The challenge:

A significant plant building on Centrale Shopping Centre's roof was leaking. The roof was covered in limestone chippings that made it nearly impossible to visually inspect and locate the source of the issue.

Before any thorough investigation could be undertaken scaffolding was erected, and tonnes of limestone chippings were removed by a scarifying machine, manually bagged and hoisted down. This allowed for roof diagnostics to be carried out. Roof diagnostics entails initial core samples to evaluate the build-up and establish moisture data benchmarks. Once complete a thermal scanning camera can then pinpoint areas of moisture and its severity to give data-led insights of problematic areas. Resulting in an informed cost-effective solution to refurbishment.

The action:

A comprehensive report and specification was produced by Tremco, which recommended an overlay of the existing 700m2 roof to restore its waterproofing, and to replace, like for like, just 80m2 of roof that was badly affected by water ingress. Some of the chippings were heavily embedded within the existing waterproofing.
It was decided to line the roof with TremPly to deliver a coat-able surface that was compliant to Broof(t4) classification. StructureCare, an internal contracting arm of Tremco, installed the TremPly and coated the new surface with Tremco’s liquid applied roof solution; AlphaGuard PUMA.

The solution:

AlphaGuard PUMA Liquid Applied Flat Roof System is a fast-curing solution in both low and high temperatures, ideal for install through all seasons, certified with Broof(t4) classification, BBA certified, and delivers a 25-year warranty.

Project was completed within the desired time to minimise construction disruption to the shopping centre’s operations. As the solution was specified and supplied by Tremco and delivered by StructureCare it granted a complete single source approach to refurbishment.

Those managing multiple buildings, whether its one large estate or across a town or region, face countless challenges, especially when issues arise. Roofs in particular are one of the largest assets, and unfortunately when they fail, are one of the most expensive to repair.
