Problem & Diagnosis
A roof-mounted fan unit at a paper mill in Abu Dhabi leaked at every rigid detail: standard membranes cracked against constant vibration and thermal movement on plant equipment.
Solution — Method
Uncured EPDM chosen exactly for this environment — it forms to irregular profiles and stays flexible on vibrating plant. Throat and base details formed with counter-flashing; adjacent roof sections treated to tie the detail into the field.
Result & Warranty
The details survived subsequent operation cycles; the material-selection logic (flexibility at plant penetrations) is part of the standard method on ../../waterproofing-for-factories/ the factory sector page.
