PARABIT DUO Hot Melt Waterproofing System is a hot applied tough and very flexible
monolithic waterproofing membrane system manufactured from a special blend of
bitumen, synthetic rubbers, polymers and other additives which, when combined
with a spun-bond polyester fabric and high performance elastomeric membrane, is
ideal for use in protected/inverted roofs, plaza decks and green roof installations.
Quick to apply and cure, it provides a continuous system without seams, the
waterproofing adheres tenaciously to the entire surface of the roof deck to eliminate
water migration and moisture build-up on the surface of the substrate.
When Ulster Hospital announced its
Phase B Redevelopment Programme,
main contractors GRAHAM-Bam
Healthcare Partnership (GBHP)
appointed Tandragee Roofing to
complete the waterproofing and
insulation of roofs and podium decks
using Icopal waterproofing products.
The Icopal’s products used resulted in
a truly multi-system solution to the
buildings’ waterproofing and insulation
needs.
The Ulster Hospital Phase B
Redevelopment will provide a new
Inpatient Ward Block and a new Acute
Services Block. GBHP sought roofing
systems proven to withstand the test
of time, supported by comprehensive
long-term guarantees. Due to the
building schedule, those systems also
needed to be installed quickly.
Tandragee Roofing carried out works
on two large podium decks and multiple
balcony and terrace areas. To ensure
the insulation met building regulations,
Icopal’s Thermazone Hydroshield IVR
insulation system, incorporating
Icopal Monarperm water reducing
membrane, was used on top of the
Parabit Duo Hotmelt waterproofing
before the areas were completed with
hard landscaping. This presented a
highly durable, thermally efficient, long
term solution for these areas, matching
highest technical performance with
pleasing aesthetics.
Speed of application was critical in
allowing works to commence internally
and the Icopal Parabit Duo Hotmelt
waterproofing membrane was key
to maximising installer productivity.
This is because the membrane can be
applied in low temperatures as well
as requiring less time to be installed,
keeping projects on schedule all year
round.
The extensive upper roof areas
were completed using an Anderson
reinforced bitumen waterproofing
system incorporating Thermaweld
capsheet for maximum security and
in-use performance. Offering ‘groove
MULTI-SYSTEM SOLUTION
technology’, the application process is
30% faster than traditional torch-on
membranes and results in a secure
bond and resistance to wind uplift.
David Laverty of Tandragee Roofing
commented on the project, saying, “We
knew we had a tight timeline, and the
podium decks were actually within the
core of the internal building structure
so there were also access issues we
had to work with. We had multiple
areas to waterproof and we were also
responsible for all the hard landscaping
works that followed. We were very
happy to work with Icopal’s products on
this project as the ease of application
and product quality helped us stay on
schedule.”
