Canteen and Filtration

Anomalies:

The following anomalies were observed during the site visit:

• Gutters lacking maintenance.

• 3 whirlybirds misplaced.

• Worn waterproofing membrane.

• Infiltration on the slab soffit.

Rehabilitation:

All anomalies listed above will be addressed as part of the rehabilitation.

Proceedings:

1. The gutters and down pipes should be accessed and cleaned. Any obstructions and vegetation found must be removed.

2. 2 of the 3 whirlybirds have the covers misplaced but there are on the roof, therefore it only needs to be accessed and put in place.

3. The third and large whirlybird is uncovered. After accessing the roof, the technician shall determine what is missing from the cover to replace it.

4. The waterproofing membrane on the Filtration roof slab is worn and should be replaced. A Contractor shall be appointed to remove the existing waterproofing membrane and install a new waterproofing system. The contractor must present beforehand the technical specifications of the waterproofing material they intend to use, for approval.

5. The slab soffit with signs of water infiltration must be cleaned and were necessary, repaired. In places with severe signs of damage due to water infiltration, the integrity of the concrete shall be determined by testing the degree of corrosion of the steel reinforcement in the slab.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that maintenance of the gutters is done at regular intervals. A map can be drawn to schedule the dates for the maintenance.

It is recommended that the areas with visible signs of water infiltration are examined to determine if there are other causes for water infiltration besides the poorly maintained gutters and the worn waterproofing membrane, like leaking pipes.
