The clock tower building at 368 Ruthven Street, Toowoomba
The Brief

A landmark roof,
a trading building

The building is a well-known part of the Toowoomba CBD streetscape, with a clock tower rising above a large low-pitch metal roof and tenancies operating underneath.

The roof needed a full waterproofing system rather than patch repairs, the tower needed safe access built before anyone could work on it, and the ceiling below had to be made good. None of it could interrupt the tenants below.

The Work

What we did

  • Engineered scaffold erected to give safe access to the clock tower, inspected and handed over before work started
  • Full roof cleaned and prepared, with WPA160 primer applied across the roof area
  • WPA230 UV stable membrane applied over the primed surface as a continuous system
  • Detailing carried out to every penetration, upstand, parapet and brickwork junction
  • Ceiling remedial works and make-safe to the tenancy below the roof
  • Progressive clean-down and removal, leaving the site trading throughout

The Result

Handed over
with the paperwork

The roof was delivered as a complete, warranted system rather than a repair, and the client had a written record of every day of it.

  • A daily progress report with photographs issued for every day on site
  • A full completion report on handover
  • System and workmanship warranty documentation
  • Tenants trading and the building open for the whole programme
