3 July 2013 Cannon Air Force Base Curry County, New Mexico, USA 03 An Action Plan Business Challenge: Construction work had to be completed quickly and without interference to an existing, and active airfield. Speed Kingspan Solution: To construct the roof and walls, the project utilized 120,000 square feet of Kingspan panels. Consolidated Metal Builders was the building envelope subcontractor on this project for the general contractor, Hensel Phelps Construction of Phoenix, Arizona. According to Ric Justus, CEO of CMB there were specific reasons why KingZip metal roofing panels were selected for the roof conversion project of the hangar. The KingZip panels were chosen as a value engineering option after the job was awarded, he said. He also noted another prime reason for recommending KingZip. It allowed us to perform a quicker and safer installation of the roof system on this air field project in cold, windy winter conditions.

KingZip also provides designers with an array of color and finishing options. Flexibility Kingspan s 300 Series Azteco Embossed panel was specified for the wall of the Cannon Air Force Base hangar. These IMPs can be used in a multitude of building designs. The 300 Series Azteco panel offers an architectural element, giving the project an impressive look, at a value engineered price. Installation Benefits: When using this single component IMP, compared to the more complicated built up wall system, construction delays are minimized. Kingspan s one-step installation can reduce on-site installation time by up to 50% compared to traditional multipart systems. This reduces multiple labor steps required with other roof and wall systems down to a single operation. Aesthetics

5 July 2013 Cannon Air Force Base Curry County, New Mexico, USA 05 Mission Capable Owner Benefits: The KingZip metal roof panel stands out among the crowd. It is manufactured with energyefficiency, durability, and low maintenance in mind. Energy With a KingZip metal roof system, the building owner, in this case the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces, can enjoy energy and cost cutting savings of as much as 30% over standard cavity-based insulation systems. The savings come with a high R-value, thermal performance of superior airtightness, and low thermal bridging. This eco-friendly metal roof panel contains a substantial amount of recycled content on the exterior skins and the panels themselves are recyclable. They are also eco-friendly because they lower a building s operational energy demands (primarily heating and cooling). As a result, they reduce the carbon footprint of the Special Forces Hangar at Cannon Air Force Base.
