Municipalities are increasingly being tasked with incorporating stringent and more effective stormwater management methods into the built environment. In major urban environment this increasingly means utilizing the rooftop or on structure spaces to meet these requirements. This creates a paradigm shift for membrane specifiers, from trying to shed water from the roof to holding storm water on the roof. In this presentation we will discuss the unique challenges to rooftop stormwater management, identify some of the tools utilized with these applications and how they can be incorporated into some of the overburden assemblies we already specify like vegetated roofs and amenity decks, and how to implement these strategies utilizing real world examples. The primary audience is roofing/waterproofing specifiers, with a goal of having greater familiarity and comfort with these systems.
