The redeveloped facility integrates environmentally sustainable building features including energy-efficient glazing, and water-saving fittings in line with best practice design.” – Bayside City Council
WATERPROOFING CHALLENGE
Where do you find a beach pavilion? On the beach, of course.
That location immediately presents a waterproofing challenge due to persistent seepage and a subgrade water level. In the case of this pavilion, the lower section was partly sent into the beach dune.
RESPONSE
MARKHAM provided a holistic approach using the three-part methods of BASE-TECT®, our long-standing full basement waterproofing.
In particularly high-risk areas, AQURON 7000 was also applied for ultimate concrete protection. This is a marine zone, after all.
RESULTS
Some of the team visited site more recently.
The beach is still spectacular, and the Pavilion is still looking amazing and standing strong!
If you are involved in the design or construction of structures in the high-risk marine zone, get in touch to discuss advanced concrete protection and waterproofing.
