Colorado School of Mines

Kindry Construction partnered with the Colorado School of Mines to deliver rooftop safety and fall protection improvements across multiple campus facilities.

The work required building-specific solutions aligned with engineered designs, careful coordination with roofing activities, and strict adherence to safety and access requirements within an active academic environment

Project 1: Brown Hall

Exterior of George R. Brown Hall, a modern building with metal panels, glass windows, and brown accents, with the entrance visible at street level under a canopy.

The Challenge

Brown Hall required the installation of a permanent rooftop fall protection system designed to integrate with an active re-roofing project.

The scope included multiple anchor installations through an existing roof assembly, coordination with third-party engineering requirements, and work performed within a functioning campus building with interior access limitations. Precise anchor placement and protection of existing building systems were critical to project success.

The Result

The completed system provides long-term, code-compliant fall protection for maintenance and roofing personnel. By coordinating closely with engineering consultants and roofing partners, Kindry Construction delivered a reliable safety solution that integrates seamlessly with the building’s roof system while supporting safe future access.

The Solution

Kindry Construction installed a roof fall protection anchor system in accordance with Martin/Martin Consulting Engineers’ design.

The work included fabrication, galvanization, and installation of roof anchors, ground penetrating radar (GPR) coordination for safe penetrations, and interior preparations to accommodate anchor installation.

All work was carefully sequenced alongside roofing operations to maintain building safety and minimize disruption.

Project 2: 1600 Jackson Street

The Challenge

The 1600 Jackson Street facility required a full roof replacement combined with new fall protection systems.

The challenge involved coordinating engineered fall protection anchor installations, horizontal lifeline systems, and roofing replacement activities—all while maintaining compliance with campus standards and engineering specifications.

Interior adjustments and fireproofing corrections added further complexity to the scope.

The Result

The project resulted in a fully upgraded roofing system paired with certified fall protection infrastructure, improving both safety and durability.

The coordinated approach reduced risk, streamlined installation, and delivered a long-term solution aligned with Colorado School of Mines’ campus safety standards.

The Solution

Kindry Construction delivered a comprehensive solution that integrated rooftop fall protection with the roof replacement scope.

The project included installation of roof anchors, horizontal lifeline systems, interior ceiling and fireproofing adjustments, and complete EPDM roofing replacement with new parapet metal flashing.

Professional engineering services, testing, and certification ensured all systems met design and safety requirements.
