TECHNICAL BARRIER SYSTEMS - APPLICATIONS
WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWER 4 –
As these buildings rise again over downtown Manhattan, Kelmar® has been installed in the parking garage of building 4. We are pleased to have been chosen by Adamson and Associates, the lead architects for the Trade Center, who prefer to specify Kelmar® along with other quality TBS products.
Kelmar® traffic topping was used in the Trade Center garage when the buildings were originally built. In addition to Kelmar®, we also supplied product for all of the Mechanical equipment Rooms.
The World Trade Center is owned by The Port Authority of New York, New Jersey and they use Kelmar® for waterproofing the electrical substations in the major airports under their control including Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark
TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION – uses Kelmar® to waterproof their numerous electrical sub stations in their subway systems. They use Kelmar® T.E. exposure 111 in the upper surfaces and then cover it with a 10-inch thick slab of concrete to ensure protection for great many years. We have evidence of Kelmar® membrane still working well after 35 years.
CIRQUE DE SOLEIL – The Montreal based world famous performance company uses EMBE® epoxies to coat their stage sections in their North American operations. These movable sections use our tough epoxies to coat the floors they perform on. According to their purchasing people they searched to find the epoxy with the best long term durability and came to TBS for their needs. We blend a special colour "Marigold" just for them.
JINN MAO BUILDING IN SHANGHAI CHINA – Kelmar FWC was chosen for the parking deck protection in the Jinn Mao building in Shanghai after a thorough search for the best system of traffic toppings. Spiker Baldwin of Atlanta Georgia, recommended Kelmar after discussions with TBS. Jinn Mao is the tallest building in Shanghai.
UN BUILDING IN NEW YORK – one of the most recognised buildings in the world is protected with Kelmar FWC in its garage. FWC was chosen over competitive Urethane systems because it is odourless. No other system is allowed in the garage since they can’t have sessions interrupted due to odours.
.
LINCOLN CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS – including the Julliard School of Music – Kelmar T.E. was installed in the Lincoln Center in 1991 and it is just now being re-coated. Just another great example of long-term durability of Kelmar.
