Waterproofing Solution for BTS Gold Line Metro, Bangkok
In 2021, the BTS Gold Line Metro project in Bangkok required a reliable waterproofing solution for the joint interfacing between the existing MRT roof and new access hatch windows. Triflex, alongside authorized contractor Mcwell, was tasked with providing a system that would withstand harsh environmental conditions and ensure long-term waterproofing performance.
The Challenge
The project faced challenges in sealing the interface between the newly installed access hatch windows and the metal roof. The expansion and contraction of the metal roof, coupled with the need to ensure proper rainwater drainage, made this a complex task. A highly durable and flexible waterproofing solution was required to meet these demands.
The Solution
Triflex and Mcwell conducted on-site testing to determine the best solution. Triflex ProDetail was selected for its excellent crack-bridging performance and ability to handle metal roof expansion. The system, reinforced with fleece, provided superior waterproofing even in temperatures up to 45°C. Special attention was given to creating a sloped drainage solution for effective rainwater evacuation behind the access hatch.

Results
