Project Overview
This specialized project focused on the complete overhaul, repair, and upgrade of the roofing system for a large-scale villa (Al Badia Villa) managed by Waagner BS. The primary objective was to address existing structural vulnerabilities and water ingress issues, replacing the old system with a modern, highly durable, and thermally efficient roofing solution. The work required careful planning to minimize disruption and adhere to strict quality and safety standards.
Scope of Work
-
Detailed Structural Assessment: Comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the existing roof structure, substrate, and drainage system to identify all points of failure.
-
Full Roof System Replacement: Complete removal of the existing roofing layers, installation of new structural decking, and application of a high-performance, multilayer waterproofing membrane (e.g., torch-on bitumen or PVC/TPO).
-
Thermal Insulation Upgrade: Installation of new, high-density thermal insulation boards to significantly improve the villa’s energy efficiency and reduce cooling loads.
-
Drainage & Water Management: Installation of new and improved roof drains, scuppers, and ensuring optimal slope for efficient rainwater runoff.
-
Parapet Wall & Flashing Work: Repair and re-finishing of all parapet walls and installation of new, durable metal flashing around penetrations and edges to ensure long-term waterproofing integrity.
Project Highlights
-
Enhanced Waterproofing Integrity: Implementation of a premium, multi-layered waterproofing system guaranteed for extended performance against harsh weather conditions.
-
Significant Thermal Performance: The upgraded insulation dramatically improved the villa’s U-value, contributing to substantial energy savings for the end-user.
-
Minimal Disruption: Execution of the project with precise scheduling and stringent site management protocols to ensure minimal impact on the villa occupants and surrounding areas.
-
High Safety Standards: All work performed at height adhered strictly to international safety regulations, utilizing certified scaffolding and fall protection systems.
Project Outcome
The Al Badia Villa roof project was successfully completed, delivering a fully sealed, structurally sound, and thermally superior roofing system. The villa is now protected by a durable, modern roof solution that guarantees leak-free performance and contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the property.
