Waterproof Rooftop Terrace & Deck - COMMERCIAL WATERPROOFING - MELBOURNE VIEW CASE VIDEO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQVJUHRkWC8 Findlay-Evans YouTube Channel: TRANSCRIPT: Hello again, this is Paul Evans with yet another case study for you. This one is I suppose really typical but it was a little bit more integrated than most because this is an educational facility with the rooftop existing membrane failed miserably. And they asked us to come in and integrate a membrane with protection for the purpose of building a large decking over the top which incorporated engineering elements, which had to be bolted down – a large umbrellas in this particular case, and [00:00:33] had to be bolted into the deck and yet waterproofed currently. That’s a combination which is usually causes catastrophic failure in membranes. So we got involved with the [00:00:46]. It’s about half and half; one side I was decking, the other side was synthetic grass. So we went ahead and stripped it all back and then cleaned it thoroughly by power washing it. Once it was clean to the extent of all the grime and rubbish removed, we then went about detailing everything, methodically detailing each and every new stirrup which is used for holding the supporting structure of the decking. Also, problem areas which had been for 10 -15 years, a problem area for the particular school, which was the traded roofing which had blowback in high winds and water getting forced underneath the flushing causing leaks in the adjacent corridor underneath. So we isolated those areas in particular, detailed them by hand, mastering up meticulously so they had a nice clean line to work for and then we sprayed that with liquid rubber and a top coat. Absolutely magnificent sort of result, where we sealed everything up completely. Once we had the liquid rubber sprayed down over the entire area we then went ahead and put armor blue down which is a soft-backed protection sheet with a sticky back on it to peel and stick job. That goes down to protect the membrane so you can build over the top of it in angles. So we put down synthetic grass over the top. This protects the membrane from uplifting and pulling from the synthetic grass which is too often actually bonded down to membranes, generally speaking, not just theirs but everybody’s. Then the grass shrinks or moves, or gets shifted by some pop plant or whatever and starts to tear away at the membrane. Very big problem in the industry so we’ve come up with this armor blue which works extremely well. It’s semi-adhering so it doesn’t stick a hundred percent. So if you need to pull it up for any reason and get to it; maybe put in a new penetration, you can do that. Prepare, detail, and then put the armor blue back down and it will actually stick again. So this one all went down in the area then a decking was built over the top of it, and synthetic grass put in a later date. Once those [00:02:49] come in we might even add those to the collection but it’s a little case study, if you want to know more about it, please give us a call in the numbers shown at the end of the website or just the website itself and you can find out a lot more about it and call us for a quote. Thanks for listening and bye for now.
