Ron’s suggestion is very similar to an alternative concept which we had considered. Attached is a sketch. We should have included this in our Post. This shows the center beam (line 3) to be 6” than 2 beams (lines 2 & 4). The water is direct away from lines A & F using sloped insulation.

We also are considering 1% slope instead of 2 %, which would reduce the difference between the bottom of the overflow scuppers and the low point at the roof drains to 3”
