This large Bellsouth Communications project was completed in 2006 in downtown Charlotte, NC. The project was a complete pitch tear-off and pitch re-roof of approximately 40,000 square feet. Location was a key factor in this challenging roof installation, with significant mobilization and safety concerns top-of-mind in working within this congested metropolitan area. Because the building was a 15-story (180’) high rise, doing a complete tear-off made set up and materials handling exceedingly difficult.

The logistics required Cyclone to set up a crane large enough to reach the roof from an adjoining parking lot (at the Hilton Hotel) to transport materials, including hot bitumen, up to the roof. This was accomplished under the watchful eye of Kyle Winecoff, Cyclone’s Safety Coordinator, and Cyclone’s Operations Manager, Fred Perron. Bellsouth was pleased with the completed roof and the professionalism which was exhibited in the execution of the project.

As a side note, the Manager at the Hilton Hotel, was so impressed by the handling of the Bellsouth Project, he contracted with Cyclone to do Hilton’s roof replacement several months later.
