As Adelaide’s longest-standing waterproofing specialists, Mezcon Dayproof brought over 35 years of proven experience to the transformative Norwood Green project, delivering durable, high-performance solutions tailored to high traffic environments, providing a critical safeguard against long-term structural deterioration and costly remediation.
“We installed a complete waterproofing system from Mapei, with the scope including waterproofing for the podium plaza on level two, the retaining walls, planter boxes, and floor areas,” Operations Manager George Rowan explained. “We used a torch-applied bitumen membrane renowned for its durability and proven performance. The proprietary material comes in rolls, and provides a reliable, long-term waterproofing solution.”



In high-risk areas such as retaining walls, Mezcon Dayproof installed a double layer of membrane along with a protective drainage sheet (HDPE) to ensure maximum protection and structural longevity, using a controlled heating process to achieve full adhesion to the substrate.
While technical challenges can arise in a large-scale development like Norwood Green, George credits a smooth workflow to strong collaboration with the builder. “Buildtec were great to work with,” he said. “Materials were delivered to our yard and craned over the building when needed. Everything was well-organised.”
With a track record spanning over 35 years, Mezcon Dayproof has built a solid reputation for excellence in both residential and commercial sectors.
In addition to waterproofing, the company also offers concrete remediation, truncations, specialist grouting, shotcrete, carbon fibre reinforcement, crack injection (acrylic, pu, epoxy, etc), epoxy repairs and applications, polyurea spray and applications, as well as expansion joints, and all types of water sealing services, interior and exterior.
“Projects like Norwood Green really showcase our expertise in torch-applied membranes,” says George. “It’s where we shine, applying best practices and proven systems to ensure the long-term success of
high-profile builds.”
