Triton Systems – A holistic and practical approach to ICF structural waterproofing
O
ne of Triton’s latest approved installer customers who specialise and build using ICF systems had been considering growing the company skills base and as the company grew, became clear
it that it would benefit them
to add structural waterproofing as a service since so many of their projects involved basement construction. One of their company directors successfully completed the Property Care
Associations CSSW
examinations in July 2016, which added Certified Structural Waterproofing Surveying to the company portfolio.
This property is designed specifically for the high-end holiday rental market, and the complex and intriguing design maximises the expansive sea views.
An inverted living accommodation design meant five double en-suite bedrooms formed the basement part of the project, and the high value of the property meant particular attention to the waterproofing design was paramount. The entire building is built on a sand dune which necessitated a reinforced concrete raft design on multiple piles. The property is built entirely from insulated concrete formwork and is a highly insulated airtight superstructure providing u/values of 0.18 w/m2k. The full Triton Cavity Drain Membrane
Type C system was used as well as Triton TWS-EX100 under the reinforced concrete raft and Triton TT Vapour Membrane with Platon Double Drain on the external walls. The structural engineers design of a heel at the floor/wall junction meant specific attention to detailing was required externally. The use of our liquid applied Triton TT
Vapour Membrane meant the detailing was achieved easily, but with no compromise on the integrity of the system. Multiple layers of the liquid applied system provided an excellent, completely waterproof result. Triton Chemical Manufacturing Company Limited (Triton Systems) is an established structural waterproofing systems supplier (Types A, B and C as defined in BS 8102 2009).
