To reduce the amount of work carried out at height we measure the required lengths of SRM and cut the rolls at ground level, this made it easier to transport the material by hand, carrying more manageable size rolls up to the roof level and being able to navigate through ongoing construction works. The cut rolls were transported via the internal lift to the ninth floor, to a small flight of stairs leading to the 10th floor roof terrace. The cut rolls of SRM were then raised to the roof (eleventh story) using ropes, the Silent Roof Material was laid out flat and securely fitted at each of the long edges and rolled at the short edges into the gutters, allowing the SRM to breathe.

The SRM is fixed along the outside edges using tech-screws and penny washers, each of the long sides are then cable tied to each adjacent strip to form a carpet coverage of the flat roof. Steel retention wires are then tensioned with turnbuckles across from left to right perpendicular to the SRM to prevent any uplift and the SRM is then cable tied at the joins where it meets the steel retaining wires creating multiple fixings over the entire carpet coverage.

The SRM was left open at each of the short ends (top/bottom) to allow the material to expand and contract with the changes in temperature. These can be fixed if necessary but when fixed it can cause additional ripples in the material as it expands/shrinks. The installation took place a few weeks prior to the worst Storms ever experienced in the UK and Storm Eunice in particular, however the photo below shows the silent roof installation remained secure through 100mph winds, even at eleven stories up!
