Project Description

The PARVI Cibulka residential project will satisfy fans of stylish living, including the most demanding clients. It stands as evidence of the successful transformation of a former Meopta factory into 150 contemporary and unique loft-style apartments.

The industrial charm of the building has been preserved, seamlessly blending intriguing elements with modern Finnish-style, offering high-quality housing.

Other notable advantages of the project include tranquility, a connection to nature, and a prime location in the broader center of Prague with excellent accessibility and civic amenities.

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.
