The majority of drain mats, including Laurenco-Drain, include a built-in filter fabric. NOTE: the designer on record called for an additional filter fabric above the drain mat. Progress photo (showing from left to right): Filter fabric, drain mat, root barrier, protection board, and 2-layers of the waterproofing system. The roll protection sheet is also faster to install and easier for crews to handle. Since completion of this project, Laurenco has developed a roll-applied, sanded surface protection course that allows flood-testing to be completed after the installation of protection sheet, if desired. Protection board is being set in a Laurenco Adhesive at approximately 2-gallons/100 square feet. Once the project is 100% completed with both layers, a flood-test per ASTM D-5957 or EFVM (electronic field vector mapping) will be conducted. The second layer will commence once first layer is complete. This application process is not required, however, it allows the building operations to resume quicker without the potential risk of leaks from a staged construction.ĩ9% complete with first layer installation. Another advantage to the Laurenco System is the ability to get the project completely dried-in with 1-layer prior to the installation of the second layer. The left side of the photo shows approximately 1/3 of the roof surface covered with 1-layer of the Laurenco Waterproofing System. Time equals money! The damaged concrete substrate was repaired and all drains were removed and installed with new bi-level (2-stage) drains. The Laurenco Waterproofing System only requires a surface dry condition for application, again saving time in the re-roofing process. Additionally, the concrete substrate had been subjected to continued wetting due to the leaking roof. This would have added cost and time to the project. Other systems would have required extensive scarification to provide a clean substrate. The Laurenco Waterproofing System was chosen for this job because the system can be installed over the existing residue (asphalt & coal-tar-pitch) already present on the roof. The vegetative roofing and waterproofing weathered the storm without any damage!Įxisting roofing being removed to exposed the structural concrete deck. Also, it should be noted that this project was completed BEFORE the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. Below is an example of the installation of a green roof over the old ambulatory building (currently the “F” Building) that used the Laurenco Waterproofing System. The hospital was closed in 2005 and work has begun to renovate all 8 buildings. the work was 12 meters high and the circular construction ranged 6 meters in diameter.The Beacon is a new luxury apartment complex sprouting from the remnants of the old Jersey City Medical Center. BAKEN was made with 7,800 3 watt power LEDs, each equipped with a 10-degree lens, able to cover multiple kilometers in distance. the heartbeat was compiled out of the low end of the most used kicks (bass-drums) in dance music. a set of subwoofers was beating the heart around slowly. While BAKEN was meant to be experienced from a distance, a small surprise awaited observers as they got closer. in this way, the project emphasized the deafening silence of ADE 2020, which has announced a digital version of the event in light of COVID-19. When observed intently, viewers could even distinguish an animated heartbeat: a sound translated to light, without being audible. it could even be interpreted as a subtle cry for help. unlike ancient fire signals that were lit to attract attention and traditional lighthouses that help to navigate and guide lost travelers, BAKEN was designed to communicate a sign of life. Images by dammes mees kieft and toon rooijmansīAKEN was realized in collaboration with ampco flashlight and van ham tenten & podia, and commissioned by stichting NDSM werf for the 2020 edition of amsterdam dance event (ADE) - a five-day electronic music festival. called ‘BAKEN’ - dutch for beacon - the temporary art piece was conceived as ‘a calming lantern on the horizon in these uncertain times.’ the work was shut down by port authorities on the second day after it was erected, but luckily these images were shot before. Boris acket, chris van meer and lumus instruments have collaborated to give the city of amsterdam its very own lighthouse.
