Standing Seam S5s vs. Penetrations [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Clearwater]

<x-flowed>

Hi All,

We have a commercial client with a Starshield Standing Seam roof that 
would love to see us not have to do penetrations.

The word around seems to be that the Standing Seam numbers do show 
sufficient uplift capability when one does the engineering as long as 
it's installed right with the right number of screws/purlings.   We 
have an engineer about to look at that.     However some installers 
and racking companies say they just have to avoid it altogether for 
liability reasons.

I know we've had some discussions before on S5! and some case 
histories - but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my 
engineers time.

How many of you have actually installed S5! clips AND gotten an 
engineering stamp that they work?  Any problems with S5! 
installations thus far?  Any pointers on what the real issues were in 
order to get that stamp?  What are they looking for specifically?

Any experiences you may have had might save me some time and money.

Thanks!

Jeff C.
