PROJECT:                        Waterproofing of Plywood Residential Decks

Owner:                           Body Corporate 322796

Address:                         27 The Rigi, Northland, Wellington 6012

Products:                       Rhino Linings SP150 / Tuff Stuff / Armafloor 500

Project Manager:        Helfen Limited Building Surveyors

Contractor:                   Five Star Construction – Main Contractor
                                         Xtreme Protective Linings – Waterproofing

This project involved building remediation and waterproofing of plywood decks at The Rigi apartment complex using Rhino Linings Tuff Stuff waterproofing seamless membrane.

The plywood decks included falls to drains and the plywood joints were bond breaked. The plywood substrate was primed, Tuff Stuff membrane spray applied to the decks and then Armafloor 500 a protective and decorative polyaspartic topcoat applied.

Completion Date:          March 2017[/vc_column_text][dt_gap][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane system was chosen to waterproof and protect the concrete deck of the Beach Road motorway over bridge.

The motorway over bridge is a 50 year old concrete structure.  There was minimal concrete covering the steel reinforcing, the concrete surface was cracking and was only protected with a bitumen emulsion and asphalt.

The concrete bridge deck needed better waterproofing protection to prevent the steel reinforcing from corroding that would lead to spalling of the concrete.

The road surfacing was removed, the concrete deck prepared and primed and two waterproofing layers of Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane applied to the concrete bridge deck. A bond coat was applied over the Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane and then the asphalt wear layer was the reapplied.

Contract Applicator:     Polymer Group Ltd  –  Bridge Coating Contract Manager

Completion Date:          2015[/vc_column_text][dt_gap][vc_column_text]The Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane system was chosen by kiwi Rail to waterproof and protect steel rail decks either side of rail bridges and steel and concrete rail bridges.

The Tauranga concrete bridge was waterproofed to prevent ingress of salt water corroding the steel reinforcing. Waterproofing the concrete bridge deck prevents the steel reinforcing from corroding that would lead to spalling of the concrete.

The Taupiri

The Taumaranui steel bridges (NIMT bridge 201, 203, 204, 208 & 209) are Cor-Ten 10 steel (self-passivating – exhibits resistance to atmospheric corrosion) and the internal steel bridge decks were waterproofed to prevent corrosion to the Cor-Ten 10 steel substrate. The steel trays contain ballast and fill with water that results in corrosion of the Cor-Ten steel substrate. Cor-Ten steel is not resistant to ponding water.

The road surfacing was removed, the concrete deck prepared and primed and two waterproofing layers of Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane applied to the concrete bridge deck. A bond coat was applied over the Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane and then the asphalt wear layer was the reapplied.

Project Size:             20,400m2             

Project Background:
The Waikato Hospital car park is a 10-storey, 18 level, 800 car park building and it was constructed in 2007. Cracks in the car park parking deck floor slabs were discovered four years after the car park building was built.
Cracking of car park floors is common to these light weight structures. However, it was the extent and frequency of cracks which prompted repair and remediation.
The cracked concrete parking decks in the car park building have the potential to expose the steel reinforcing in the concrete to water and ultimately cause corrosion and spalling of the concrete. Evaluating concrete core sampling showed that the parking decks were in a fair condition but further deterioration would limit the life of the parking building. Water transferred from vehicles saturated the parking decks up to level 10 and water from the upper open exposed levels and the open sides of the car park reached all levels.
Polymer Group’s polyurethane system was chosen to extend the life of the car park structure. The project specification detailed a thorough cleaning and prepara-tion of the surface prior to rectifying the cracks in the concrete and then application of a flexible polyurethane membrane system topped with a heavy-duty vehicle wear coat. Combined, the above system provides a traf-ficable car park deck waterproofing system that is ex-tremely hard wearing and has long-term serviceability. The result was a 100% waterproofed, fully bonded, very hard wearing, vehicular traffic system applied over the entire surface area.
Waterproofing the car decks has prevented water ingress from further affecting the steel reinforcing that would ultimately cause immeasurable damage to the structure. Polymer Group’s solution offered the best cost and time/benefit solution.
