Energy-Efficient Roof Tops Off Spectacular Cowboys Stadium
A vinyl roofing system from Sika Sarnafil totaling 640,000 sq. ft. was used to cover the massive, newly-completed Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
This advanced, $1.5 billion facility incorporates bold, leading-edge design features and has been referred to by some as the newest ‘wonder of the world.’
KPost Company of Dallas, an authorized ‘Elite’ Sika Sarnafil applicator, installed the roofing system. KPost deployed a crew of up to 60 individuals working 300 feet off the ground and devoted more than 90,000 man-hours to the Cowboys Stadium roofing project.
The stadium serves as home field for the Dallas Cowboys professional football team and offers visitors exceptional amenities -- from sophisticated video and acoustic systems to unmatched, ‘column-free’ sightlines one quarter-mile in length. It has the largest retractable roof of its type in the world.
The complex can accommodate more than 100,000 people and is the largest National Football League venue ever constructed. The stadium is certain to become one of the most visible and recognized sports and entertainment sites in the country.
The Sika Sarnafil EnergySmart Roof® features a long-lasting, reflective vinyl membrane that deflects the sun’s rays and thus helps to minimize costs associated with the cooling of the facility. The vinyl membrane was used on the stadium’s enormous fixed dome and on several mid-level roofs, two low-level roofs, numerous clerestory roofs and two adjacent buildings.
Construction of the stadium site -- involving the full range of trades -- took nearly two years to complete. Project architect for the stadium was HKS, Inc., of Dallas. Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc., of Irving, Texas was roof consultant for the project. General contractor was Manhatten Construction of Arlington, Texas.
