Memorial Gardens in Norwich

Location: Norwich
Specification: Hot Melt Intensive Green Roof
Approx. Area: 900m2
Description:

BriggsAmasco operatives applied a liquid 3mm layer of Bauder Bakor 790-II to the roofing deck to infill and bond any minor deviations in the substrate. This was followed by a layer of polyester reinforcement to strengthen the system and provide a uniform surface. An additional 3mm layer of Bauder Bakor 790-II was then liquid applied to create a completed 6mm monolithic membrane, forming a flexible and robust waterproofing layer that would effectively prevent water ingress for the design life of the building. To complete the renovation, the BriggsAmasco operatives applied 900m2 of Bauder Intensive Green Roof System. This lightweight substrate features 25% organic material, is manufactured and used in accordance with FLL guidelines and creates a suitable bedding system for the growth of grass, plants and flowers.
