V & A Waterfront: Cape Town
SCOPE OF WORKS: Rectification and maintenance of common areas, including rectification of failed deck waterproofing, pool installations, basement parking floors and joint sealant at window and door frames.
COMMENT: Flood tests were conducted on the walkways as visible evidence of leakage was noticed at ground floor units. The stalactites showed the green residue of our fluorescent trace dye, which indicated a definite leak from the walkway and planter areas.
Due to the construction layout of the structure, we recommended that all areas of concern be waterproofed. This included all walkways and balconies.
