Seams and earlier repairs

Mastic and sealant patches were visible along several panel seams. Rust staining appeared at fastener lines and laps, and a failed flashing detail left part of the decking exposed.

Gutters and parapet transitions

The box gutters and parapet corners had corrosion, debris and open joints. The assessment brought the panel, gutter and wall-transition conditions into the same repair review.
