PROJECT CASE STUDY AIS ARENA AUSTRALIA, CANBERRA 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 3 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLED 1980 4 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLED 1980 5 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSPECTION 2012 6 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSPECTION 2012 7 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSPECTION 2012 8 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSPECTION 2012 9 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY PATCH INSTALLED 2008 Beware of cheap imitations.

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 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLATION JAN/FEB 2013 13 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLATION JAN/FEB 2013 14 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLATION JAN/FEB 2013 15 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLATION JAN/FEB 2013 16 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLATION JAN/FEB 2013 17 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLATION JAN/FEB 2013 18 AIS ARENA CASE STUDY INSTALLATION JAN/FEB 2013 19 END .
