Our Government Project Expertise

A number of buildings within the Royal Berkshire Hospital site had been identified as having ingress of water from roofs that had passed their life expectancy. Our client was looking for a fast effective seal of these roofs, without causing any major disruption to the daily activities of the buildings, as they were all in full occupation.

Our solution was to clean & prepare the existing roof finish, apply Prokol primer, and in some instances lay roofing membrane consisting of an impregnated polyester reinforcement, coated on both sides with flexible coating bitumen and bottom side provided with a build‐in vapour diffusion layer based on diamond‐shaped profiled self‐adhesive SBS modified bitumen.

UK Gunite were appointed to undertake essential structural repair and refurbishment works to a section of the sea wall adjacent to Dover Port.

Following removal of the existing facing, the package included the application of dry spray concrete as well as extensive concrete repairs.

Initially, the existing substrate required a condition survey to ascertain the full extent of defective concrete.

Due to the tidal conditions, all materials used had to be rapid setting and specifically selected for each type of repair.
