KEMPEROL KEEPS LONDON SILOS
FUNCTIONAL Kemper System’s Kemperol 2K-PUR solvent-free and odourless waterproofing membrane has been used to refurbish an 85m food silo on London’s River Thames.
Working in conjunction with Capitol Roofing Co Ltd of Blackheath in Greenwich, the client, ADM UK, needed a swift refurbishment of one of its silos containing linseed, as water was leaking in.
Capitol Roofing chose Kemperol 2K-PUR to refurbish the roof and expansion joints around the perimeter of the silo because of its ease of application and difficult-to- access project location.
The contractors were able to install Kemper’s liquid system on top of the existing felt roof. After cleaning and priming the substrate, the Kemperol 2K-PUR resin was then applied in a single, wet-on-wet process.

Responsibility for recycling and waste in multi-tenanted buildings can mean FM’s managing multiple suppliers, each with different measurement standards, which makes performance benchmarking almost impossible. Bywaters helps its clients, particularly in multi- tenanted buildings, by placing its “Green Gurus” (environmental experts) on client sites to educate, inspire, monitor and implement waste reduction programmes for banking, hotel, hospital, government and corporate clients, embedding best- practice behaviour amongst staff.
Using just one waste management company to handle waste for a multi- tenanted building means one point of
Reinforcement fleece was laid directly onto the first application of wet resin, immediately followed by more resin on top, to ensure complete saturation of the reinforcement fleece. Once cured, the system forms a seamless, elastomeric waterproof membrane that cannot delaminate, is UV stable, and creates a strong bond directly to the substrate.
Because of the exposed location of the silo, contractors were faced with high winds during installation. The handling and laying of sheet membrane materials would have increased the health and safety risk, so Kemper’s two-component, liquid- applied system was ideally suited.
Chris Shulver at Capitol said: “This tricky project required a durable waterproofing solution that was quick and easy to apply. Not only did Kemper’s Kemperol 2K-PUR system offer these benefits, but we could also provide peace of mind to the end client that the solution would ensure a completely seamless and

contact, one central report and one supplier to manage. Environmental performance can be tracked and evaluated in a standardised, quicker and easier way.
Bywaters’ Green Gurus can intervene where necessary and improve recycling rates if they fall below target in any particular department or area of a building. An advanced weigh-bridge system is also being developed, which will act as a complete auditing tool, giving precise real-time data on waste activity so FM’s can measure their impact, cost and compliance.
Sam Fairservice, Commercial Manager at Bywaters said: “Education is a big part of what we do and the level of training Bywaters has provided for Guys’ and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is now seen as the benchmark for environmental education within the NHS – to the extent that Bywaters has been shortlisted for a prestigious NHS Sustainability Award.”

Stuart Hicks at Kemper System Ltd, added: “Because this particular silo contained food, a solution to stop the water ingress needed to be devised as quickly as possible. Kemperol 2K-PUR’s speed and ease of installation meant the plant could continue to function with very little disruption.”
