Seamless Protection: DVC Roofing’s SIKA Liquid Plastics Solution for Tyne Tunnel South Extract

Are you seeking top-tier roofing solutions for your project? DVC Commercial Roofing, experts in delivering impeccable results using Sika Liquid Plastics roofing systems. Our recent project in Newcastle exemplifies how we waterproof intricate structures with ease, ensuring long-lasting durability and protection against the elements.

Tyne Tunnel South Extract Project Requirements:

In Newcastle, we confronted a formidable roofing task involving the replacement of a single-ply waterproofing system. Meanwhile, the Tyne Tunnel South Extract project posed distinct hurdles due to its intricate design and exacting specifications. However, with numerous details like extract towers and intricate handrails intersecting the main box gutter, relying solely on single-ply proved cumbersome due to the extensive welding required at joints.

Our approach involved stripping the roof back to its concrete substrate, followed by the implementation of a comprehensive scheme featuring S/A Vapour Control and cut-to-fall insulation. To achieve a seamless waterproof membrane, we opted for the Decothane Ultra 20-year system from Sika Liquid Plastics.

The Decothane Ultra system is a revolutionary cold-applied solution that forms a flawless, seamless waterproof layer upon curing. Comprising a Decothane Ultra Base Coat reinforced with Reemat Premium glass fibre matting, topped off with a Decothane Ultra Top Coat in Slate Grey, this system ensures unparalleled protection against water ingress and structural damage.

One of the standout advantages of the Decothane Ultra system is its cold application process, eliminating the need for heat or naked flame during installation. This not only enhances safety during the works but also allows for seamless completion even while the building remains in use, minimizing disruptions to your operations.
