Protecting a Hub of Agricultural Innovation
Selangor Fruit Valley (SFV) is an educational haven, offering visitors a chance to experience agriculture firsthand. In 2022, Unity Repair partnered with PKPS to address waterproofing concerns at the Agriculture Centre of Excellence (ACE) and Working Labs. This project ensured a watertight environment for research and learning, fostering a healthy and productive space for visitors and researchers alike.
Working Within Constraints: Addressing Challenges at a Tourist Destination
The project presented unique challenges due to SFV's role as a public attraction:
Budget Considerations
Finding a cost-effective waterproofing solution suitable for the flat roofs with honeycombed concrete slabs was crucial.
Work Schedule Restrictions
Working on weekdays only, while meeting a tight three-month deadline, demanded efficient project execution.
A Concealed Solution for Lasting Protection
Unity Repair addressed SFV's needs Concealed Waterproofing System which was protected by a screed layer. This two-part approach safeguards the waterproofing membrane from potential damage during future construction phases and ensures long-term performance.
From Leaky Labs to a Thriving Learning Center
Prior to the project, the ACE and Working Labs at SFV suffered from:
Active Leaks
Waterproofing issues led to leaks within the labs, compromising the indoor air quality and potentially affecting the well-being of occupants.
Structural Concerns
Leaks could contribute to long-term structural deterioration of the buildings.
Disrupted Learning Environment
Water leaks could create an unpleasant and potentially hazardous environment for visitors and researchers.
The successful project completion delivered a rejuvenated SFV:
Enhanced Indoor Air Quality
Eliminating leaks fosters a healthy and comfortable learning environment for visitors and researchers.
Improved Structural Integrity
A watertight building envelope safeguards the structure from water damage, ensuring its long-term functionality.
Uninterrupted Learning Experience
A leak-free environment allows for uninterrupted research and educational activities at SFV.
