3. 3 A quote from the “The Star” newspaper, front page, Property Section – 16 June 2008, states that … The Stars Foretell:

4. 4 “The extreme costs, inconveniences, safety risks, and other liabilities associated with long-term … neglect and a “false economy” roof (and building) maintenance policy, are no longer acceptable…

5. 5 This situation has, from a company profitability and sustainability point of view, reached critical proportions”. The Star

6. 6 “Any company that owns or manages a large portfolio of … properties, is very probably in the middle of a massive asset damage, SHE risk, legal compliance and financial loss crisis, without even realizing that anything is seriously wrong”. SHE = Safety, Health and Environmental Management ARTF Public Information Bulletin 2009 THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT …

7. 7 Long-term neglect, and incorrect ventilation, material and corrosion control specifications, caused this Wadeville factory structure to fail very dangerously, less than halfway through its projected lifespan.

8. 8 Still found in many buildings - very common old type of biohazardous roof insulation – badly failed SABS fire test. It can release deadly cyanide gas. 177 miners once died from this product burning!

9. YOU ARE AT RISK! As the well researched facts given in this slide show will show - If you or your company owns, rents or uses a building - you, your staff, family, occupants, building, contents and business etc. are very likely at very significant risk … even if you have been “professionally assured” to the contrary! This ARTF ePIM (Electronic Public Information Manual/ Mini Workshop) will explain a number of these critical risks and dangerous issues that exist unseen in most buildings and roofs…. Sustainable and affordable solutions are given here 9

10. SUSPICIOUS SOURCES?! If you have been acquiring risk, fire, loss, legal, maintenance and safety&health information from “the usual sources” – the chances are very high that you have been dangerously misinformed and expensively misled! Although this manual was originally compiled for industrial and commercial buildings - the information, problems, hazards and solutions described herein apply to most domestic buildings and roofs too! (See index at end of slide show, for quick reference later) 10

11. In 1994, a very successful and valuable research and development cooperative was initiated between a senior national S.A.B.S. / ISO standards and technical authority, a prominent veteran CSIR research scientist, and a leading remedial roofing research and applications technologist. 11

12. 12 Six years later, due to the great success and value of this unique collaboration to industry and the public, these authorities became the founding associates of ARTF -

21. 21 It does also appear to be true that when things do go wrong, it is mainly with the roof area” Gordon H Munro - ISO and S.A.B.S. senior authority

22. Worldwide, and over many decades, a great many national institutions, research authorities, corrosion specialists etc., have issued numerous serious warnings, regarding the massive financial losses, asset damages, and risks caused by the corrosion of metal components in roofs and buildings. 22

23. 23 “Overall costs which can be attributed to corrosion amount to several billion Rand annually in South Africa alone. Corrosion damage to roofing contributes significantly to this costly situation”. Editorial - Volume 4 Issue 1 2007 - Hot Dip Galvanizing Today

24. 24 Middleburg area Much of this roof had failed prematurely and was due for replacement. Incorrect sheeting materials were specified for this high acid rain environment.

25. 25 Decades of senior level research, and an extensive recent situation analysis have shown that …

30. 30 Wadeville – failed, collapsed, corroded gutter and liner – Extreme flood and safety risk!

31. 31 “… the bill to replace a long neglected and weather/ corrosion damaged factory or warehouse roof, frequently costs between five and thirty million Rand”. (ARTF Roof Users’ Manual).

32. 32 “In most cases, these extreme costs, losses and risks could have been reduced by 40% or more...” (Based on CSIR roof cost study bulletin – ref #B1 104/002 5663 – 12 April 2000)

33. 33 Extensive roof rust – Bloemfontein – per the CSIR and many other experts, roofs should be coated before rust occurs – this can reduce maintenance costs by half or more.

34. 34 It has for some time been assumed that modern “clip-system roofs”, as used on most new buildings today, are always a more stable and secure alternative to older forms of roof sheeting …

38. 38 … thus causing very extensive losses, leaks, damages, and risks to the tenants/ owners, and their buildings, stock, plant etc! … thus causing very extensive losses, leaks, damages, and risks to the tenants/ owners, and their buildings, stock, plant etc!

39. 39 Many new buildings, structures and roofs today are constructed using substandard, underspec., or very borderline workmanship, designs, and materials, and most omit vital corrosion, wind damage and mechanical damage protection steps. As a result, many such buildings are very unstable, unable to withstand extreme weather and events, and are often prone to rapid corrosion, degradation and failure.

40. 40

41. 41 Such roofs and structures may easily become damaged, destroyed, very problematic or extremely unsafe over time. Correct and stable repair and maintenance of substandard roofs and structures often becomes very difficult, risky and expensive. These roofs and structures may fail less than a quarter way through their ideal life, and may cost the owner double or more on the long term!

42. 42 Many years of careful study have shown that a very large percentage of buildings constructed in Southern Africa over the past 120 years …

43. 43 have been dangerously under-designed etc. and are subject to … …extensive and severe internal flooding through gutters, stormwater drains, downpipes etc.

44. 44 This large warehouse flooded out half a meter deep, causing extensive risks and damages!

45. 45

46. 46 Why should buildings be maintained?

47. 47 “Buildings are prime assets and investments, a hedge against monetary inconsistencies – and a fortress against the rigours and dangers of the environment. Damaged, leaking and dysfunctional buildings are a risk, a production distraction and a money pit. They are also unsafe and illegal”. RNA Consultants

48. 48 It is far more effective, economical and workable, to preserve a good roof, building and structure, than to attempt to restore an old, damaged one. In this way, future costs, asset and stock damages can be reduced by up to 65%. Safety, leakage and legality issues can be reduced by 85% or more.

49. 49 The lost structural strength and integrity of corroded structural steel and roof sheeting cannot be regained through later applied coatings or waterproofing. Many waterproofing and repair practices are very harmful and may rapidly destroy roof sheeting! The cost to replace weathered/corroded galvanizing (protective zinc layer on steel sheeting) etc. can cost double to triple the original material value (in real monetary value terms).

50. 50 Neglect Patch repairs Using non-specialized, non- approved applicators & products have made matters far worse worldwide and have caused untold damage, losses, deaths and injuries, upsets and inconvenience.

59. 59 In 2001-2004, the following roof maintenance planning chart caused great interest and enthusiasm in ARTF boardroom presentations to companies like Old Mutual, Africon, Thlokomela, RMB Properties, Metropolitan Life, Transnet Pension fund etc. This chart, for the very first time, clarified the problems and confusions related to the care and preservation of roofs and buildings – and it finally offered workable and sustainable solutions to these extreme problems, risks, asset damages and huge financial losses.

60. 60 Note the graph curve in chart 1, showing the (usually too rapid, premature and unnecessarily expensive) decay and death of a metal roof. (High resolution laminated A3 and A4 colour copies of these charts, and other useful reference materials, packs and professional tools, are available from ARTF – see contact details in last slide).

61. This chart shows typical deterioration and loss of value and functionality of a large galvanized steel roof in Gauteng. This projection assumes typical neglect and lack of suitable maintenance etc. Deprecation and maintenance/ repair rates are usually 30-300% higher at the coast, for common steel materials 61 “Death Valley Curve” Mechanical damage and loss of asset value become somewhat exponential from this point onwards Decay curve of correctly designed, constructed and well maintained roof. Each Rand correctly spent saves three Rand later. SHE & legal issues reduced by 80% or more Decay curve of correctly designed, constructed and well maintained roof. Each Rand correctly spent saves three Rand later. SHE & legal issues reduced by 80% or more

62. 62 In the following chart, the original 2002 ARTF Roof Maintenance Planning Chart #1 has been extended to show certain essential information and factors related to the depreciation, care and corrosion of metal roofs of different ages and conditions, in the same property portfolio. The decay curve of 3 neglected roofs of various ages are compared to the ideal decay profile for a well planned, designed, constructed and maintained roof. The extreme financial losses, liabilities and asset damages related to neglect can clearly be seen.

64. 64 Here follows some ballpark estimates derived during a depreciation costing exercise for a large corporate property owner. This exercise assumes that the owner etc. owns or cares for 8-120 warehouse/ factory/ industrial mini-unit properties in mixed conditions, of various designs (but mostly having older generation metal roofs), of mixed coastal/ inland industrial locations. It is also assumes that prior maintenance has usually been minimal and non-specialist, and that the average roof age is around 13 years old – i.e. past halfway through its typical inland life cycle (if neglected).

67. 67 “Profiled steel product increases (of over 100%!) between late 2006 and August 2008 are not helping matters at all! Hence the … remark …, that steel is now the latest semi-precious metal!” Article, SA Roofing – August 2008

68. 68

69. 69 This has been found to be true in more than 70% of all types and ages of buildings REGARDLESS OF ASSURANCES TO THE CONTRARY BY MANY INSURERS, RISK AND SAFETY CONSULTANTS, IN-HOUSE AUDITS, CONTRACTORS ETC!!!

70. 70 This survey also revealed that many buildings still contain dangerously and illegally biohazardous and/or very combustible materials, including: *Only certain types are very combustible etc.

71. 71 A recent survey showed asbestos containing materials to exist in very poorly controlled circumstances, in over 30% of +/- 40 South African factories surveyed. This can equate to a very high “risk-to-life” and illegal situation! The inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses, including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma (a formerly rare cancer strongly associated with exposure to amphibole asbestos), and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis). A recent Discovery Channel documentary estimates the total number of USA deaths from asbestos to be at least 300,000 – the current USA death rate alone is conservatively estimated at 10,000 a year!

72. Left-sided mesothelioma cancer: Chest scan – see white spots in main black area Left-sided mesothelioma cancer: Chest scan – see white spots in main black area 72

73. 73 “In recent years, a large number of well known buildings have been gutted by fire – including 2 Makros, 2 Paarl Prints, Tableview Portnet Warehouse etc. - and most of their valuable stock and equipment destroyed – this was due largely to the combustibility of the roof insulation”.

74. 74 Ongoing investigation has shown that the national statistic of serious fires has risen to critical levels – fires at well known buildings are now occuring very frequently – almost weekly at times - including also, recently:  Trentyre  Princess Crossing Shopping Centre, Roodepoort  Mugg and Bean, Kempton Park  Distell Cape Cellars  Struisbult Care Centre (12 pensioners dead and 28 injured)  Pretoria Municipal Offices  Etc, etc, etc!

75. 75 The June 2011 Carte Blanche TV exposeʹ cited an Emergency Services statistic of 2,800 fire call-outs a month for Johannesburg alone! Something is clearly very wrong here! Much of this this traces back to a wide range of design, construction, fire control, fire-ventilation, assessment and due-diligence errors, violations and negligences. MOST OF WHICH ARE ROUTINELY OVERLOOKED BY THE USUAL RANGE OF FIRE, RISK, SAFETY & HEALTH ETC. ASSESSMENTS EMPLOYED BY MOST COMPANIES!

76. Highly flammable, extremely bio-hazardous insulation media in use at a Butterworth warehouse– this product releases deadly hydrogen-cyanide gas during combustion In cases like this, insurance claims may be declined. 76

77. 77 In earlier years, it was in many cases not widely known that many building and roofing products were dangerously combustible and/or biohazardous. Case histories and testing have since shown that too many are. As this information has become better known, suppliers and manufacturers have responded in various ways. Some have made commendable improvements. Some have improved the combustibility of their materials, while their materials still remain dangerously combustible or biohazardous. As significantly combustible materials (esp. at roof level) still remain a major source of disaster level fires, ARTF highly recommends that all such be steadily removed from manufacture and use. See www.tiasa.org.za for some very valuable references and ratings schedules on insulation products. Certain organizations like TIASA (Thermal Insulation Association of SA) and Firelab (Fire testing facility at the CSIR, Pretoria) have made some very commendable advances in this area.www.tiasa.org.za ARTF strongly advises that only A1 rated material be used in buildings, and that all manufacturers, installers and suppliers strive to develop, source, supply and install only products that will not in any way spread or empower fires. Use only TIASA approved products. SANS 10177 part 10 testing of all existing insulation is very advisable.

97. Many companies cannot afford regular major capex spending on buildings – these are the times when the risks, losses and damages … 97 SHOESTRING BUDGET SOLUTIONS TEND TO RUN OUT OF CONTROL!

98. ARTF have over the past decade developed a set of unique of “shoestring budget” remedial formulas and mini-services that … Enable viable damage control and expert project supervision at very affordable “small-spend” prices! 98

99. 99 “The ARTF-SCRACE system probably achieves more asset salvation, stabilization, protection and optimization per Rand input, then any other method in use continentally. It is a true, exceptional and very secure investment”.

100. 100 SCRACE CRITICAL ISSUES ASSESSMENTS The first step to making any building, roof or structure safe, healthy, legal and loss/damage/cost controlled, is through expert multipoint assessments. To do this correctly, legally and well has tended to be very expensive, complex and counter-productive. Traditional assessment methods tend to continually overlook a number of very dangerous undetected risks and other critical concerns.

101. 101 SCRACE solves this with a range of very precise, concise, powerful, deep penetration broad-spectrum assessments called “Critical Issues Assessments” (CIA’s) These CIA’s are unique in that they target the key areas of (often overlooked) critical danger, loss and concern, in a much more efficient, comprehensive, fast, affordable and reliable way than most other industry norms!

102. 102 CIA Assessments are executed with reference to a unique 50 point Critical Issues Checklist! It is usually best to execute the full checklist – this covers a wide range of critical concerns, and usually takes between 4 and 8 days to execute in a factory, warehouse or commercial building. CIA’s can usually be adjusted to match budget and needs!

103. 103 The CIA is a specialized preliminary broad-spectrum diagnostic assessment – it helps to identify, diagnose and prioritize an extensive number of key building and roof issues, including: Roof and structure condition Roof and structure condition Leak and flood concerns Leak and flood concerns Fire and other risks Fire and other risks Combustible materials Combustible materials Fire and Natural ventilation problems and risks Fire and Natural ventilation problems and risks Biohazards Biohazards

130. 130 Isando – refurbished roof lights from inside. Double laying of old fibreglass sheets to the North facing side solved leaks, UV degradation of product, and reduced replacement costs enormously.

131. 131 These roofs were constructed from an inadequate material for coastal areas (pre-coated galvanized sheeting). Rapid and extensive corrosion damage occurred. The presence of high levels of windblown sand, salt spray from the sea, and high heat and humidity levels, caused extensive corrosion damage and destruction to the roof.

132. 132 Epoxy pre-coating of roof sheets to prevent accelerated internal corrosion, and assure greatly extended roof sheet life. Corroded roof end was redesigned and rebuilt with an Australian high performance product.

133. 133 Epoxy pre-treatment at new roof sheeting at apex, to prevent internal destruction from salt spray corrosion. Roof sheet replacements., after epoxy highbuild coating of structural steel

134. 134 Corrosion treatment under gable trims – these areas tend to get packed with damp sand, organic matter and salt. Note the workers using SABS parachute style safety harnesses and safety lines.
