Duration

Location

Summary

Failed waterproofing on open roof needed to be replaced with a new multi-layer combo roof: insulation, seamless membranes, and technical coatings for resilient, UV-stable, and fully watertight performance. Previous patch repairs and membrane overlays had failed to address underlying slope and coverage issues—leading to recurring leaks and rapid deterioration.

Technical Diagnosis

Substructures and wet zones need protection against water infiltration, while roofs required protection against thermal and weather stresses. Multi-zone waterproofing with precise detailing at transitions were required to meet requirements.

Implemented Solution

Substructure waterproofing using bitumen sheet membrane and protection boards with detailing at wall-floor junctions, penetrations, and terminations

Robust cementitious waterproofing applied in all wet areas including bathrooms, kitchens, balconies with meticulous detailing at critical junctions

Combo roof: surface preparation; spray-applied PU foam, dual-layer liquid bitumen membrane, geotextile protection, screed with slope, angle fillet prep, and cementitious coating

Rigorous quality assurance including layer-by-layer inspections and testing to ensure seamless integration and long-term system reliability

THE RESULTS

Envelope achieved certified watertightness on all levels

Long-term thermal and moisture protection delivered
