Britvic Need Roof Assistance

By:


Britvic Soft Drinks' distribution centre in Norwich, sell more than 1.3 billion units per year and export to more than 50 countries around the world. When the roofs began to fail, a immediate high performance waterproofing and repair system was necessary. Britvic, one of Europe's biggest producers of soft drinks with an yearly turnover of more than 1 billion, turned to Acrypol, the UK's leading manufacturer of cold applied acrylic polymer waterproof solutions and coating.

Britvic searched for a repair solution to prevent the need for pricey replacements, as both roofs were suffering from deterioration, including holes causing water ingress to roofing joints. It was also critical that the distribution centre stayed open throughout the repair process to guarantee productivity would not be compromised.

System 15 and Metal-Kote, a comprehensive repair system supplied by Acrypol were used on both roofs which have a combined size of 3,759m2. The roofs appear and perform like new but cost much less than a replacement roof. For this to be achieved, the specification of Acrypol's System 15 and Metal-Kote proved ideal with easy installation processes, both cold-applied over existing surfaces, causing minimal disturbance to the business.

Metal-Kote, a swift acting and non-intrusive metal repair system, was specified to offer waterproofing and repairs to the metal surfaces. After an thorough pre-application cleaning process was accomplished across all roofing surfaces, including gutters and joints, Metal-Kote was applied directly to the surface, providing a 100% watertight seal that also stops any existing rust from spreading.

Chosen for its high performance and simple application, some 1,725m2 of Metal-Kote was spray-applied to the profiled sheet metal roofing. Returning Britvic's roof to its former glory, without the expense or bother of a roof replacement, with one application, it has dramatically bettered and reinvigorated the tired metal roof.

System 15 was specified to deliver an unrivalled waterproofing integrity whilst offering convenience, safety and long-term performance all with Acrypol's 15 year guarantee. Some 2,034m2 of the economical, yet highly trustworthy, acrylic waterproofing system was applied to the existing rooftop, roofing joints and 380 linear metres of guttering, taking a fraction of the time and cost of other refurbishment and replacement systems.

Following the application of Acrypol's comprehensive roofing repair system, phase one in Britvic distribution centre's renovation programme is now finished. As additional improvements and renovations are made, the employees of one of Europe's biggest suppliers will have a workplace that is of the highest standard starting at the very top.
