The roofing works at Western Leisure Centre in Cardiff were completed directly for Cardiff County Council and were divided into two separate phases throughout the last 2 years.

The job involved the renewal of the flat roofs and installation of new Mansafe/Fall arrest system (pictured above). The existing flat roofs had been repeatedly overlaid in the past as they were made up of three different waterproofing systems upon a core sample taken by Bauder Waterproofing Ltd. Upon Bauder’s inspection it was recommended that the existing waterproofing was to be completely stripped back to the original deck, and a new BauderFLEX waterproofing system to be installed incorporating Bauder 120mm PIR FATE insulation to meet current building regulations.

Similar to the previous case studies this leisure centre remained live and in use while we carried out the roofing work. Our onsite Site Manager liaised with the client at the Leisure Centre daily to ensure smooth running of the site, resolving any issues or queries that were brought up. The rear area of the Leisure Centre was allocated to us to set up a secure compound, fully fenced off with Heras fencing to encapsulate the Welfare, Storage, and other materials. Ensuring the compound was completely secure was very important as intruders have previously tried gain access to our equipment.
