TRITON SYSTEMS WATERPROOFS ICF SUB-STRUCTURE FOR LISTED FARMHOUSE EXTENSION
Products from the range of Triton Systems have been used to waterproof a semi-buried single storey extension to an old listed farmhouse in Sussex . The contract , features the use of Insulated Concrete Formwork ( ICF ) to construct the 30 metre long curving walls which have then been protected by Archer Specialist Treatments , using Triton ’ s EX100 membrane and Double Drain barrier to direct groundwater into a land drain around the base . Triton fillet was also used at the floor / wall junction to prevent moisture penetrating the joint .
Paul Halliwell , Director of Archer Specialist Treatments , commented : “ This has been a relatively routine project for us - waterproofing a retaining wall - so we did not need to call on Triton Systems for design assistance on this occasion , but we do get very good support from our area sales manager , Steve West : which is one of the reasons I ’ ve stuck with the company for so long as our supplier of waterproofing systems . In the two decades or more we ’ ve been using Triton , we have come to depend on the product range ’ s quality and reliability for all types of residential projects in different ground conditions .” www . osmouk . com
