One of Triton Systems approved installers has made use of the manufacturer’s waterproofing and sealant products in constructing a large wine cellar as the semi-buried basement structure beneath a new five-bedroom property in North London.
Harkmac Construction Limited undertook the new build in the Stanmore area on behalf of Inspired Designs, a Residential Design and Build company and recommended the use of Triton’s TT admixture to the project structural engineer along with Swell Seal mastic to address the day joints.
The Luton based groundworker and civil engineering company has been successfully employing the Triton products since 2021, undertaking contracts from South Wales, right across England to the South-East.
Harkmac’s Contract Manager on the Stanmore job, Anthony Anderson, comments: “This was a large basement – measuring 10 metres by 5 metres – built into sharply sloping ground and although the clay soils are fairly dry, we recommended the Triton TT to the structural engineer, which Triton then supplied to our ready mixed concrete supplier. That mix design for waterproof concrete was then used for the basement slab and walls as well as the floor slab over the top: forming a complete box for the wine cellar. And we also used the Triton mastic, along with water bar for sealing all of the day joints.
“We work right across the country from Cardiff, down to Portsmouth and up to Coventry and have utilised the Triton range on a variety of domestic and commercial projects, including several of the David Lloyd gymnasium extensions. The products are very easy to use and we get good technical back up from Triton, including site visits and the supply of drawings or special details when needed.”
Anthony Anderson and his colleagues have now moved on to another project at Holdsworth Crescent in Coventry, where they are again employing the TT for the construction of raft foundation slabs for new build properties.
