The refurbishment of a roof in an exposed location, 35 metres high, can present its challenges. Stuart Hicks from Kemper System explains why a liquid waterproofing system was the best solution.
The correct product specification alongside a contractors’ skill and expertise were required during the repair of a 35-metre high barrelled roof area above an oil refinery at a food processing plant in Erith, London.
The barrelled roofs sections at the ADM Milling penthouse, adjacent to the River Thames in London, were experiencing water ingress and presented many key challenges for the contractors – its exposed location, the height of the building and access considerations for operatives, the busy and occupied nature of the food milling plant, and the requirement for a relatively quick and easy waterproofing solution.
The 100-year-old building consists of twenty-four food silos which are covered by three, 18m-wide barrel-vaulted concrete roof sections with interconnecting flat roof areas.
Specification Considerations
A quick yet durable waterproofing solution was required as the food milling plant was occupied and needed to remain fully functioning throughout the project. Any water ingress into the silos would result in the entire contents being disposed of, alongside a full decontamination and clean of the silo at considerable cost.
