A sought-after residential project of 186 apartments at the junction of Şefikcan Avenue and the ring road, Konya’s new centre of attraction, with indoor and outdoor parking, a viewing terrace, children’s play areas, an ornamental pool and security. Foundation Wall Waterproofing On the underground car-park walls, tie-rod holes were repaired and coves formed with the structural repair mortar FOX MORTAR FC188T, then the fully flexible waterproofing FOX MULTISEAL FS478 was applied; EPS boards were fixed with the adhesive mortar FOX CERA FX110 to protect the waterproofing. Waterproofing over the Underground Car Park Over the fully buried 1,200 m² car park, the super-flexible FOX ULTRASEAL-UV FS485, which works under negative and positive pressure, was applied with mesh reinforcement and tied into the foundation wall waterproofing to form one continuous membrane. Cold joints in the concrete were reinforced with FOX PURMAX WB 1K. Ornamental Pool Waterproofing In the ornamental pool, effectively a suspended pool as it sits over the car park, repairs and coves were made with FOX MORTAR FC188T and pipe penetrations and drain edges with FOX GROUT FC155; the walls were levelled with FOX THERM-ALL FIX FT385, primed with FOX EPOTHANE PRIMER HB and waterproofed with FOX PURMAX ULTRA and FOX PURMAX TOPCOAT. Trafficable Terrace On the viewing terraces of the 16-storey first phase, repairs and coves were made with FOX MORTAR FC188T and drain edges with FOX GROUT FC155; the surface primed with FOX EPOTHANE PRIMER HB received a FOX PURMAX EP 2K waterproofing layer, the FOX PURATHANE BASECOAT COMFORT floor coating and the FOX PURATHANE TOPCOAT WB top coat, making the system resistant to UV and chemicals. In the second phase, after repairs, FOX PURMAX SPRAYTEC FS561 HYBRID provided both waterproofing and floor coating, finished with FOX PURMAX TOPCOAT.
