Moy Materials are approved CPD (continuing professional development) providers approved by the RIAI and the RIBA. Our presentations usually take place over lunchtime and consist of a powerpoint presentation on flat roof design and associated issues with question and answer sessions following.
On completion of the presentation we will record the names of attendees and issue CPD certs.
At present we have several presentations available to interested parties, these include:
- Green Roof Technology
- Achieving Zero leaks in flat roofs
We are constantly reviewing our CPD offerings, in order to keep them fresh and relevant. If there is a topic that you think we could present to you on, just ask.
At Moy Materials, we pride ourselves in the fact that we are more than just suppliers. Each member of our technical team is highly experienced in the field of waterproofing. As part of our suite of services we can conduct detailed roof surveys using the latest technology.
Surveys can be requested to determine the condition of a particular roof. In undertaking a survey we will visit the roof in question and compile a report identifying the current conditions and offering a range of options with regard to recovery/refurbishment or replacement. Where thermal insulation is present in a roof build up (warm roof) we can utilise our state of the art thermal camera to give a pictorial representation of the condition of the underlying insulation. This level of detail can be critical in determining what course of action might be needed for any given roof. Moy Materials has 2 qualified thermographers on the technical team.
Electronic integrity testing is often a condition of contract for many new roofs. For older roofs, this form of testing can be used to pinpoint problems. We use a spark-tester to identify pinholes in all membranes and non metallic roof coverings (single ply, built up roofing, asphalt). Our trained team will assess your roof, conduct a spark test, identify areas needing repair, and submit with a written report.
We like to think that we provide more than just waterproofing systems, we supply peace of mind. Once a project reaches site, we will inspect ongoing works and issue interim reports to all relevant parties.
We can act as an extra pair of eyes for the specifier or client, who needs to know that the system they have selected will be installed to the highest of standards. When requested, we will attend all relevant site meetings to answer queries relating to our area. At project start-up, we often give toolbox talks to the team undertaking the installation. We have found this to be very helpful in avoiding potential problems on individual sites.
The correct specification is critical for successful waterproofing. We will issue detailed specifications for any flat roof/podium/terrace area, taking particular note of project specific issues and details. We can offer specifications in both standard form and also in N.B.S. format.
Our technical team is unrivalled in terms of hands on experience relating to flat roof waterproofing – don’t agonise over detail issues, call us in and we can offer advice in a friendly and knowledgeable fashion.
The following represents just some of our areas of expertise:
- Warm Roofs
- Green Roofs
- Cold Roofs
- Inverted Roofs
- Roof drainage analysi
- Tapered Insulation Layouts
- Roof Plant support layouts
- Façade waterproofing specifications and detailing
- Wind uplift calculations
Operative training is an essential step towards the provision of quality roofing systems. Moy offer regular operative training in order to upskill our trusted network of installers. Contact us to discuss your training needs.
Building Information Modeling is taking the design and construction industries to a new level of sophistication. We are delighted to announce the we have completed the BIM objects for the Paralon system ,and we are currently putting the finishing touches to further BIM objects for our FM Global systems and our intensive and extensive green roof systems.
