Plazas/IRMA Midtown Plaza – New York City
Challenge
Complete replacement of the 80,000-square-foot existing garden plaza in 1992 to provide waterproof wearing surface to accommodate difficult phasing during construction.
Solution
Complete edge-to-edge application of Kemperol membrane including public areas, sophisticated network of planters and detailed fountain elements.
The Islander – Miami Beach, Florida
Challenge
Required a product that could adapt to a difficult transition between the new roof and IRMA/plaza deck area.
The product needed to bond seamlessly with an adjoining rooftop terrace configuration while preventing damage from excessive leaks into the condominium units below.
Solution
Applied Kemperol BR membrane to concrete deck with mudset pavers, effortlessly encapsulating entire project area including multiple penetrations and meeting the strict Miami-Dade County hurricane, tropical storm and wind resistance standards necessary for the Miami Beach-located condominium complex.
Independence Plaza – New York City
Challenge
Project needed to be phased over three years, while accommodating difficult
scheduling logistics without interruption of warranty service. The 90,000
square-foot project was complicated by extensive green and overburden assemblies.
Solution
Complete edge-to-edge application of Kemperol membrane, both vertical and horizontal. The full adhesion of the membrane to the existing structure allowed the plaza to maintain absolute water tightness. The durability of the product allowed the contractor to install all other assemblies
without breaching membrane integrity.
Time-Life/McGraw Hill Plazas – New York City
Challenge
The management company for both properties required a highly durable, odorless system designed to exceed standard 20-year limitations, to protect vast high profile tenant space and high-traffic designer overburden assemblies. Design elements of exposed planters, fountain surfaces and other architectural features had to be integrated without the use of dissimilar materials to transition intricate detailing.
Solution
Installed one layer of odorless, solvent-free, UV-stable, high performance, low-VOC Kemperol 2K-PUR membrane over existing surface, which received asphalt setting bed and paver assembly.
