What You Missed. AIW QLD’s Waterproofing with Polyurea Membranes Talk about team effort! Seven industry players and four top speakers joined forces to give back to waterproofers and construction professionals last week at the AIW Queensland’s mega tech and demo event in Salisbury. Polyurea membranes have a good reputation but have frustrating aspects, especially in their application so at this meeting, tips and tricks were explained together with info on application, equipment, substrate types, preparation, testing and quality control. Check out the pics and video. A big shout out to our generous sponsors, FOSROC, GCP, GLINCOAT, GRACO, PHILLRO and Master Painters Association for their generous support with equipment, premises and knowledge sharing. Thank you also to Scott Whitelaw (GCP), Brad Adams (Phillro), Peter Godfrey (Phillro) and Alan Glindemann (Glindemann Industrial Coatings) for your time in providing robust information to AIW members. #AIWevents #AIWQLD #waterproofingeducation #polyureamembranes
