. Construction was completed in four phases, “by facade”. Temporary interior partitions were constructed to prevent damage of the extensive computer equipment and minimize disruption to the ongoing building operations.
