Design and waterproofing of a critical hospital building.

Our team faces a new and ambitious challenge in the design and waterproofing of a hospital building that, for years, has been subjected to inadequate maintenance attempts. This building, part of a crucial healthcare facility, has been subjected to interventions that, despite good intentions, did not take into account local climatic requirements or structural peculiarities. The use of unreliable and unsuitable membrane solutions has aggravated an already compromised situation, causing disruptions to the activities of the surgical room and placing health care workers in difficulty.

The challenges we face are multiple and complex. First, the climatic stresses in the area have a crucial impact on the durability of waterproofing solutions. Exposure to wind, intense temperature fluctuations and the constant action of sunlight require materials that can withstand these extreme conditions over the long term. Previous solutions used have not only proven ineffective, but have also exacerbated the problems, leading to seepage, structural damage, and further expenditure of economic and time resources for maintenance

Our response to this situation will be based on a thorough analysis of environmental conditions and the specific needs of the building. Our approach will involve the use of the most advanced technologies and innovative materials available in the waterproofing industry. The membranes we intend to apply have been specially developed to ensure that they will be watertight for more than 30 years, even under conditions of continuous exposure to the sun and the most aggressive weather conditions.

Thanks to our experience and collaboration with CIDAC the market leaders in EPDM waterproofing membranes, we are confident that the solutions we will deploy will not only solve current problems, but provide long-lasting protection, minimizing the need for future interventions.
