Nissan Plant

• Client Type: Manufacturing / Industrial

• Building Type: Automotive Assembly Facility

• Service Provided: Roof Replacement

• Roof System: Mechanically Attached Single-Ply Membrane

• Location: Canton, MS

Nissan’s vehicle manufacturing plant in Canton operates 24/7 with extremely limited tolerance for interruptions. Independent Roofing was selected to replace a significant portion of the facility’s roofing system — while navigating security clearance, limited-access staging, and a phased construction schedule that preserved full plant productivity.

Challenge / Objective

Nissan’s aging membrane system was vulnerable to leaks and energy loss. The challenge was to upgrade a massive, active manufacturing space without interfering with operations:

• No disruption allowed to live production lines

• Strict access control and jobsite logistics management

• Vast surface area requiring phased work over multiple weeks

• Coordination with Nissan’s engineering and safety teams on all tasks

Notable Features

• On-site supervision and safety compliance with Nissan’s protocols

• Industrial-strength membrane for durability under large equipment

• Precision logistics for material handling and debris removal

• System delivered without disrupting plant productivity

Solution

Independent Roofing created a plan that aligned with Nissan’s shift schedule and security protocols:

• Installed a mechanically attached single-ply membrane with reinforced seams and thermal insulation

• Fabricated all edge and termination metals in-house for exact fit and fast install

• Executed night and weekend work as needed to accommodate production shifts

• Managed material staging, access zones, and quality checks in partnership with plant management
