[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Restoration and expansion of a historic building, attention to waterproofing the walls” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The Italian urban landscape is also characterized by small villages, where the preservation of the original features of the buildings, both in terms of volumes and housing typologies, preserves the uniqueness of our territory. It is essential that these conservation interventions are carried out without negatively impacting the environment.<\/p>\n

The decision to restore a building while maintaining its volumes and historical and structural features, while simultaneously improving the quality of life, represents a conscious and targeted option in this direction. An additional challenge for the execution of the works is the location of the structure, located at the foot of a hill with a significant presence of water from a hidden upstream catchment basin. This situation makes the intervention more complex from a technical standpoint.<\/p>\n

PROIND S.r.l. offers solutions and products that meet the design requirements required to address these challenges.<\/p>\n

The project included:<\/p>\n

Part A: the construction of a new structure for car parking and material storage.<\/p>\n

Part B: the complete restoration of the historic building, with adaptation to modern thermo-acoustic criteria.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1731432026806{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Part A: Construction of a new structure to be waterproofed with bentonite sheeting” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]In this portion of the work, the existing rock had to be removed and, after verifying the static conditions, the new structure was re-waterproofed.<\/p>\n

For this operation, it was deemed most suitable to use the bentonite waterproofing sheet BENTOGEO GRIP TG<\/b><\/a>, a bentonite sheet combined with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE material has high tensile strength, and from a mechanical standpoint, HDPE sheeting has a higher specific strength. It is also harder and can withstand higher temperatures. Specifically, sheets measuring 2.50 x 20.00 m (50 m2 of surface area for each roll) were used.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”2719″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The bentonite waterproofing sheet solution BENTOGEO GRIP TG<\/b><\/a> was used on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Meanwhile, the product BENTOPASTA<\/b><\/a> was used in the connection areas (with any critical points), and the bentonite joint GIUNTO BT100<\/b><\/a> was used along the perimeter (sealing like a frame).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2721″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1731432026806{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Part B: Complete recovery of the historic building by waterproofing it and adapting it to modern thermo-acoustic criteria” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The historic building underwent various types of intervention:<\/p>\n
