Fosroc
“ If you take the Burj El Arab Hotel in Dubai for example , it is built in the sea and has three layers of basement under water level ,” Ladurelli said . “ We gave them a waterproofing solution for that underground structure which after 10 years is still in perfect condition .
“ We also provide specialty coatings for structures like car park decking systems as well as providing a range of sealants which you ’ re likely to see in numerous airports at present .”
The scale of the projects being entrusted with Fosroc are epitomised by a $ 1.2 billion hotel resort and enormous casino being built in Macau , which has similarly required an extensive waterproofing job covering the size of several football pitches .
Another feather in the company ’ s cap has been middle east

“.. typically our specification engineers will be sitting with designers working over the plans and how to adapt and solve problems simultaneously ”
