BUILD Q4 issue
35 Q4 2018 Build was of paramount importance to the project. The small white tiles were the outer layer of the buildings and crucial to the design. The System Details After testing to confirm suitability, Belzona 3111 (Flexible Membrane) was specified, which upon curing, would be overcoated by an adhesive to bond the tiles. This liquid-ap- plied material is a durable waterproofing membrane which can be used to seamlessly encapsulate almost all types of roof substrates and shapes. Technical discussions with the Architect, Alliatech and other parties involved, allowed for the added value of Belzona 3111 and its application abilities to be highlighted. It is solvent free, so does not experience shrinkage, but is also a flexible membrane, meaning it can shift with the buildings’ natural movements without cracking. The application of Belzona 3111 is due to finish towards the end of 2018, weatherproofing the government buildings and potentially extending their lifecycle. This is just one application amongst many where Belzona materials have been used to preventatively protect an asset. ‘Repair Protect Improve’ will always be at the heart of the Belzona, but with applications such as this on the rise, any ‘repairs’ and ‘im- provements’ are severely minimised for the long-term. ixxo has announced that it will provide facilities management services for Razzoo’s, Inc.
