The Alexander Ore Reservoir building is a 30 million gallon potable water reservoir. A green roof was chosen for its asthetic purposes. The building is located in a residential area and the owner wanted the finished reservoir to resemble an open field.

The roof was primed with an epoxy and waterproofed with CIM 1000, manufactured by C.I.M. Industries Inc. The CIM 1000 is a high solids, low odor elastomeric urethane modified with ashpalt. The CIM 1000 was applied 90 mils thick then covered with a protection board to protect the membrane from construction traffic. After the waterproofing was complete the roof was covered in several feet of soil and seeded with a grass seed local to the area.
