The Project:
Old Acute Services building, Auckland Hospital

Date:
2006

The Client:
Auckland District Hospital Board

The Requirement:
To make repairs where required and recoat the existing finish to provide warranty extension. This building was waterproofed by Equus Industries in 1982 using a full Equus waterproof coating system and the system was then finished with Chevaline Colourglaze. A very high grade acrylic glaze designed to give maximum maintenance free life.

The Solution:
The underlying waterproof coating system is still in very good condition. The glaze coat has worn and whilst still in fair condition given its age was starting to show signs of wear and tear. The latest coating system consists of cleaning the surface, making minor repairs to window sills and other areas, then re-applying the top glaze coat only.

This project shows the value of applying a good system in the first instance and then merely maintaining the protective topcoat. As this project was originally completed by Equus Industries some 20 years ago we are still able to offer a continuation of a 10 year warranty.
