Strong winds can place significant stress on roof systems, sometimes leading to uplift and displacement of materials. When this occurs, it’s important to evaluate how the system was installed, how it performed under load, and whether underlying conditions contributed to the failure. Understanding wind related impacts helps identify vulnerabilities and supports effective repair and mitigation strategies moving forward.

We’re excited to be working with Fairbury Public Schools on the roof replacement project for the historic 1947 Administration Building!

Our team was recently on site gathering existing conditions and performing a comprehensive 3D laser scan of the facility to create a detailed point cloud model for design. Utilizing advanced scanning technology allows us to capture accurate building data, improve coordination, and streamline the design process for renovation projects like this one.

We appreciate the opportunity to assist Fairbury Public Schools and look forward to helping preserve and improve this important community facility.
