EDEN PARK
Waterproofing Of Eden Park Stadium
Eden Park Stadium required a new Waterproofing Coating for a section of their stands, replacing the old worn out system as part of there maintenance program.


OVERVIEW
Solid Floors worked with Flowcrete International and RCP to select the right coating system for this maintenance work that would provide a long life cycler solution. Flowcrete Deckshield ED Rapide was selected as the new Waterproofing Coating due to its Durability, Flexible, ease of Maintenance and it High UV qualities.
The Deckshield Ed Rapide coating is a multiple layer system that incorporates a Flexible Waterproofing Membrane, a Semi-flexible Non–slip Wear-coat and a UV resistant Top-coat.

The products used for the job were a mix of locally supplied but internationally sourced aggregates, mixed with Mapei’s epoxy resin binder tinted specifically for each individual colour requirement.
​
The installation was undertaken over the course of a week, on night works so as to allow other trades access during the day.
​
Terrazzo flooring systems require careful grinding and polishing to ensure that the finish is up to a high standard. Solid Floors takes care of the finishing process with their own in-house grinding and polishing team, using HTC technology. Undertaking this important part of the process ourselves means we can guarantee the highest quality finish for our clients.
