Abstract
It has been a while since I have written about NRCA’s concerns with field uplift testing, which sometimes is inappropriately used as a way to assess the quality of an adhered membrane roof system installation. Despite the time that has passed, NRCA continues to have reservations about field uplift testing, and the test procedure has not yet been revised to address NRCA’s concerns.
