Alumasc put green heart back into
Walton-on-Thames
Alumasc's Hydrotech Structural Waterproofing and ZinCo Green Roof Systems have been used at The Heart, a new residential and retail complex in the centre of Walton-on Thames.
This new concept in urban living comprises a significant retail development at ground floor level above which a 4000m2 secret garden was created for the enjoyment of the residents of The Heart's 379 apartments The developers, O and H, sought waterproofing and green roofing systems from Alumasc as they were confident that the company could provide all the structural elements to create the watertight platform area and that they had the landscaping knowhow to ensure its long term survival

Award winning green roof at Royal Arsenal
Alumasc supplied the ZinCo Green Roof system, along with Hydrotech structural waterproofing, for award-winning, landscaped green roof at the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich.
Hydrotech Structural Waterproofing, designed to last for the lifetime of the building, was chosen on account of its track record of high performance and its durability when combined with green roof constructions.
The ZinCo green roof was particularly complex due to the requirement for both intensive and extensive planting; intensive green roof elements complement the scheme's overall circular design whilst elaborate planters, containing a variety of leafy plug plants and mature trees, were constructed and made watertight to sit alongside the communal seating areas and walkways.
Alumasc provided a 20 year warranty on completion of the project, successfully achieved in conjunction with their approved contractor, Allan Roofing.
The project's architects were EPR Architects of London.
