The Challenge

Vision's most recent endeavour revolved around Industria, the UK's premier sustainable industrial development located in the River Road Employment Area, Barking. A multi-level structure, boasting a substantial 133,000 sq. ft. of floor space constructed on a reclaimed brownfield site, Industria represented an innovative challenge. The particular challenge at hand was twofold: to provide a robust waterproofing solution for the large-scale structure and to ensure a durable anti-skid surfacing treatment. This dual task was to be accomplished in the context of a bustling construction site, exposed to the whims of the weather and concurrently occupied by various trades.

The Action

In response to this challenge, Vision deployed the Decseal System from GCP Applied Technologies. This system employs a multi-component, rapid-cure coating based on ESSELAC resins. It was specially designed for elevated structures such as Industria, with applications on car park decks, ramps, pedestrian walkways, footbridges, and balconies. This waterproof membrane not only ensured the prevention of water ingress but also provided a skid and slip-resistant surface finish. Additionally, the system also provided robust protection to the structure against potential corrosion caused by water, oils, fuels, and chloride ions.

The Solution

Despite the logistical complexities and the weather-related uncertainties, Vision’s on-site team, backed by stellar support from the office-based team, successfully executed the task. They overcame the operational obstacles to deliver a top-quality waterproofing and anti-skid surfacing solution for Industria. The comprehensive package ensures longevity and safety for the structure, embodying the high standards of quality that Vision holds in high regard. The successful completion of the Industria project stands as a testament to Vision’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions under challenging circumstances, embodying their ethos of quality and resilience.
