Fosroc’s waterproofing: Keeping York Street Station high and dry
Fosroc supplied expert waterproofing solutions for the redevelopment of the York Street Station, Belfast. The £10m project aims to enhance accessibility and accommodate increased passenger numbers. Redevelopment includes platform widening, new canopies and construction of retaining structures. A key challenge involved waterproofing a retaining wall for a new building situated below the railway line, ensuring its suitability for use. Fosroc and the specialist waterproofing contractor, Protum Services, who have a long history of working on projects together, were called in to assist. After site assessment, Fosroc specified Proofex Engage and Proofex 3000 membranes for base and retaining walls, with Proofex LM for corners and joints. Proofex Engage, featuring a unique cell
mesh, forms a robust waterproof seal, resisting water migration even amidst ground settlement. Its rapid installation, gas resistance and durability ensure quality, meeting BBA and EN13967:2004 standards and BS8102:2022 Grades 1, 2, and 3 requirements. Fosroc’s technical team ensured project adherence. They also provided detailed PI insurance-backed waterproofing designs through Waterproofing Design Services Ltd (WDS), their associate company.
