Case Studies > Hyperdesmo > Metal Deck Waterproofing System Installation at Cardigan Fields, Leeds

Project Description
Makers Construction Ltd successfully completed a 366m² waterproofing system installation at Cardigan Fields, Leeds, using our Hyperdesmo® System. The project involved applying a high-performance waterproofing solution over a metal deck with insulation, utilising Alchimica® Building Chemicals’ advanced polyurethane-based products.
 
Project Requirements
The existing single-ply waterproofing system had reached the end of its effective service life, necessitating the installation of a high-performance, fully bonded replacement. The new system needed to ensure long-term water resistance, strong adhesion and UV protection while seamlessly integrating with the metal deck and insulation layers.
 
Alchimica® Solution
To meet these requirements, the Hyperdesmo® System was specified, utilising a range of Alchimica® Building Chemicals products designed for maximum durability and protection.
 
Waterproofing System Installation
To ensure optimal adhesion and waterproofing performance, the following products were applied:

Surface Preparation:

  • Geodesmo® 50 – Enhanced adhesion and compatibility with the existing surface.
  • PVC Primer – Ensured strong bonding to the metal deck.

Waterproofing Application:

  • Hyperseal® – Sealed joints and cracks for a watertight finish.
  • Hyperdesmo® Provided a seamless, flexible waterproofing membrane
  • Geotextile Fleece – Reinforced the system for additional durability.
  • Hyperdesmo® ADY-E – Provides a fully UV resistant top coat
Results
The Hyperdesmo® System provided a highly durable, weather-resistant and fully bonded waterproofing solution, ensuring long-term protection for the building. The project was completed efficiently with minimal disruption.
 
Key Benefits Delivered
  • Seamless, fully bonded system – Eliminates weak points, preventing water ingress.
  • High durability – Resistant to environmental stress, UV exposure and mechanical wear.
  • Strong adhesion – Ensures long-term stability on the metal deck.
  • Efficient application – Quick-curing solution for minimal downtime.
Makers Construction Ltd successfully delivered a high-performance waterproofing system installation using Alchimica’s Hyperdesmo® System, reinforcing our reputation for excellence in waterproofing solutions.
