CHALLENGES CREATED BY THE HIERARCHY IN FACILITY REHABILITATION PROJECTS
During the later portion of December, 1996, heavy snowfall accumulated in western Washington state. The snow changed to rain as temperatures rose on December 29, 1996, at which time there was almost two inches of rainfall. This rain became confined within the snow and ponded on deflected roof surfaces. Most susceptible were flat (low sloping) roofs where the water was confined and/or obstructed to the roof drains or the perimeters. One of the structures the author's office investigated is a covered moorage facility.
