As a leader in the roofing industry, Western States Roofing Contractors Association is constantly striving to provide its members with technical information regarding the proper design and installation of roof assemblies, applicable to the geographic region served by the Association. WSRCA also focuses on informing members of critical industry issues affecting all aspects of roofing and waterproofing — including in-field product performance, code updates, and manufacturing standards.
In efforts to maintain the highest levels of technical information and assistance for its members, WSRCA is proud to announce a partnership with new Technical Advisor, Kenneth Klein of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc. (SGH®)
SGH® is a national engineering firm that designs, investigates, and rehabilitates structures, building enclosures, and materials. Their award-winning work encompasses building, energy, civil/infrastructure, and science/defense projects in the United States, Canada, and more than thirty additional countries.
Kenneth Klein leads the West Coast Building Technology division of SGH Inc, and is experienced in the design and investigation of waterproofing of commercial, institutional, and residential buildings. His work addresses issues related to the integrity of curtain walls, roofs, plaza deck, and below-grade waterproofing systems on a wide-range of structures from residential and high-rise building to buildings of historic significance. Ken has consulted with architects, contractors, and building owners to analyze and repair water intrusion problems and construction defects. Well known in the industry, he has frequently presented to groups regarding building-envelope design and remediation.
Ken and his SGH team will provide timely and critical technical bulletins to our member community as a benefit. Attendees at the Western Roofing Expo will see Ken each year as he will present a technical seminar that promises to be informational and enlightening to the roofing industry.
WSRCA members have special access to these sources of technical information — which can be used by contractors, engineers, consultants throughout the roofing industry as a valuable feature of membership.
