Waterproofing Solution for Grande Centre Point Lumphini, Bangkok
The Grande Centre Point Lumphini, a mixed-use development by LH Mall & Hotel Co., Ltd. (LHMH), is a prestigious project combining luxurious hotel accommodations with state-of-the-art office facilities. In November 2024, Triflex was approached to address a critical waterproofing issue with the building’s 27th-floor swimming pool, spanning 900 m². With water leakage identified during initial testing, the project team sought a reliable and efficient solution to ensure long-term durability while adhering to tight project deadlines.
The Challenge
The swimming pool, constructed with a concrete structure, exhibited significant water leakage during the first water test, raising concerns over its integrity. The customer required a robust waterproofing system that would:
Resolve the leakage problem effectively.
Accommodate ceramic tile installation as the final top covering.
Adhere to a strict project timeline, allowing tiling work to commence quickly after waterproofing.
The Solution
Our trusted partner TCI proposed Triflex BWS system, as the ideal waterproofing system for this complex project. Designed specifically for tiled surfaces, the Triflex BWS system ensures excellent mechanical bonding with tile adhesives through a sand-top layer.
Key features of the Triflex BWS solution included:
Full waterproofing for the entire pond area (900 m²).
Mechanical bonding to securely adhere to the ceramic tile layer.
Quick-drying properties, enabling tiling work to start the next day, ensuring the project stayed on schedule.
The application process began with meticulous preparation of the concrete surface to ensure optimal adhesion. The Triflex BWS system was then applied seamlessly across the pool structure, forming a durable, watertight layer. Following application, a sand layer was added as a mechanical bonding surface for the tile adhesive.
Despite the tight project timeline, the quick-curing capabilities of Triflex BWS enabled tiling work to begin just 24 hours after the waterproofing was completed. This efficient approach minimized project delays while delivering superior waterproofing performance.
