Project description: In october of 2014 kaiser permanente in baldwin park, california would need to specify a waterproofing membrane for a 32,000 sq.Ft. Reflection pond that was leaking into the lower rooms of the hospital. In addition to waterproofing there were upgrades including lighting and new drains that were being added to the pond. Since the pond was only going to be drained once and the timeline was near the “rainy” season in southern california consideration of project delays had to be considered. Kaiser’s design firm who had worked with freedom chemical on the hollywood sunset ave water feature selected the freedomtuff ® products to do the job.

Application: The pond was drained and the existing coating was removed by shotblasting. Surface profile was achieved to meet freedom spec. Since moisture vapor and rain was of consideration 16 mils of freedomtuff® 6600 mvr was applied. Freedomtuff® 2243 cr was applied at 120 mils. Freedomtuff® 4200 aliphatic top coat was color matched to resemble the color of the glass on the building and applied to the side walls of the pond to achieve the desired aesthetics.
