Project Description

Installation:

Reinforced Bitumen Membrane

Description:

The Coldean Primary School Hall project involved the re-roofing of a screeded asbestos cavitied deck flat roof, incorporating insulation, encapsulating the asbestos deck and undertaking associated works on an operational School. The roof area was 209m2.

The materials selected for this project was a Garland Waterproofing System, comprising Garland Contact Primer; Stressply Self Adhesive Metal Lined Vapour Control Layer; Tapered Insulation Scheme (130mm); Garland Insul-lock Insulation adhesive; Garland Torch Flex Ultra Vent Underlay; and Garland Stressply Flex Plus Capsheet, with a mineral surface finish.

Associated works to the project included renewing facias, checking/renewing rainwater outlets as appropriate and installing new cavity trays.

Sussex Asphalte successfully managed the works ensuring that it was completed in six weeks during the School’s summer holiday. This meant that we avoided operatives working on site during term time, minimising disruption to the school, and health and safety risks.

Sussex Asphalte is an approved installer of Garland Waterproofing Systems, whose operatives have been properly trained in the installation of this system. The materials performance and labour on the Coldean Primary School Project carry a guarantee of 30 years.
