Steel Mains

Project details

The project presents a case study of a large factory complex in Somerton, used for fabricating steel pipes, where several large vats were causing water leaks and high temperatures, leading to minor explosions. Findlay-Evans Waterproofing was called to solve the problem, and the images show details on their approach and solution.

Location & problem

Large factory complex in Somerton VIC 3062
Several large vats causing water leaks and high temperatures.
Minor explosions due to the leaks.

Solution & Approach

Conducted a remediation survey.
Found the roof was leaking throughout.
Decided to spot fix various areas and overcoat the entire section.

Fixing method

Cleaned with power washing and detailed by hand.
Applied polyethylene fabric and liquid rubber as a base.
Added an etch coat primer and a thermal top coat.

Results

Thermal top coat dropped temperature inside the building.
Solution appreciated by workers during the hot summer.
