Karrakatta Mausoleum

Rescue My Concrete Pty Ltd was approached to offer an alternative water-proofing solution to the specified bitumenous membrane.

After months of making the case for higher quality, faster installation, greater longevity, and greater envelope of application possibilities, the client finally decided to give the go ahead to cover a sample area. After that, everybody was convinced of the quality and suitability of the solution.

We installed the membrane at 40% cost of the cheapest competitor (bitumen sheeted products) and to the disbelieve of parties involved. For example, we prepared all different substrates appropriately and could also seamlessly cover the transitions to the specified copper gutter systems. That means they are not only receiving run off water directly over the mebrane from the roof, it also means there is no chance of unwanted water run-offs around the gutters, plus they are "glued" to the building solid.   

The professional drone pilot managed to capture footage that show cases the extent of the project (~1,200 sqms) and details of the application. For example, the clip shows the different substrates and multitude of risers, penetrations, and parapet walls we covered on top of the 14! different buildings. Needless to say that again more than 50% of the job was surface preparation.

Challenges (the major ones) included high wind speeds and overspray, wildlife (bird droppings and birds dropping tree berries), and achieving a smooth finish of the spray membrane on all vertical surfaces. Did we mention the custom coloured top coat?

Another happy customer!!!
