Waterproofing Solution for Dover Court International School, Singapore
In 2018, Dover Court International School in Singapore faced a significant waterproofing issue with joint interfacing on a valley gutter.
The Challenge
The challenge arose from the need to connect the old canopy roof with a newly constructed roof, which introduced different slopes and prohibited the use of conventional gutters to manage rainwater runoff. The key objective was to effectively seal the roof junction while ensuring long-term durability under challenging conditions, including temperature variations and metal expansion.
The school approached Triflex due to their proven expertise in waterproofing solutions, particularly for metal roofs in Asia, and their reputation for delivering reliable results in challenging projects.
The Solution
Working alongside Egner Building Technologies Pte Ltd, an authorized Triflex contractor, the team conducted on-site testing to determine the most appropriate waterproofing system. The Triflex ProDetail System, known for its exceptional crack-bridging performance and ability to withstand temperatures up to 45°C, was chosen to address the joint interfacing between the two roofs.
The system was reinforced with fleece, providing additional durability and flexibility to accommodate the natural expansion of the metal roof. Triflex ProDetail's liquid-applied resin formed a seamless waterproofing layer, ensuring effective protection against water ingress while maintaining the integrity of the roofing structure.
Key Benefits
Temperature Resistance: With the ability to perform in temperatures as high as 45°C, Triflex ProDetail was the ideal choice for the tropical climate of Singapore.
Crack-Bridging: The system’s superior crack-bridging performance ensured that the metal roof could expand and contract without compromising the waterproofing.
Durability: Reinforcing the system with fleece provided long-lasting protection against wear and tear, making it a reliable solution for the school’s roofing needs.
