TE Connectivity – Building 108 Roof Replacement and Safety Enhancements

Location: Landisville, Pennsylvania
Market: Industrial / Manufacturing
Services: Roof Replacement, Safety Modifications, Lightning Protection

Overview

GSM Roofing partnered with TE Connectivity to complete a comprehensive roof replacement on Building 108 (Roof F) at their Landisville, PA facility. This project involved removing the existing ballasted EPDM roof system and installing a new, energy-efficient white TPO roof system designed for long-term performance and safety.

The work required meticulous planning and coordination to meet TE Connectivity’s stringent safety standards, which go above and beyond standard commercial jobsite protocols. GSM Roofing’s team managed the project without the use of cranes or flatbeds—demonstrating adaptability, precision, and an unwavering commitment to safety.

Scope of Work

The result is a high-performance roofing system backed by a 20-year warranty, providing TE Connectivity with improved thermal efficiency, safety, and durability.

Solutions and Execution

GSM Roofing’s success stemmed from careful communication and proactive coordination with TE Connectivity’s plant management and project partners. The team’s ability to anticipate potential safety and scheduling concerns ensured the project stayed ahead of schedule without compromising operational safety.

The company’s in-house collaboration with GSM Industrial made it possible to custom-modify the wall-mounted ladder, ensuring compliance and usability after the roof height changed. Additional walkway systems and Garlock fall protection were installed around curbs within six feet of the roof perimeter—enhancing long-term safety for facility personnel.


Results

The TE Connectivity roof replacement exemplifies GSM Roofing’s commitment to safe, efficient, and high-quality commercial roofing solutions. The project was completed ahead of schedule, met all of TE’s rigorous safety requirements, and provided the client with a long-lasting, low-maintenance roofing system that improves both energy efficiency and safety compliance.
