Liquid Plastics Ltd - Tipped favourite for Goodwood
The world famous March Stand at Goodwood Racecourse
has been overhauled with Decothane Delta 25 - a
hardwearing liquid roof coating from leading high
performance weatherproofing supplier Liquid Plastics.
The March stand, originally opened by the Queen in 1980,
has a striking barrel shaped roof made from pre-cast
concrete, which is supported by a reinforced concrete
frame and stainless steel tensioning cables. It had
however begun to suffer from water ingress and was in
need of a solution that was durable, cost effective,
quick to apply and, critically, flame-free.
Kevin Sloane, Repairs and Maintenance Manager at The
Goodwood Estate Company Ltd, reviewed the waterproofing
options together with the contractor, Jones Brothers
Flat Roofing Ltd. “Having discounted several options,
including felt and other liquid roofing products, we
chose Decothane Delta 25 from Liquid Plastics,” comments
Kevin. “We have both worked extensively with the product
in the past and felt it was the best solution for the
roof, which stands 18 metres above ground, is in a very
exposed location on top of a hill and has several areas
of complex detailing.”
Decothane Delta 25 is highly elastomeric which enables
it to cope with thermal and substrate movement. Boasting
a strong track record, it is also guaranteed to last for
at least 25 years before first maintenance is required,
even in the most challenging conditions.
The first half of the roof was completed recently
without disruption to the busy schedule of race meetings
at Goodwood. The Decothane system was quickly and easily
cold-applied directly over the existing roof, which
eliminated the need for potentially dangerous hot works.
The second half of the roof will be refurbished in 2008
with the same Liquid Plastics’ solution.
Malcolm Jones, director at Jones Brothers Flat Roofing
Ltd, commented; “Quite simply, this would have been an
impossible job without Liquid Plastics. They provided
superb technical expertise and a high performance
product, which enabled us to work within the strict
constraints of the project.” Kevin Sloane added: “I’m
confident that Decothane Delta 25 will perform very well
over the coming years.”
Set in 12,000 acres of rolling Sussex Downland, Goodwood
provides an exceptional variety of activities including
horse racing, motor racing, golf and flying. Goodwood
Racecourse has been home to horseracing since 1802 and
is acclaimed as being one of the most beautiful
racecourses in the world.
