Perfect PUDLO Performance
PUDLO concentrated waterproofing powder was used in the redevelopment of the Royal Albert Hall - this year's Supreme Winner at the Construction Awards.
Thanks to its exceptional ease of use and the on-site presence of experts from the David Ball Group, Pudlo CWP was the preferred choice for the project.
The effectiveness of the water bar was further ensured by the use of hDB Waterstop - a construction joint waterproofing strip with a life expectancy of over 120 years - and Intaflex PU 25, a waterproof mastic joint sealant.
David Ball comments: "This project was actually quite complex and we were asked to assist the engineers with the waterproofing specifications at quite an early stage in the planning process - a dialogue that influenced both the design of the precast concrete mix for the subway's box culvert sections, and the actual installation of the sections on site.".
