Protecting Research Operations Through Coordinated Roof Asset Management
A federal biomedical research organization needed an integrated roofing program to combine condition assessments, preventive maintenance, data support, repair coordination, and rapid leak response across its active research campuses.
Mantis partnered with an established on-site maintenance contractor to unite specialized assessment and database capabilities with local repair resources.
Background
The organization manages approximately 245 to 250 facilities across two Maryland campuses. Roof work must be coordinated around active laboratories, research operations, sensitive building systems, and high-value equipment. The scope also requires detailed asset data and a two-hour leak-response requirement to reach the site and begin identifying the issue.
Approach
Mantis leads roofing assessments, preventive maintenance, asset condition scoring support and management through the Perform platform, project management, and quality assurance.
Our on-site partner performs physical repair work and holds the repair warranty. A full summer assessment and preventive-maintenance round is followed by fall green-roof assessments, gutter cleaning, and other seasonal maintenance, while leak-response work continues throughout the year.
Results
The partnership combines complementary capabilities into one coordinated delivery model. Detailed review by the client’s architects and engineers has strengthened data collection and back-end quality assurance.
Each leak response is managed as a small project, from investigation and repair planning through weather, materials, scheduling, user coordination, and quality follow-up.
