RGB emphasizes forensic testing and long‑term fixes during Bourne roof interviews
Summary
RGB (RGP) told the committee it favors forensic investigation and targeted testing to determine whether leaks are active and to develop a long‑term solution rather than repair band‑aids; the firm recommended early moisture testing and phased work to minimize disruption.
John Racine and David Green presented RGB’s experience with building‑envelope forensics and municipal roofing projects and recommended targeted testing to confirm whether water intrusion is active before final design. Racine told the committee the priority is to find and fix root causes: "We wanted to provide you with a long term solution, not any band aids." (John Racine).
RGB described using moisture meters, comprehensive field reports and phased work in occupied buildings so operations such as dispatch remain functional during construction. The firm estimated non‑destructive testing could be completed in a matter of weeks, with more invasive testing adding roughly another week or two depending on approvals and weather.
