Protecting a National Treasure
Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, also known as the "Blue Mosque," is a landmark of Malaysia and a place of worship cherished by the community. In 2022, Unity Repair undertook a crucial waterproofing project to safeguard the mosque's roof from water damage. This project ensured the mosque's structural integrity and preserved its beauty for future generations.
A Delicate Mission: Respecting the Mosque While Addressing Challenges
The project presented unique hurdles due to the mosque's significance and structure:
Preserving Tranquility
Minimizing disruption to prayer activities was paramount. Unity Repair implemented a phased approach, working during non-prayer hours and off-peak times.
Uneven Landscape
The mosque's roof features over 200 funnels, requiring meticulous waterproofing around these irregular shapes.
Existing System Removal
The project involved removing the outdated torch-on membrane waterproofing system before installing a new solution.
A Modern Solution for an Enduring Legacy
Unity Repair addressed the mosque's waterproofing needs with TPO Synthetic Membrane which offers several advantages:
Durability
The TPO membrane provides long-lasting protection against water ingress, safeguarding the mosque's structure for years to come.
Reflective Properties
The white TPO membrane reflects sunlight, contributing to a cooler interior environment and reduced energy consumption.
Minimal Maintenance
The TPO membrane's resistance to various elements minimizes the need for frequent maintenance.
From Leaking to Lasting: A Transformation Takes Shape
Prior to the project, the mosque's roof suffered from:
Water Leaks
The failing torch-on membrane waterproofing system allowed water to penetrate the roof, causing visible stains and stalactite formation.
Deteriorating Structure
Water damage could compromise the structural integrity of the mosque over time.
Aesthetic Concerns
Visible water damage could detract from the mosque's beauty.
The successful project completion delivered a rejuvenated Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah:
Enhanced Structural Protection
The new waterproofing system safeguards the mosque from water damage, ensuring its longevity.
Preserved Aesthetics
By eliminating leaks and preventing future water damage, the project preserves the mosque's architectural integrity and visual appeal.
Improved Sustainability
The TPO membrane's reflective properties and low-maintenance needs contribute to the mosque's long-term sustainability.
Overcoming Challenges for a Sustainable Future
While specific client testimonials are not available, the project's focus on preserving the mosque's architectural integrity and long-term sustainability speaks volumes about its value. Unity Repair's ability to overcome access challenges without disrupting mosque activities further highlights our commitment to respectful and efficient project execution.
Conclusion
The Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah project exemplifies Unity Repair's dedication to preserving historical structures. Our expertise in innovative waterproofing solutions and commitment to respectful execution ensure the continued sanctity and beauty of landmarks like the "Blue Mosque" for the benefit of the community.
