Details
Duratec was engaged by Parliamentary Services to remediate the front courtyard. The scope of works included:
- Removal of exposed aggregate topping slab.
- Installation of waterproofing membrane on the substrate slab.
- Reinstatement of the exposed aggregate finish.
- Installation of a new spoon drain the full length of the courtyard.
- Waterproofing of the fountain and retaining wall.
- Installation of a new combi flex joint.
- Reinstatement of asphalt.
- Remediation of two access ramps linking walkways either side of the courtyard.
Highlights
- The works were completed while the building was in operation and to a tight time schedule.
- After the slab was excavated, the extent of cracking was much more pronounced than initial estimates.
- The average depth of excavation during the project was up to 1.5m.
- A number of samples were tested until Duratec perfectly matched the specifications of the heritage exposed aggregate on the walkway ramps.
