The family that owns The Markets at Hanover wanted to increase their commitment to an energy efficient, environmentally friendly building for their clients and customers. Part of a multi-faceted plan to create a green and energy efficient environment, the owners decided to engage with Gordian Energy Systems to design, build and commission a 702-kW solar array. The Gordian and Markets teams participated together in all elements of the plan all the way to turning the system on.“I would absolutely do it again!” says Elizabeth Johnidas, co-owner of the Markets at Hanover. “Gordian Energy Systems was wonderful to work with. They certainly take care of you from beginning to end”. The solar array includes over 1,800 solar panels. By creating energy on site, the facility will essentially become a net-zero facility, meaning they will produce as much electricity as they consume. With stable, lower operating expenses and clean, renewable energy generated on site, the Markets is working create a positive impact for the Hanover, Pa. region.

Project Description: Architectural shingles, monolithic coating and New Copper sheet
Customer Name: St. Francis Academy
Location: 501 East Chase Street Baltimore, MD 21202
Roof/Metal Square Footage: 6000 square feet
Other Key Partners: Brand/Safway Scaffold

• Full replacement of the shingle mansard roof surrounding three sides of the building.
• Select structural wood and finish wood replacement.
• Stripping, priming and repainting of all wood soffits, dormers and trim boards.
• Resealing of the secret gutter with a monolithic coating.
• Select copper component repair/replacement.
• Architectural shingles, monolithic coating and New Copper sheet used throughout.

This project was most challenging in the set up and logistics. A full OSHA approved scaffold over six stories tall needed to be erected around three sides of the building in order for the crews to safely access the work areas. The scope of work required multiple phases with coordination between us and the scaffold company. Sequencing of the shingles, painting and gutter restoration were critical to a smooth schedule with specific products applied in their correct order. In the end St Francis was overwhelmingly happy with the results and said they will be sure to use us on their other upcoming projects.

We had to remove a roof system that was way past its waterproofing life and during a more than usual wet month of April. At completion of the roof replacement, the owner now has an R-30 insulated White reflective TPO Roof system with a 20-year (no dollar limit) Warranty. This building was surrounded with underground parking structure making our staging area at the loading dock to be very challenging. With coordination for the crane, dumpster and other tradesman utilizing the same area, we were able to complete the roof in a timely manner and give the owner a watertight building for years to come.
