Waterproofing Solution for MJET Don Mueang Airport, Bangkok
In 2021, Triflex, along with its authorized contractor Mcwell, was tasked with providing a waterproofing solution for the MJET Don Mueang Airport’s metal roof. The project required a system that could withstand the harsh environmental conditions and effectively seal joint interfaces between the metal roof and new window access points.
The Challenge
The initial flashing connections between the metal corrugated sheets and windows were inadequate, leading to persistent leakage. A previous attempt using a standard sealant was ineffective due to the expansion and contraction of the metal roof. The challenge was to implement a solution that could handle these dynamics while providing long-term waterproofing protection.
The Solution
After conducting on-site testing, Triflex ProDetail was selected as the ideal solution for waterproofing the interface between the metal roof and window access. The system’s ability to perform in temperatures up to 45°C, combined with its superior crack-bridging capabilities, made it the perfect choice. To enhance durability, the system was reinforced with fleece to accommodate the roof’s expansion and contraction.
The installation process began with detailed surface preparation, followed by the application of the Triflex ProDetail system. The system’s quick-curing properties ensured minimal disruption to airport operations. Its flexibility allowed it to effectively seal even the most complex areas, such as window interfaces and joints, providing long-term waterproofing protection.
