In Reply to: Why a flat roof? posted by Konky on January 07, 2012 at 12:57:35:
Cost is probably the biggest reason. I oversaw the maintenance on a building that had 1.25 million sq. ft. It was all flat. The size of this building made it very hard to install a sloped roofing system. Another thing with a large pitched roof the roof drain system would have (storm water)to be huge to handle a hard rain storm because of the speed the water would run off the roof. We installed a new roof on our building after a tornado tore part of the old one off. Took 2 years ( $ 7.5 Million) with as many as 50 people working around the clock 7 days a week when the weather permitted. We installed extra roof drains to eliminate ponding and had water coming out manhole covers in the building because the original piping was not large enough. A properly installed roof on a flat building will last a long time. Ours was designed by a roofing engineer and inspected weekly by him and daily by me. It was a 2 ply torch applied Siplast system. Penetrations for equipment would be a lot harder on a pitched roof.

This is the place! Bought
