Trusted Waterproofing and Warm Roof Systems Chosen

Recently completed, this substantial inner-city residential development encompasses 160 apartments over 14 levels in the vibrant heart of Auckland’s CBD. With a strong client brief that provided a challenge to maximise site potential, PB&A Architects engaged the Allco team to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ range of waterproofing solutions.

Having a consistent supplier for the above and below ground waterproofing solutions proved to be a huge advantage, not only saving time and money, but also allowing contractors to overcome complexities on the go. The consistent support of Allco's highly qualified TA team ensured the job was done at a consistently high standard providing one full job warranty.

Chloe Lovell-Shannon of PB&A commented that “the advantage of the Hydrotech system was the move away from the traditional screeded falls to outlet system, giving way to higher soffit heights and a lower step at the threshold by utilising Hydrotech’s zero falls and flexibility of drain/outlet locations. The full on-site technical advice on the system subsequent warranty on materials and workmanship offers higher level surety in its specification.”

Allco prides themselves on the support they offer along with their systems. Allco has a team of account managers and technical experts that are fully equipped with the knowledge and experience to assist with all aspects of the design and construction process from concept to completion.

Below ground waterproofing: Volclay Voltex waterproofing membrane solution to basement shotcrete walls to allow easy construction staging and methodology
Balconies: Hydrotech MM6125 membrane applied to 67 balcony decks at zero-degree falls
Podium: Hydrotech MM6125 membrane applied to low fall structure, allowing a reduction in structural thickness, weight and cost
Main Roof: Casali warm roof, allowing higher ceilings to the interior by placing the insulation above the roof structure

- Pavers or floating timber deck on pedestals
- Ballast (graded stones)
- Green roof
- Concrete topping slab
b) On a trafficable cold roof/deck assembly: one of the overlays described in 2(a) must be used:
c) On a non-trafficable cold roof/deck assembly or where only maintenance related traffic is expected: the membrane must be protected with a layer of Hydroflex 30 or Casali Olympia.

Pavers or floating timber deck on pedestals
Ballast (graded stones)
