Texas Fifth Wall Roofing Systems Tops Circuit of The Americas

Central Texas commercial roofing leader adds another Austin Landmark to its portfolio.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 13, 2012

As the primary roofing contractor for the world-class venue, Fifth Wall President Todd Hewitt couldnt be more ready to celebrate. Fifth Wall was trusted to be the official roofer of Circuit of The Americas because of our stellar reputation in Central Texas for doing what is needed to get a job done right with quality, safety and innovation. We are proud to play a role in constructing yet another Austin landmark, said Hewitt.

Fifth Wall was responsible for roofing 13 Circuit of The Americas buildings, including the signature observation tower that sits at the head of the Grand Plaza and will serve as the iconic symbol for the facility. Among many other structures, Fifth Wall also covered the media center, pit and team buildings, medical center, multiple concessions, ticket booth, Grand Plaza Turn 3 and 6, and the storefront. And beyond its unrivaled racing-focused capabilities, these world-class facilities allow Circuit of The Americas to serve as a performance, education and business center featuring public spaces for private events, visitor attractions and other research and training opportunities.

Two of the more focal buildings of the track are showpieces for Fifth Wall. The Pit Building spans nearly a quarter of a mile. The iconic observation tower is more than 20 stories high and can be seen from all areas of the track. The Fifth Wall team hand carried all materials and equipment up the structure to roof the tower because the elevator was not yet complete at the time of installation.

Understandably, the project didnt happen without its fair share of hurdles, Hewitt admitted. We usually do a project or two of this magnitude and complexity every year, each with its own unique set of challenges. A common issue, a compressed schedule was the most challenging one, he continued. That caused a lot of the trades to occupy the same space simultaneously, and there were always several cranes vying for the limited hoisting locations. But with every project, seeing the end result is spectacular.

Teaming up with Austin Commercial as the project manager, Fifth Wall worked with subcontractors Workman Commercial and Solis Constructors on several buildings to construct the roofing needs for Circuit of The Americas.
