PROJECT CASE STUDY AIS ARENA AUSTRALIA, AIS ARENA CASE STUDY BACKGROUND INSTALLED 1980

. AIS arena is situated in Bruce, Canberra and is part of the Australian Institute of Sport . The construction is a hollow core concrete panel roof . The roof membrane that was installed was Sarnafil G214-44e PVC, fully adhered with Sarnacol 2170 adhesive . The roof was installed in 1980… . …so that’s 33 years of trouble-free service . Canberra’s climate is one of the harshest in Australia with regular temperature differentials of between -5 and +25 degrees C . In January 2013, Sarnafil G410-20L Felt was installed over the existing membrane, fully adhered with Sarnacol 2170 . The reason the existing membrane was left in place is because it was impossible to remove AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLED 1980

10 THE RE-ROOF PROJECT - JANUARY 2013 AIS ARENA RE-ROOF

. The client was that happy with the performance of the initial Sarnafil PVC system they didn’t look at any other brand when it came to the re-roof project

. We discussed the requirements of the project with the client and it soon became apparent that a white energy smart membrane was required to save on cooling costs in the summer months

. Also, a 20 year warranty was required so a 2.0mm membrane was installed

. The re-roof installation took six weeks to complete
