recommended experienced flooring contractors were nominated by Sika for work in each state. along with this, independent testing was commissioned to confirm the com-patibility of the Sikafloor systems with the Coca Cola amatil products and conditions.

Both VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and long term ex-posure levels were tested internally, resulting in the three Si-kafloor options in the national specification being approved by Coca Cola amatil for use in their plants.

Turn-around time on these projects was a vital element, so as not to disrupt production and productivity within each plant. in each case Sika’s market field manager for flooring, anthony Lewis, as well as local Technical representatives held pre-project meetings to evaluate the specific local re-quirements of each site with Coca Cola amatil Project en-gineers.

Prior to the major installation, further site meetings were held with all parties involved, including the head contrac-tor, flooring installer and our product engineers to cover key elements of the product and method statements to ensure successful implementation. Due to the success of the speci-fied products and installation, the Sikafloor System has been adopted as the preferred protection option specified for the ongoing work on all Coca Cola amatil plants.

Coca Cola amatil has embarked on a national upgrade of bottling lines in all of their production facilities. Bottling line upgrades have been installed in Sydney, melbourne ad-elaide and Perth, with plans for upgrades in all production facilities to be completed by the end of 2013.

Sika australia met with the engineering and project manage-ment team to formulate a national specification designed to comply with all relevant standards and solve many of the problems with the existing flooring options, such as expo-sure levels and durability.

Sika presented a 3 option approach for the specification, Light, medium and Heavy Duty systems, to suit the different areas of the plant. The Light system option was Sikafloor-264T High build coating, a 2-part epoxy textured roller and seal coat. The medium system option was Sikafloor-263nS, a Solvent free, Coloured, Universal epoxy resin Based flooring System. The Heavy Duty product used was the Si-kafloor 22n Purcem, a textured self-levelling polyurethane screed with anti-slip properties.

following successful installations in the Coca Cola amatil Sydney production plant, Sika presented a specification blueprint for the sites nationally, which was accepted by the engineering and project management team based on the success of the Sydney implementation.

WATER pURIFIcATION, ARGENTINA

water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. The standards for drinking water quality are typically set by governments or by international standards. These standards will normally set minimum and maximumconcentrations of contaminants for the use that is to be made of the water.

it is not possible to tell whether water is of an appropriate qual-ity by visual examination. Simple procedures such as boiling or the use of a household activated carbon filter are notsufficient for treating all the possible contaminants that may be present in water from an unknown source.

for the construction of the water Purification Plant in the north-side of Buenos aires, the capital of argentina, it was necessary to complete the infrastructure for raw water supply, its puri-fication and subsequent distribution to consumption outlets. The water purification plant will be placed within 16 ha of land in the Tigre neighborhood, which will process a water flow of 1’200’000 m³/day (equivalent to 80’000 tankers), sufficient to meet the demand of 2.5 million inhabitants.

Location : on apipé yacyretá breaks in the alto Parana, argen-tina’s Corrientes between laprovincia and Paraguayan depart-ment of misiones.

Sika products used : Plastimixer®-C, fro-Be®-C, SikaLatex®, igas®-Tira, antisol® Standard, Sikadur® -31, 32 gel, 42 and 51, Sikagard® -65, -212 Sikagrout®, intraplast®, SeParOL® metal and wood.

raw water is to be transported to the plant through a 3.60 m³-diameter, 15 km-long underground tunnel. Drinking water will be distributed to consumption outlets through 3 aqueductswhich will be made out of 1200 mm-diameter, 40 km-long cast iron. The plant was built to divide the supply required for the project to construct the 15 km tunnel that will link the river Par-aná with the water treatment plant. Besides product support,Sika argentina performs lab tests, enables users to use prod-ucts successfully and develops products for special needs. Sika ViscoCrete was used the most, with over 70’000 m³ beingapplied. furthermore over 14 tons of steel were used.

The works are part of the “northern area Purification System” which seeks to solve the problems of water supply in the north of Buenos aires, and is therefore of vital importance to the sus-tainable development of the region. in recent years, this area has undergone major real estate development and has strong future prospects – a development that severely limits the sup-ply of groundwater, which is already on the edge of the known parameters for drinking water.

GREEN ROOFING FOR ThE FUTURE

Sika has provided the green roof waterproofing membrane for australia’s largest desalination plant as a part of the Victorian Government’s recently completed construction project in Wonthaggi. The green roof, covering a total area of 26,000 square metres and incorporating 100,000 plants, is the larg-est of its kind in the southern hemisphere and forms an important part of the project’s landscape architecture. Providing acoustic protection, corrosion resistance, thermal control and reduced maintenance, the roof uti-lises over 50,000 meters of Sika® Sarnafil®, which cre-ates a waterproof barrier for the lightweight, structural ply substrate.

according to geoff Heard of fytogreen, the green roof builder and designer, the site and scale of the roof pre-sented a number of challenges. “weather hampering construction, design modifications to comply with the 1 in 100 year wind storm event for stability, and the lack of pre-existing green roof standards for australia were all major considerations. ”

The thin profile green roof, requiring just a few inches of media, incorporates patterns using a rich tapestry of indig-enous vegetation tolerant of high heat, salt drift, drought and wind. Located in a revegetated ecological reserve, the desalination plant required a design which made the structure barely visible from all public viewing points.

The green roof helps to integrate the building into the environment and enables the continued bio-diversity of the site in its regeneration, acoustic moderation and storm water management.

“The waterproofing membrane had to allow for potential movement from kilometres of joints, for which the Sika® Sarnafil® ‘g series’ polymeric sheet is ideally suited,” said Heard. “UV, root resistance & life expectancy in ex-cess of 35 years (independently certified by BBa Uk), easily met the 25 year design requirement. and compat-ibility with the electronic iLD (international leak detec-tion) system was paramount to enable quality checks to occur prior to Sika’s handover to fytogreen & after fytogreen had completed its construction.”

faulty seams are a common source of leaks in green roofs. Some waterproofing membranes use sealants, adhesives or tapes to secure the seams. Sika Sarnafil’s membrane is thermoplastic, meaning seams and flash-ings are welded together using Sika® Sarnafil®’s auto-matic hot-air welder, resulting in one monolithic layer of material that’s impervious to moisture infiltration & root ingress.

“modern techniques for leak detection and high qual-ity membranes like Sarnafil significantly reduce the per-ceived risk associated with green roofs,” added Heard. “adherence to a well-honed green roof construction method and iTP check procedure enabled 26,000 square metres of green roof to be installed without one breach of the membrane during the roof garden installation phase, a testament to the membrane quality

and fytogreen’s attention to detail.”

The waterproofing membrane will provide ongoing pro-tection to the structure from the intensely damp environ-ment, allowing for ongoing irrigation & resistance to root penetration.

“green roofs are becoming a more common and desir-able roofing option, turning some of our green-starved cities into an urban oasis,” says Sika project manager, Jason Jansz. “as in this case, a green roof can also help to sympathetically integrate a larger structure into a more rural setting and encourage wildlife to flourish.”

Sika products and solutions are an important part of the whole build, from green roof to chemical resistant linings in storage bunds, elastic waterproofing membranes in the brine holding facilities, grouting and anchoring mass storage vessels and turbines, concrete repair and sealing of construction joints, Sika systems plays an important role from roof to floor. Overall, there was a wide range of products used including Sarnafil®g410 L, Sikagard®-63n, Sikadur®-52, Sikadur®-42mP, Sikagrout®-Deep Pour, Sikagrout®-gP, Sikafloor®-2530w, Sikafloor®-400n, Sikaflex® and Sarnacol®-2142S.

mid-grey tone, creating depth and contrast with other retaining walls, and linking to the grey concrete used in the core of the library structure. The balance of colour in this project is key to achieving the vision set out by the architect, to create both a bold and comforting space for visitors to the University.

One of the most interesting applications of concrete is in the full-height precast panel screen walls used along the northern façade of the podium, incorporating a framed glass balustrade above a metal louvre screen.

Sika australia currently have a strong business relationship with the team from Hanson Concrete, contributing to their specialty concrete projects and products. Through the supply of coloured pigments, Sika are becoming more and more involved in high profile concrete projects, providing our global innovative Solutions and Local knowledge.

cOLOURED cONcRETE AND cONSTRUcTION

Since the introduction of the Colorflo® system, Sika have grown their involvement in concrete admixtures for public spaces. a classic example of this is the macquarie University Library in Sydney, where concrete plays a critical role in the delivery of the library, not just as the framework for the building but in defining the site and its spatial zones.

The new macquarie University Library is a remarkable building, inspired by the bushland environment of north west Sydney, where the campus is located. The building sits both on and within its landscape, with the leaf-shaped wings of the main entrance fanning out to embrace a paved forecourt overlooking the new University Common.

There are four new pedestrian routes that have been integrated into the design, north over and around the building and its ‘underground’ podium. These defining concrete elements include insitu retaining walls, terraces and of course the pathways. These insitu off-form concrete walls intersect to define four raised, triangular grassed planes.

it is the colours used in these areas that creates the iconic look of the concrete. Some areas, particularly the retaining walls and north-south pathways, are coloured in the Sika Colorflo® Snow tone, an off-white concrete ideal for bringing light and architectural interest into a space. The remaining east-west retaining walls are coloured in the Sika Colorflo®

TaSCO stands for The australian Sawmilling Company Pty Ltd, a privately owned, medium-sized timber manufactur-er. Created in 1996 from the need to produce high quality product from smaller type radiata pine logs, these products are supplied to both the domestic and export market suc-cessfully through Tasco’s sawmilling and remanufacturing divisions.

The recent expansion of the existing Bombala Timber Treatment Plant was completed in December of 2012 and is now up and running, increasing the output of softwood log from 106,000 to 300,000 tonnes per year.

Design builder, Beca, required a membrane system for the expansion of this Timber plant. Sika were asked to provide a solution for the job, confidently putting forward the Si-kaProof® a waterproofing membrane. The key requirement for this membrane was to offer a Chemical resistance from the CCa Chemical used in the treatment process of the timber; and to provide ground water protection in the event of chemical leaks, or spillages within the process plant of the CCa Chemical. SikaProof a meets these requirements, with all connections and detailing being independently cer-tified for watertight integrity.

SikaProof® a is a flexible polyolefin based membrane that features proven longevity and very good chemical resist-ance. SikaProof® a was chosen for its containment applica-

tion, to protect groundwater from potential comtamination due to chemicals used in the timber treatment process

after completion of the first stage of construction with Beca, and main contractor, Zauner Construction, were very impressed with the speed of product application, and therefor the ability to return to normal construction as soon as possible. This is the first application of SikaProof a outside of germany since product release in late 2011.The entire system was offered with a 20 year warranty, as it considered standard for many of Sika’s products.

according to a TaSCO media release, the expansion of the Bombala Timber Treatment Plant has created over 60 direct construction jobs, adding to the mill’s current 87 local employees. Sika is proud to partner with local busi-nesses within the Bombala region, providing them with a unique waterproofing system.

GREEN ROOFiNG & SuSTaiNaBiLiTy“green” roofs are one of the most exciting developments in sustainable building design. Sometimes called vegetated roofs, eco roofs, or living roofs, green roofs offer a number of sustainable advantages on an otherwise empty, unused space.

Depending on load capabilities and other application-driven requirements, green roofs can be planted with herbs, grass-es, flowers, even trees, in an exciting variety of colors, tex-tures, scents and heights. Patios and walkways can become a useable part of the roof environment. Today it’s clear: veg-etated roofs offer many social, environmental and economic benefits.

ThE BENEFITS GREENROOFING INcLUDE:

Reduce storm water run-off, reducing the stress on urban sewer systems and decreases run-off related pollution

insulating qualities mean reduced energy costs for building owners

air quality improvement – lower rooftop temperatures mean less smog from the “urban heat island effect”

Noise pollution reduction

Extended life of the roof system due to moderated temperature & protection from everyday wear and tear.

There are two key ways that you can lay out your green roof, which are an extensive system and an intensive system. ex-tensive green roofing systems consist of lightweight, natu-ralistic planting that provides extensive plant cover with mini-mal maintenance.

intensive green roofing Systems are planted areas generally consisting of perennials, shrubs, trees and/or turf, effectively creating a traditional english garden at roof level. generally laid out in sections to include usable areas of terraces and paths, alternating with intensively planted areas & planters.

green roofs are becoming a more common and desirable roofing option, turning some of our green-starved cities into an urban oasis. They will become a key part of construction as sustainability becomes more and more relevant in all as-pects of construction.

for the past 100 years, Hydro Tasmania have pioneered renewable energy development in australia. as australia’s largest producer of renewable energy, they use water and wind to produce energy that is sold nationally, trading exclusively to the australian market.

recently the company embarked on their latest project, the musselroe Bay wind farm Project, with 56 wind turbines having been installed in June of 2012. Sika became involved in the project for the construction of the turbine bases themselves.

These large footings held were made up of over 510 cubic metres of concrete per base, and needed to be supplied at a very low water-to- cement ratio.

To ensure the concrete was workable and able to be pumped, HazellBro’s used Sika Viscocrete® PCHrf2 , a high range water reducer in the concrete, allowing for a higher than normal slump and flow.

The contractors on this job were HazellBro’s Civil Contracting, a family business and long term user of mobile batching plants throughout Tasmania. HazellBro’s have used Sika products extensively in the past, and had a great working relationship with personnel from the melbourne office, as well as the Tasmanian office. This meant that the contractors knew the quality of Sika products and had

adequate training to ensure that they got the job done right the first time.

for this demanding project, the biggest obstacle was the location of the wind farm with exposure to variable environment conditions. Located on the far north eastern tip of Tasmania, the musselroe Bay area is often exposed to low temperature and high strength low temperature winds, which is a perfect location for a wind farm.

exposure to variable environment conditions could have caused significant issues on the workable condition of the concrete including plastic shrinkage and or thermal cracking. with the combination of HazellBro’s competent placing and good mix design, and the use of Sika Viscocrete® PCHrf2 admixture, which resulted in a highly workable concrete with excellent slump retention to allow for pumping and placing for the job, this was clearly avoided and the job was successfully completed.

Sika’s Refurbishment product offering of Cementitious Repair Mortars in australia has experienced steady and continual growth over the past 15 years. This growth has been attributed to a good quality product range using the best technical knowledge and materials available at the time of development.

The range has seen little change over the years other than minor modifications with the the range delivering a number of repair products available to meet most repair requirements. The range on offer could be discribed as “simple” but effective in the repair strategy of new con-struction and chloride induced spalling repairs but still offering the full system of repair.

with the introduction of the european Standards en1504 Sika international saw this as a great opportunity to im-prove on the range and as a result have provided Sika globally a new range of repair mortars and systems to comply with the en1504 standard.

This new range offers numerous features and benefits over the existing range that include, reduced drying shrinkage, improved mixing and application, independ-ant testing for installation under dynamic load applica-tions. aggressive environmental influences, the effects of harsh coastal environments, design and construction faults can all cause concrete damage including corro-sion of the steel reinforcement. Sika provides an exten-sive range of systems and products for the durable re-pair of these defects.

australia’s coast line is one of the harshest and most corrosive environments in the world. with approximate-ly 70% of the population living near the coast this means there are many concrete structures exposed daily to the harsh environment of the sea. Chlorides and the en-vironment are continually attacking the concrete and this attack can lead to corrosion of the reinforcing steel. Once chloride corrosion to the steel has begun this can lead to expensive repairs being required and can lead to the premature failure of the structure.

WhAT IS A hYDROphOBIc ImpREGNATION AND hOW DOES IT WORK?

a hydrophobic impregnation is a surface applied, invis-ible, non-film forming protection system, that can very effectively increase the durabilityof a concrete structure. Due to the small size of the mono-molecular layer, there is little or no change in its aesthetic appearance.

Compared to film forming coating systems, the surface applied hydrophobic impregnations penetrate the sur-face pores and capillaries, so concrete can be protected against the penetration of moisture and pollutants with specially formulated Sika impregnations, coatings and other surface treatments.

in addition to helping maintain a structure’s integrity and value, these reduce contamination and prevent the growth of moss and algae. attractive fair-faced concrete can therefore retain its architectural appearance. The surface protection can be colourless, transparent or col-oured according to the specific projects design.

as Bathrooms, kitchens and wet areas become more and more adventurous with colour, its important that the finishing touches to these areas work with the overall aesthetic.

To meet this need, Sika have recently released a new range of Silicone colours, called Sikasil®-CaP. These colours are perfectly suited for use in wet areas, and come in a wide range of 15 fashionable colours.

with colours ranging from Pewter to Taupe, you know that there will be a colour in the range to provide the perfect finishing touch to your bathroom or kitchen.

Silicone is used in wet areas to act as both a water barrier in cracks and joints, but also to prevent the growth of bacteria. However, not all silicones are as well suited to wet areas as Sikasil®-CaP.

Sikasil®-CaP has been created with both strong mould resistance and a fast, neutral cure. This makes it the perfect solution for both industry professionals and Diy enthusiasts.

Sikasil®-CaP has excellent adhesion to non-porous sub-strates such as ceramic tiles, bench tops, glass and bathroom fixtures and fittings.

Sika were ultimately chosen as a partner for this project because of our ability to supervise and visit all parties concerned in a job that crossed over three states. while the manufacture took place in geelong, final installation was in Brisbane, where Sika were onsite to supervise the use of our product, making sure that all care was taken to ensure the durability of this work.

The eyes themselves were installed using Sikaflex®-11fC and Sika anchorfix® 3+, both tried and tested adhesives, perfect for use with these kinds of materials. with the installation taking only a matter of days, the finishing touches to the new Brisbane Supreme Court and District Court Building allowed for a grand opening and a fast return to business.

while there has been some controversy surrounding the aesthetic of this work, it cannot be denied that this is a piece that hold symbolism across cultures and countries. The concept of a watchful public presented through these eyes is both interesting and relevant, reminding those in the courts that the public are always aware of the impact of their decisions.

pUBLIc ART WORKS BRISBANE, QLD

Public artworks are fast becoming the marker of great cities around the world, including places such as Paris, new york and London. Brisbane is truly becoming a ‘world city’ with the addition of a new work from Japan-based artist yayoi kasuma being installed on the Public Square arc wall at the newly constructed Brisbane Supreme Court and District Court Building.

The artwork, called Thousands of Eyes, is made up of exactly that - thousands of steel and porcelain eyes adhered to the concrete and steel substrate, creating a striking and thought provoking piece of public art. Sika were contacted to be involved in both the construction of the eye pieces, but also in the bonding of each eye to the walkway substrate.

each eye comes from a handdrawn sketch by yayoi kasuma, one of the most well known women artist throughout the world in the last 25 years. These eyes were then transferred to steel plate, cut out and assmbled with a glass coating. in this work, the assembly was performed by gmi (glass metal industries) in geelong, using Sika® aktivator PrO, Sika® Primer 206 g+P and Sikaflex® 295 UV. These products were chosen for their ability to cope with the difference in expansion between the glass coated steel and base frames.

The perimeter where the glass coated steel and base frame met was sealed using Sikasil® wS-305, creating a water tight and durable work that will last as long as the building continues to stand.
