DESIGN & DESIGN CONSULTING The fountain at Civic Center Plaza in downtown Memphis is a central feature the urban park. The interactive fountain features computercontrolled lights and jets of water synchronized with music. It forms a splash pad that was designed for children to frolic in, as well as for joggers to cool off in on hot summer days.
CIVIC CENTER PLAZA FOUNTAIN WATERPROOFING
The fountain and concealed basins are positioned in a challenging location both above and adjacent to a parking garage. SSR designed and assisted the team with a series of waterproofing repairs to the fountain basins, below grade walls, and challenging interstitial space below the extensive plaza deck. The project included new crystalline waterproofing submerged sealant joints.

STONECREST MEDICAL CENTER
Leaks in the canopy roofs at StoneCrest Medical Center damaged the underlying framing and soffit materials creating a hazard at critical entry points to the facility. SSR responded immediately to evaluate the damage and remove hazards. We designed and administered construction for the replacement of three canopy roof areas and the adjacent soffit enclosure materials. The project included removing damaged lightweight concrete and installation of new tapered insulation, coverboard, and EPDM roof membrane. Corresponding repairs were made to repair and replace soffit framing, and direct applied finishes.

CITIZENS PLAZA NASHVILLE, TN
On short notice, SSR performed a storm damage condition assessment of the existing roof on this 15-story high rise building in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The assessment included corresponding recommendations for the roof repair and replacement. As the prime designer, SSR then developed the repair design drawings, technical specifications, and bid documents. SSR’s roof consultants assisted the owner with the bid process and selection of the qualified contractor. Full service construction administration by SSR was a critical component of this successful project. The project required a high level of coordination between SSR, the owner, and the contractor regarding street closures, material delivery and containment, and execution of the work.
