PROJECT: FedEx Transfer Station
PRODUCT: Elasto-Kote (Portland Grey)
PROJECT SIZE: 25,000m²
COMPLETED IN: 2 WEEKS
APPLICATION: Spray applied
GUARANTEE: 20 years
The Problem
This large industrial metal roof had been damaged and leaks were present in several areas due to corrosion. It required a full overcoat to ensure it was fully waterproofed. This would help to prevent further corrosion from developing around exposed, cut metal edges.
The Challenge
There was a small-time window of only two weeks to complete this 25,000m² roof. A roof of this scale would often take twice this time, so this was a challenge for our contractors.
The Solution
It was decided that LRS’ spray-applied Elasto-Kote system was the only option to deliver the waterproofing necessary in the time frame available.
Elasto-Kote is a quick and simple application with no need for reinforcement due to very high tensile strength, extending the life of the roof while the business stays in use with minimum disruption.
The Benefits
This high profile project was completed in time and on budget, exceeding the client’s expectations. Furthermore, finished with a highly solar reflective and FM approved system, Elasto-Kote offers an exceptionally high performance waterproof elastomeric finish.
At the heart of everything, we do here at LRS, are our industry-leading products and exceptional customer care. That’s why we put so much effort into every project we do; to ensure ongoing roofing works don’t disrupt our customers’ businesses’.
