Newmarket Race Course - Widocryl System.

WIDOPAN products were chosen for the waterproofing and resurfacing works which were required for the grandstands at

Newmarket’s prestigious July Course.

The stands house restaurants & bars beneath, with multiple skylights set into the risers of the stands. The existing precast concrete and polysulphide mastic had started to fail, resulting in cracks in many areas, and water ingress around the skylights and other weak points.

Firstly, WIDOCRYL-Primer PM was applied to the surface. Whilst still wet, polyester fabric mesh was laid into the primer as a reinforcement. WIDOCRYL-TEN encapsulating 165g reinforcement fleece was used as the waterproofing seal around the skylights, upstands and other details, with the rest of the surface receiving a self-levelling layer of WIDOCRYL-SV with PD-Powder. Finally, the

entire surface received a slip-resistant wearing course

of WIDOCRYL-Topsiegel in Traffic Grey colour, with Traffic Yellow colour used for markings on steps.

The finished result gives the grandstands a new lease of life, whilst providing a secure waterproof seal and a hard wearing, slip resistant surface.
