AFI Vokovice

AFI VOKOVICE is a contemporary office complex designed by the architectural studio DAM architekti. It comprises two buildings, one with six floors and the other with eight, offering a combined leasable area of nearly 14,000 square meters. In addition to office spaces, the complex also includes retail units and warehouse space.

For parking, there are underground garages available with a total capacity of 285 parking spaces.

AFI VOKOVICE presents an adaptable solution for discerning tenants in search of modern office spaces equipped with the latest technologies, distinctive architectural features, and, most importantly, a prime location that’s easily accessible from the city center and the international airport. 

Both buildings are designed with energy efficiency in mind and have received LEED Platinum certification.

The AFI VOKOVICE project was completed in August 2018.

The underground structure was waterproofed with Xypex. The complete waterproofing solution included Xypex Admix NF in the foundation slab and all sub-terrain perimeter walls, a treatment of construction, and expansion joints, sealing of inlets, outlets, tie-holes and other details.

Nekap was responsible for the waterproofing of the underground structure, along with waterproofing joints, penetrations, and other details. For these areas, the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid system was proposed to the design team to be used in combination with the Xypex Admix C-Series and provide a complete waterproof solution.

The incorporation of the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid KJ into the slab ensured a complete seal was created at the transition to the wall. As Manorteq offers as a full interconnecting system, the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid CJ was then installed in specified construction joints and connected to the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid KJ using tie-wire.

To allow for larger pours, the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid CI was also installed at designated construction joints. By inducing a controlled aesthetically pleasing waterproof crack, the inclusion of the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid CI was ultimately able to increase the speed of concrete placement and reduce overall the construction timeframe.

By utilising the complete Xypex and Manorteq solution, provided by one supplier, Manorteq products were able to complete the waterproofing and protect the structure against the harsh natural environment.
