Since Aqua Seal can tackle almost any job, the company seemed a natural choice for the Riverbanks Zoo’s new roofs, which are part of a $19 million expansion.
Just ask the folks at Aqua Seal Mfg. & Roofing Inc., Cayce, S.C. The company did several projects for the Riverbanks Zoological Park and Botanical Garden in Columbia, S.C., during 2001. The work ranged from thatched roofs, to metal, to single-ply and built-up, on structures as diverse as restrooms and a new gorilla exhibit. “There’s not a roof we can’t do,” says Madison Duncan, project manager for Aqua Seal. Duncan has been with Aqua Seal for three years, and has spent a total of six years in the roofing industry. He studied mechanical drawing and construction management in college, and got into roofing after serving in the Air Force. He describes the business as “extremely challenging,” yet rewarding.
