OCTOBER 2016 – Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) West Virginia division recently completed The Temple-Tifereth Israel project in Beachwood, Ohio, which kicked off last November. KRSM Project Manager John Sberna worked with The Albert M Higley Company as the General Contractor for the project, and KRSM’s Yancey Clark served as sheet metal foreman.

The 14,600 square foot scope of work included a modular single skin panel system, screen walls, and a fully custom Riverclack metal roofing system. This project was the first time the ground breaking Riverclack system was used in North America. Riverclack is an Italian manufacturer who has pioneered a new metal roofing system design that snaps in place, with no mechanical fastening, and results in a completely watertight seal.

“Working with an overseas manufacturer posed its challenges with shipping, delivery, and lead times. The system itself also proved to be a bit of a challenge to install over a dome, but we created six different anchor points at the tops of the domes for tie-off so that our men could safely work on securing the new roof system,” stated Sberna. “In the end, everything went smoothly, and the Riverclack team was very easy to work with. This system is truly one of a kind and should serve the Temple-Tifereth community well into the future.”

FOREMAN SPOTLIGHT: ALIRIO TEJADA

Posted by & filed under Kaley Employees.

OCTOBER 2016 — Alirio Tejada with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) Maryland division is this month’s featured sheet metal foreman.

Alirio began working for KRSM in 2005 as a sheet metal apprentice working directly under foremen, and his first project was the Remote Truck Delivery Station at Fort Detrick with Operations Manager Ernie Giancola. He is now a sheet metal foreman and is currently working on the Frederick Memorial Hospital addition composite panels with Project Manager (PM) Phil Conroy.

Alirio has a total of 20 years experience in the roofing and sheet metal industry and has worked on numerous high-profile projects during his career with Kalkreuth. One of his most memorable projects to date was the Joint Medical Logistics Center at Fort Detrick.

“Alirio is a hard-working, safety conscious, quality oriented foreman,” said PM Phil Conroy, who works with Alirio frequently. “A perfect example of his skills is the Frederick Memorial Hospital where he completed the composite panel scope of work. Gilbane (the General Contractor) said they would use him on any project moving forward because of the way he works and the quality product we provided to the owner.”

“I make sure to choose the right safety equipment for the job, inspect the equipment, and make sure it’s used for its intended purpose—that’s the first part of the job,” Alirio said. “Doing all of this allows me to do the second part of the job—metal installation—safely and productively.”

Alirio currently lives in Laurel, Maryland with his wife Angelina and his three children, Jovani (17), Marvin (15), and Maryjey (13).

We are honored to have Alirio as a member of the Kalkreuth family and appreciate his continuous hard work and dedication since he began in 2005.
