The installation of the pool and internal waterproofing was carried out by Pikehaven, for main contractor Midland Building Services, with Mapei products supplied by Construction Site Supplies.
During construction of the pool channels and tanks, Mapei Idrocrete KR 1000 powdered admixture was added to the concrete to reduce permeability. To form the new pool shell, Idrocrete KR 1000 was added to concrete to reduce its permeability, and Idrostop waterproofing expanding rubber profiles were used to create watertight construction joints. Once formed, the drainage channels were waterproofed with Planiseal 88 osmotic cementitious mortar. Pipe joints were sealed with Mapeproof Swell - a moisture expanding, rubber-based hydrophilic sealant - and voids were repaired with Mapemortar HB R3 shrinkage compensated repair mortar. |
