Trapezoidal roofing profile made out of 0.55 mm TCT with high tensile bare Galvalum sheet of
275 mpa min yield strength of grade AZ-150 (55% Aluminum, 43.5% Zinc and 1.5% Silicon) with
aluzinc coating of 150 GSM . The roofing should be Klippon Type. Approved Makes of Rerollers
– M/s Interarch, M/s Speco Tech, M/s M.G. Industries, M/s Yash Fabtech, M/s Akanksha Sales
Promoters India Pvt. Limited , M/s Swathi Colour Roof or any other equivalent as approved by
RHQ. The re-rollers shall confirm to the approved makes of base Metal i.e. JSW, TATA, Bhushan
Steel or any other equivalent as approved by RHQ.

Flashing:
Ridge flashing shall be trapezoidal matching the roof profile and bent to the ridge angle. All the
other flashing to be manufactured out of the same material and thickness as that of roofing,
Wherever the flashing interface with trapezoidal profile roofing, filler blocks should be provided
in the gaps and sealed with silicon sealant for leak proof performance. After the installation the
roof should be cleared of all the metal wastes, screws, nails etc. Necessary profiled filler should
be provided at the higher level of roof sheeting & also at the valley gutter in order to ensure

2
water tightness in the profile gaps. All external flashing in the roof all around excluding gutter
are to be of the same material and thickness as roof sheeting.

Gutter and Downpipe:

Gutter shall be manufactured out of 0.91 mm thick Plain aluminum sheets in lengths of 2.5 - 3
m min.(Longer lengths preferred). All the gutter joints shall be fixed by bulb tight rivets and
silicon sealant shall be applied all over the joint for leak proof performance. The gutter end caps
shall be provided at either ends and duly sealed with silicon sealant. The opening shall be made
in the gutter for down spot position with sleeves fixed on the gutter and connecting the sown
take pipe. Silicon sealant to be applied all over the joints to ensure water tightness. The gutter
slope shall be in such a way that the water collected from the roof move on the down take pipe
smoothly without stagnation of water at any point of the gutter. Size & Shape of the gutter will
be trapezoidal section of min. 400mm x 300mm with min. 200 mm depth for effective drainage
of the storm water depending upon the rainfall to be designed by the supplier and approved by
BPCL. The Gutter openings at the top of the water down pipe should be provided with suitable
MS wire mesh to prevent the entry of foreign materials like dry leaves, polythene bags etc. and
choke the water down pipe/drains. For effective drainage of storm water, the down pipe will be
heavy duty PVC drain pipe (100-150 mm depending on design) running inside columns. Cost of
clamp, brackets and accessories etc. to be included in the cost. Please note no structural
member to be used as a gutter. Gutter to be tested with water filled for 24 hrs to ensure it is
