PROJECT FOCUS
Ridgeley Train Station, Ridgeley, Md. A historic train station, the site features a new PC Snap-On System (PCP150) metal roof from ATAS International Inc. The roof features 2,000 square feet of the 24-gauge steel panels in Redwood. The PC system consists of two parts: the fl at panel and a separate standing seam. The seam is snapped over the clips, concealing the fastening system. The building has a concave slope and using a curved version of PC (PCV) was required. The PC system must be applied to a solid substrate. The trains came to Ridgeley in 1868, when the
United States was rebuilding after the Civil War, into a station that was built in 1867. The small village became a hub of activity because of the trains, and soon required a school, post offi ce, hotel and new train station to be built in 1892. Changes in transpor- tation led to the station being closed in the 1950s. Since then, the modest train station has been a town offi ce and doctor’s offi ce. Now owned by the Commissioners of Ridgeley it was important to maintain the history and reroof the building.
