Transform your outdoor space with Wood Tile Pavers. They are a great alternative to concrete architectural pavers as the finished surface of a terrace or walkway that pairs excellently within the Garden Roof? Assembly. These square and rectangular shaped tiles are fabricated from a variety of hardwood species that exhibit excellent resistance to weather due to their dense and durable nature.

Located in the heart of the expanding life science market of San Carlos, CA, the recently completed Portal 405 is a new 240,000 square foot life science building that is attracting the best science and engineering talent of the region. The exceptional building and its carefully curated design sits among research universities and corporations in the city’s Innovation District. As a LEED certified building with 60% lab space and 40% office space, it is equipped with state of the art lab equipment, energy efficient building materials, and top of the line amenities. Located on the 4th floor opposite the highway is the 10,000 square foot landscaped rooftop terrace, completed with the Hydrotech Garden Roof? and Ultimate Assembly?. This area is protected from freeway noise and westward winds, providing an enjoyable outdoor work and meeting space for employees. It also sports amazing views of San Carlos, Redwood City, and the hills to the west. Great work by the design and construction team: RMW architecture & interiors Devcon Construction Menlo Equities Alliance Roofing Company, Inc. https://lnkd.in/eXiudXBn #architecture #design #waterproofing #roofing #sustainabledesign #sustainability #greenroofs #greenbuilding #greeninfrastructure #landscapearchitecture

Spring is nearly here and a great way to get through the last few weeks of winter is to put together your vegetated roof maintenance plan for the upcoming year! A successful vegetative roof is one that receives proper maintenance, starting with the installation of the plant material. There is no such thing as a no-maintenance vegetative roof. Keeping a watchful eye on the roof will maximize plant health, maintain the aesthetics of the roof, and ensure any issues such as clogged drains, wind erosion, and irrigation malfunctions are handled before they become problems. A well thought out and executed maintenance plan will make certain the vegetative roof is performing as intended and meets the owner’s expectations. Hydrotech offers a Maintenance Guideline for Garden Roof? Assemblies that outlines a yearly plan of action for your project. Maintenance needs will vary depending on many different factors including overall project environment, micro-climate areas on the roof, shade, specified vegetation and overall weather patterns. As always, reach out to Hydrotech with any questions. https://lnkd.in/dSvm-fK #architecture #architect #architects #design #designer #designers #waterproofing #sustainabledesign #sustainability #development #greenroofs #landscapearchitect

We are very excited to see this project progress towards completion! Critical amenity deck spaces are protected with Hydrotech?

Assembly. #architecture #design #waterproofing #sustainabledesign #sustainability #greenroofs #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #roofing #greenbuilding #greeninfrastructure #landscapearchitecture #biodiversity #environment

Thank you, to all our employees on Employee Appreciation Day!

Hydrotech MM6125: The Perfect Roof. The concept of placing the waterproofing membrane on the deck with insulation and overburden above is the first step toward the perfect roof. It allows you to get the physics right. But the right membrane is critical to making it a long term, problem free solution. “MM6125 conforms to all surface irregularities and bonds tenaciously to an acceptable substrate (i.e., concrete, steel, wood, etc.) restricting the lateral migration of water between the membrane and substrate.” So, it’s fully adhered, right? There are other membranes and application methods I could choose to achieve full adhesion. In the 1990’s, the Director of Specifications for a respected, nationally based engineering firm prepared a technical memo to address those trying to convince him to accept waterproofing products other than company standard of Hot Fluid Applied Rubberized Asphalt, and specifically Hydrotech’s MM6125. In that memo he addresses his over 35 years of experience, over 4500 projects with waterproofing membranes of all sorts, including a great variety of liquid and sheet membranes. He had been involved in the investigation and analysis of many significant waterproofing failures over the years and came to this conclusion: “Endless analysis and reanalysis of these catastrophes succeeded at last in pounding into our consciousness the infamous root cause for the endless failures of remedial procedures later applied to rectify these situations, namely ‘subsurface migration’. In other words, despite the promises of an endless list of promotors of ‘fully adhered’ sheet systems, like ‘the music goes round and round’ in the old song, holidays in sheet adhesion led to the discovery of leak exits amazingly located at considerable remove from the site of initial water entrance; enormous expenses were thereby incurred for superfluous and unnecessary excavation, and in some cases demolition, simply to determine just where the failures had happened.” Their solution??“a thick layer of ‘sticky liquid’…placing the waterproofing coating directly on the affected structure, where it belongs”, MM6125. MM6125 goes on thick, in a hot, semi liquid state and is generally applied at a completed thickness of 215 mils, fabric reinforced. Although concrete prep and condition is always critical, MM6125 has historically dealt with a wide variety of deck conditions and textures, filling all the voids, and building to create a true continuously adhered waterproofing membrane with no voids. ? “Restricting the lateral migration of water between the membrane and the substrate”. A critical element that helps drive an unparalleled history of success over 60 years continues to drive the wide use of MM6125 for roofs, vegetated roof assemblies, amenity decks and plaza applications. https://lnkd.in/dhnD65Sa???? #waterproofing #vegetatedroofs #roofing #protectedmembraneroofing #perfectroof #amenitydecks #plazas?

Today is World Wildlife Day and the theme is Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet. As the leader of the Vegetated Roof industry, Hydrotech is constantly striving to bring Garden Roofs and sustainable construction into the built environment. By doing so, we are seeing a return of biodiversity, a reduction in the urban heat island effect, better stormwater management practices, and much more. Let us celebrate Earth's animals and plants and their contributions that make our world a better place! #WorldWildlifeDay #WWD #architecture #design #waterproofing #sustainabledesign #sustainability #sustainable #greenroofs #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #roofing #blueroofs #greenbuilding #greeninfrastructure #landscapearchitecture #buildingowners #biodiversity #environment

Hydrotech? Monolithic Membrane 6125? (MM 6125?) Unique Characteristics: MM 6125 is a thermoplastic material – one component, 100% solids. MM 6125 has a minimum 40% recycled content; validated by UL. MM 6125 conforms to all surface irregularities and bonds directly to acceptable substrates (i.e., concrete, steel, wood, etc.) eliminating lateral migration of water. MM 6125 is completely monolithic, no seams! MM 6125 is typically installed at 215 mils thick in the?Fabric Reinforced Assembly. MM 6125 can be installed at temperatures as low as 0 °F (provided the substrate is clean, dry, free of snow and frost). MM 6125 detailing is simplified, with triple protection at all critical locations. MM 6125 is ideal for dead level installations; no slope required, just positive drainage. MM 6125 was developed to perform in a wet (submerged) environment, making it a perfect membrane for no slope decks, water features, pools and vegetated roofs. MM 6125 tie-ins from one day's work to the next is easy, perfect for phased construction. https://lnkd.in/gz7ekErA #hydrotech #sika #MM6125 #provenperformance #waterproofing #roofing #sustainability #sustainabledesign #design #construction #architecture
