Waterproofing Expansion Joint for Wat Dhammamongkol Temple, Bangkok
Wat Dhammamongkol Temple, an architectural and spiritual landmark, faced persistent leakage problems in the expansion joints between its buildings. Over the years, these structures, built at different times, experienced deteriorated joints that had not been properly addressed. Repeated water intrusion during heavy rains disrupted the serene environment and required immediate and reliable action.
The Challenge
The temple authorities sought a solution that would not only solve the problem but also preserve the sanctity and functionality of this cherished site.
The Solution
Triflex, in collaboration with its trusted partner, approached the project with a methodical plan:
Site Inspection and Analysis:
A thorough assessment was conducted to identify the underlying causes of the leaks and the extent of damage.Tailored Recommendation:
Triflex JWS Version 2, a cutting-edge expansion joint waterproofing system, was proposed. This solution, known for its flexibility, durability, and ability to handle structural movement, was perfectly suited for the 123-meter-long joints in the temple.Execution:
The application of Triflex JWS Version 2 began in October 2024. The system’s advanced properties allowed it to seamlessly integrate with the temple’s existing structures, ensuring watertight joints and restoring functionality.
