Triton Systems waterproofs ICF sub-structure for listed farmhouse extension


Products from the range of Triton Systems have been used to waterproof a semi-buried single storey extension to an old listed farmhouse near Uckfi eld in Essex, with the specialist sub-contractor involved being a long-term customer of the manufacturer for its work across the South-East. The current contract, which is being project managed by the property owner, features the use of Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) to construct the 30 metre long curving walls which have then been protected by Archer Specialist Treatments, using Triton’s EX100 membrane and Double Drain barrier to direct groundwater into a land drain around the base. Triton fi llet was also used at the fl oor/wall junction to prevent moisture penetrating the joint. As a long-established manufacturer with a very successful track record, Triton Systems offers a wide range of well proven products to cover damp-proofi ng problems, timber protection, structural repairs, condensation control and the penetration of gases such as radon and methane. Its technical advisory service is also able to offer advice on specifi c project requirements as well as guidance on relevant product compliances.

A National Trust property in Surrey, popular for both weddings and with visitors wanting to explore the listed farm buildings and extensive grounds, is currently undergoing a refurbishment programme, with waterproofi ng and other products from the range of Triton Systems having been employed by a specialist sub- contractor to complete some very rapid remedial work. Archer Specialist Treatments is a long term customer of Triton Systems and has used both its timber treatment and tanking products for its work on Hookhouse Farm at Outwood in Surrey, where a 17th century barn featuring an imposing ‘queen-post’ timber truss roof offers a stylish setting for couples to exchange their vows. The main challenge for Archer Treatments’ experienced team was to tank the cellar beneath the farmhouse in just six days. Suffering regular fl ooding to a depth of half a metre, the 30 m2 cellar in the original farm house required the installation of both Triton’s P20 and P8 drainage membranes to waterproof the fl oor and the walls to the subterranean space, while one of Triton’s automatic pumps was also fi tted to remove any water collecting in the sump created.

Basement specialist specifi es Triton Systems for vintage project


One of Triton Systems approved installers has made use of the manufacturer’s waterproofi ng and sealant products in constructing a large wine cellar as the semi-buried basement structure beneath a new fi ve-bedroom property in North London. Harkmac Construction Limited undertook the new build in the Stanmore area on behalf of Inspired Designs, a Residential Design and Build company and recommended the use of Triton’s TT admixture to the project structural engineer along with Swell Seal mastic to address the day joints. Harkmac’s Contract Manager on the Stanmore job, Anthony Anderson, comments: “We work right across the country from Cardiff, down to Portsmouth and up to Coventry and have utilised the Triton range on a variety of domestic and commercial projects, including several of the David Lloyd gymnasium extensions. The products are very easy to use and we get good technical back up from Triton, including site visits and the supply of drawings or special details when needed.” Triton Systems offers a wide range of well proven products to cover damp-proofi ng problems, timber protection, structural repairs, condensation control and the penetration of gases such as radon and methane.
