The closed sections will be used by the <br /> contractor as staging areas to unload old roofing debris and to load new <br /> materials nto the roof. Also, when the contractor is working over an <br /> <br /> 3 entrance i to the City Hall courtyard, the entrance will be closed to protect <br /> pedestrians from falling debris. <br /> City all will be re-roofed with a 50-millimeter thick, reinforced, <br /> single-ply PVC watertight membrane. The old insulation has an "R" value of <br /> 11.
