At the heart of the LIV Albert development’s durability and design is Syntech Coatings, entrusted with supplying and installing all external waterproofing.

“Our scope was to supply and install waterproofing to all external areas,” explained Peter Lawson, CEO and Managing Director of Syntech Coatings. To achieve this, the team utilised Tremco products, applying them through a combination of hand-applied methods and liquid polyurea spray application. This hybrid approach allowed for both precision detailing and rapid coverage of larger areas, ensuring the works met stringent performance requirements.

Managing a project of this scale required meticulous coordination. Peter credits his leading hand and supervisor, Ash King, for the seamless delivery. “Ash coordinated all areas and applications in a professional manner, including the delivery and crane lifting of our custom-made spray machine cages to each area of application,”
Peter explained.

This careful planning enabled the team to apply and hand over each section on the same day, minimising disruption to other trades and keeping the project on track.

While large-scale waterproofing projects can present unexpected hurdles, Syntech’s commercial team delivered the works with ease thanks to their depth of experience and professionalism. The focus on efficiency, safety, and clear communication allowed them to avoid delays and maintain the highest quality standards throughout.

Looking back, Peter is proud of Syntech’s attention to detail and compliance. “We ensure all membranes are compliant with Australian Standards requirements, while also achieving the highest visual quality finish for the client,” Peter said. This combination of technical excellence and aesthetic care ensures the LIV Albert development’s external areas are protected for the long term, while also meeting the architectural vision.
