Hangar Refurbishment/Conversion

25 Oct 2010

Problem: Blackpool Zoo has recently undergone a major refurbishment and redevelopment programme converting four large brick hangars into a new entrance information centre cafe gift shop nursery and elephant house. The external facade of the building was constructed from old engineering brickworks and the Zoo wanted to update and brighten the external appearance.Solution: Gables offered a high performance polymer-modified render system with excellent adhesion to the hard engineering brickwork. This was over-coated with a compatible 15 year BBA certified weatherproof protective coating. The coating has strong elastomeric properties resistant to cracking and flaking which will ensure that despite the harsh elements of the Fylde coastline the buildings will look pristine for at least the 15 year guaranteed lifespan. Gables' Management Team provided a high quality service delivering the project both on time and on budget.

Problem:The school experienced water ingress through various numbers of its felted flat roofs. These roofs had become degraded over the years and were suffering from the effects of ponded water. Typical problem areas for Gables to address were felt blisters split joints previous failed repairs and stone chippings.Solution:Gables operatives removed all stone chippings and cleared and repaired drainage outlets. The whole roof area was power washed to remove all dirt and debris and then a 10 year waterproofing membrane system was applied. This is cold liquid applied to give the client a seamless watertight roof guaranteed against future water ingress for a minimum of 10 years.
