Celtic Manor in Newport, Wales, is a 5-star resort set in more than 2000 acres of scenic parkland. Home of the 2010 Ryder Cup and host venue of the NATO Summit 2014, this historic 19th century Manor House provides a complete experience for business, leisure and golf travellers.
Tywi Damp Proofing, a Delta Registered Installer, was commissioned to create a waterproofing system for the newly constructed golf facilities at the resort. The specified structure was earth-retaining at one end and constructed from reinforced concrete.
Waterproofing of the structure needed to meet BS 8102:2009, the British Standard for protection against water from the ground. In addition, BS 8102:2009 requires waterproofing should be designed with the expectation of potential pressure head of water at some point during the structure's lifetime, and that the waterproofing system should be easily maintainable and repairable.
Working with assistance from Delta’s Technical Consultant, Paul Callaghan, Tywi Damp Proofing proposed using a combined Delta System. The main facilities slab was recessed below external ground level and required to be Grade 3 habitable. This has been protected by two coats of Koster Deuxan 2C, a polymer modified bitumen thick film sealant for waterproofing construction.
Koster Deuxan 2C is designed for the secure and permanent exterior waterproofing of basement walls, foundations, floorplates and for intermediate waterproofing of balconies, terraces as well as for wet and damp rooms. Koster Deuxan 2C is also suited for the intermediate waterproofing underneath screeds and for bonding insulation and drainage boards.
Prior to backfill, Delta GeoDrain Quattro - a drainage protection system/external waterproofing membrane that works in conjunction with Type A External Waterproofing systems - was installed as a drainage and protection membrane. This was flashed in and buried just below the external ground level using a Delta MS Profile Capping Strip.
A maintainable Delta Type C System was incorporated to the inside of the structure to ensure the project was fully 'locked down'.
When combining systems in order to minimise the risks or negate the need for future remedial measures, consideration to the compatibility of the combining systems was given. By using two systems produced by one manufacturer, Tywi Damp Proofing were able to offer reassurances of system compatibility.
The customer was delighted with Tywi Damp Proofing’s customer service, design and build ethos. All Delta Registered Installer Partners have extensive experience of working with and installing Delta Systems, meaning customers can be confident of a quick, efficient installation, carried out with minimum disruption.
