PROJECT CASE STUDY

A warranted planter tanking system protected occupied spaces below.

Waterseal installed a reinforced, root-resistant tanking system to rooftop and podium planters at a Perth student accommodation development.

THE CHALLENGE

Rooftop and podium planters sat above occupiable areas.

The development required long-term tanking to rooftop and podium-level planters, where soil, roots and retained water created a sustained waterproofing risk above occupied internal spaces.

THE SOLUTION

A double-layer, reinforced and root-resistant membrane.

Waterseal installed a double-layer reinforced bitumen sheet membrane with heat-welded joints and anti-root properties, specified with a 20-year warranty.

THE OUTCOME

Long-term tanking protection beneath the planter build-up.

The completed membrane system provided a continuous, reinforced and root-resistant waterproofing layer between the planters and occupied areas below.
