Torch on membrane waterproofing works at Khinds HQ Shah Alam
At Vseal Engineering, we take pride in delivering durable and reliable waterproofing solutions for our clients. One of our recent projects brought us to Khind’s Headquarters in Shah Alam, where we implemented our advanced torch-on membrane waterproofing system to resolve persistent roof leaks and ensure long-term protection for this iconic commercial building.
The Challenge: Persistent Roof Leaks
Khind HQ faced significant challenges with roof leaks, particularly during Malaysia’s rainy seasons. The existing waterproofing system had deteriorated over time, leading to water ingress that disrupted operations and threatened the building’s structural integrity. The flat roof design further compounded the issue, as stagnant water pooled in certain areas, creating weak points in the aging waterproofing layer.
Khind needed a solution that was not only effective but also long-lasting, to minimize future maintenance and disruptions.
Our Solution: Torch-On Membrane Waterproofing
After conducting a thorough inspection of the rooftop, our team recommended torch-on membrane waterproofing as the ideal solution. This method offered Khind:
- Seamless Waterproofing: Eliminating joints and gaps that could become potential leak points.
- UV and Heat Resistance: Perfect for Malaysia’s intense tropical heat and heavy rainfall.
- Durability: A long-lasting solution designed to withstand the wear and tear of a commercial building’s rooftop.
The Process: Precision and Expertise
- Surface Preparation:
The roof was cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and remnants of the previous waterproofing layer. This step ensured optimal adhesion of the torch-on membrane.
- Priming:
A high-quality bitumen-based primer was applied to enhance the bonding strength between the membrane and the roof surface.
- Torch-On Application:
Using high-grade bitumen-based membranes, our team carefully heated the material with a blowtorch and adhered it seamlessly to the roof. Special attention was given to overlapping the sheets and sealing edges to eliminate potential weak spots.
- Final Inspection:
Once installed, the membrane was inspected to ensure complete coverage and a uniform application.
The Results: A Leak-Free, Protected Rooftop
The torch-on membrane waterproofing system provided Khind’s HQ with a fully waterproof, durable, and low-maintenance roof. The transformation was immediate—no more water pooling, no more leaks, and a rooftop that could withstand Malaysia’s unpredictable weather for decades.
By choosing Vseal Engineering, Khind not only resolved their roofing issues but also invested in a long-term solution that aligned with their operational needs and sustainability goals.
