Spray foam roof for large industrial building

We have a 90000+ square foot flat roof industrial building. The roof itself is not in great shape. There are walls between the sections of the roof which are probable causes of some leaks. 

We are considering to put on a spray foam flat roof covered with a silicone coating. There is a 15 year manufacturer warranty. In theory, in 15 years when the silicone coating is starting to wear down, another such coating can be put on top economically.

We are curious to hear if anyone has put such a roof on their building and what is your experience with it. 

The flat roof is already a second layer so it would be pricy to tear down the old roofing material to start again with a new first layer. The price of the spray foam roof and coating is approx $3.50/ft.

I did spray foam roof and walls in my house remodel and I’m not happy.  This was supposed to be a much better product and the best way to go according to the contractor.  I spent a lot of extra money and have had a lot of headaches.  I would never use this product again. Keep digging and asking questions, I wish I did.  I’m happy to chat on the phone to tell you my issues, just too long of a story.
