SIKA 1 CHOSEN FOR PRESTIGIOUS WATERPROOFING SCHEME
May 2012

SIKA 1 CHOSEN FOR PRESTIGIOUS WATERPROOFING SCHEME

For the renovation of eight properties into ambassadorial residences, in one of London’s most prestigious locations, specifiers looked to a waterproofing system that would protect the historic and nationally prominent buildings to the utmost. They chose the market proven Sika 1 Pre-bagged Waterproofing System – a system that has provided undisputed protection for over 100 years.

Enjoying attractive views over Regent‘s Park, Cornwall Terrace was designed in 1812 for George, Prince of Wales, by John Nash, the famed architect who designed Trafalgar Square. Featuring elaborate stucco exteriors and grandiose designs, it is described as the “jewel in the crown” for its sumptuous construction and elegant planning. The magnificent ambassadorial mansions of Cornwall Terrace account for 8 Grade I listed homes, all of which are let on long leases.

Oakmayne Properties, working with award-winning architects Tate Hindle and English Heritage, completely redesigned and rebuilt the interiors and renovated the exteriors of the eight properties. Part of this work included the upgrading of its basements to provide more habitable living space for its residents.

The basement refurbishment project was overseen by main contractors Laing O’Rourke working with specialist contractor Aquarend. Providing their expertise to the waterproofing of the basements, they installed the Sika 1 Pre-bagged Waterproofing System, a system Aquarend has used on prestigious basement refurbishments in London many times over.

Sika 1 is a complete waterproofing system comprising of pre-bagged mortars, renders and screeds. Its impressive waterproofing attributes are a result of the innovative Sika 1 admixture. A colloidal silicate liquid, it swells on contact to water. This blocks the pores and capillaries of the system’s mortar and screed, providing a 100% watertight seal that keeps moisture out and ensures a basement free of water ingress and vapour. Once applied, the Sika 1 system is certified by the British Board of Agrément to last the lifetime of the building, ensuring future protection against water penetration – a perfect choice for buildings that are invaluable examples of Britain’s architectural heritage.

To ensure a totally waterproof seal, Aquarend cast a layer of Sika 1 Spritz Mortar over the basement‘s walls. This was followed by a second and third layer of Sika 1 Render and Finishing Mortar to the walls and vertical surfaces, whilst on the floors Sika 1 Spritz Mortar was topped with Sika 1 Screed Mortar.

Aquarend applied the system to the floors and walls of the basements throughout the 8 properties of Cornwall Terrace. This ensured a watertight envelope that would safeguard the buildings from any water damage. The basement spaces could then be refurbished to the requirements of Oakmayne Properties. To guarantee that the buildings were fully protected from subterranean water damage, Aquarend also applied Sika 1 to the under pavement vaults of the buildings.

Sika 1 meets the requirements of all three grades of waterproofing as outlined by BS8102: 2009, the Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water from the Ground. For the Cornwall Terrace basements, it needed to meet Grade 3, which ensures a dry structure with no moisture penetration. The system is so effective as a water barrier that not only is it used as a waterproofing membrane for basements, but its other uses include keeping water in – it is frequently used in swimming pools.

As well as BBA certification and meeting the stringent requirements of BS8102, Sika 1 is also supported by the Sika Waterproofing Registered Contractor Scheme, created to minimise risk for specifiers, main contractors and clients. It ensures all projects that require waterproofing benefit from the product’s proven performance as well as exceptional technical service from Sika’s team and first class installation from one of the company’s Registered Contractors.

The use of Sika 1 on the historic buildings at Cornwall Terrace is yet another case of it being relied upon to protect invaluable structures from water ingress and damage. With a long track record of success, it has been used on everything from tunnels and pavement vaults to the basements of commercial structures and prestigious heritage buildings. Certified to last as long as the lifetime of the building to which it is applied, it will protect the priceless properties at Cornwall Terrace for years into the future.

In addition to Sika 1, Sikafloor-264 was used on the garage and plant room floors to protect them from damage and ensure their integrity. A two-part, economic, solvent-free coloured epoxy resin, it is ideal for floor areas with medium to heavy usage. With excellent mechanical and chemical resistance, the slip resistant seal coat provided the finishing touches to the renovation work at the historic royal properties – as part of a range of comprehensive solutions from Sika that’s truly fit for a king.

SIKAFLOOR PROVIDES SOLID BASE FOR LAUNCH OF £7.8 MILLION RIZON JET HANGAR
May 2012

SIKAFLOOR PROVIDES SOLID BASE FOR LAUNCH OF £7.8 MILLION RIZON JET HANGAR

Founded in 2006, Qatar-based Rizon Jet is renowned for providing exceptional flying experiences for the most discerning business traveller. When the company commissioned the design and build of a brand new terminal facility in the UK, the materials used had to meet these same exacting standards. Appointed to deliver the complete flooring application, Zircon Flooring specified a series of market-leading solutions from global building products manufacturer, Sika.

To establish a UK base to accommodate its international clientele from Europe and the Middle East, Rizon Jet chose London Biggin Hill Airport as the perfect location. The stunning new two-level FBO (fixed base operator) and VIP Terminal, designed to represent the very best in Arabic and European style, includes a 4,300m2 hangar facility, including workshops, battery rooms and kitchens.

Working with main contractor Civils Contracting, Zircon Flooring, one of the UK's leading resin flooring specialists, was appointed to install approximately 5,000m2 of hard wearing and slip resistant flooring surfaces. To achieve this, the company specified a wide range of market proven flooring products from Sika.

Before the application, Zircon Flooring cleaned and prepared all of the new floors with comprehensive shot blasting and surface grinding to create a flat, smooth surface for a more efficient application.

For the 3,000m2 main hangar floor, which will accommodate aircraft up to BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) and ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jetliner) size, Zircon Flooring specified the application of Sikafloor 81 Epocem and Sikafloor 263. Sikafloor 81 Epocem is a 3-component epoxy modified cementitious self smoothening floor topping and temporary moisture barrier. Used as a 2mm thick damp proof membrane, this was then topped with a 3mm layer of Sikafloor 263 to create the 5mm resin finish. Sikafloor 263 offers exceptional durability, abrasion and chemical resistance and is easily cleaned and maintained – ideal for a busy aircraft hangar.

To create clearly distinguishable areas in contrast to the light grey floor of the main hangar, Zircon marked out designated walkways using Sikafloor 264 and a matt finish Sikafloor 304, applying a darker grey surface with green outline to signify the safe walkway areas.

Sikafloor 264 was also used to provide resistant flooring for the back of house areas, which include a private office space, lounge area and an innovatively designed children’s play area.

In the areas of the hangar where maintenance work would be carried out the flooring was required to have an anti-static textured finish. To achieve this, Zircon flooring applied Sikafloor 264 ASN Thixo. A two part, textured, high-build coloured epoxy resin, it provides a liquid proof, gloss finish to the floor and also offers good levels of chemical and mechanical resistance.

To complete the interior’s stunning aesthetic, all floor joints were sealed using Sikaflex Pro3 WF and column bases grouted with Sika Armorex Armorcrete.

The Sikafloor system is part of Sika’s Ecoline range of resin based flooring products. Produced from next generation low allergy resin, to be more environmentally friendly for applicators, they are CE marked for performance. Available in tins and economically and ecologically advantageous drums, this can help reduce the amount of packaging required.

Now complete, the new Rizon Jet terminal facility provides vital fueling, ground handling and maintenance services for the company’s growing fleet of aircraft. Thanks to Zircon’s high quality application and the comprehensive range of Sika flooring products, the hangar will help Biggin Hill in its aim to establish itself as the leading private jet airport for London.
