The Shard

The Shard, Western Europe’s tallest building, is the latest in a long line of prestigious London landmark projects to be protected by Alumasc’s Hydrotech hot melt waterproofing system. 3500 metres of Hydrotech has been installed across various levels of the 310m (1,016ft) landmark building, whose glass façade now dominates the London skyline. Hydrotech was specified by affiliate architects, Adamson Associates following its effective use on projects such as Canary Wharf. Its high performance and flexibility of installation, made it suitable for use on several areas where alternative products were not an option.
