Project Overview
Following the review of several non-flame waterproofing systems, it was agreed in collaboration with Steve at Anchorpoint Safety Systems Ltd that Liquiflex Pro would be the most suitable solution for this project. A refurbishment project was undertaken at a power station to address ongoing water ingress issues affecting a single-ply roofing system installed over a concrete deck. The existing roof was believed to include insulation, which required verification as part of the assessment prior to works commencing. A core sample was taken to confirm the original roof build-up and ensure the correct specification was applied. Originally specified two years prior, the project was delayed due to various reasons before works were able to proceed. The scheme comprised three roofs and a large canopy area, totalling approximately 1,500m². A 20-year warranty was issued upon completion, providing long-term assurance to the client.
The Challenge
The key challenge was to resolve water ingress while ensuring the longevity and performance of the roofing system in a demanding environment. The client required:
- A robust and durable waterproofing solution
- A system suitable for concrete deck applications
- High-quality materials and installation
- A contractor and product with a proven track record in similar power station environments
The Solution:
Based on previous successful projects, the decision was made to utilise the single-ply system as a carrier membrane, installed by Anchorpoint Safety Systems Ltd, a contractor with extensive experience across similar sites. This system had already been used on multiple power station projects with excellent results, providing confidence in both performance and installation quality.Installation:
Despite one of the wettest winters in the UK, the installation was completed efficiently and to a high standard. The experience and professionalism of the installation team ensured that:- Work progressed smoothly on site
- Quality standards were maintained throughout
- Environmental challenges were effectively managed
The Outcome
The completed system has successfully addressed the water ingress issues and delivered a durable, high-performance roofing solution. The client was extremely satisfied with:- The quality of workmanship
- The performance of the system
- The overall delivery of the project
Contractor Feedback
“We were looking for a product to address water ingress issues. The project went very well despite the weather, and Rubberseal provided the materials as and when we required them to be delivered to site, and a 20-year warranty. Neil Curley was on hand for advice throughout the entire project, visited site regularly and provided detailed progress reports.” — Steve, Anchorpoint Safety Systems Ltd.
