Synopsis

Fulham Wharf is a landmark regeneration scheme that began in 2013 and included the ecological enhancement of an abandoned jetty on the River Thames. This redevelopment was designed to provide the local community with an ecological education centre and bio-diverse wildlife reserve.

Products applied

BauderGREEN XF 301:
A unique, sedum mat, vegetation blanket developed for use directly over the waterproofing system without the need for a secondary substrate growing medium. This benefits from being the lightest self-contained sedum blanket system available.

BauderGREEN WB:
A vegetation blanket which contains a broad mix of British Wildflowers grown in substrate on a coir carrier. The natural fibres of the coir carrier promote the rapid rooting of the blanket into the substrate.

Project challenges 

One of the major challenges for this roof was installing the central sloped section, which required exceptional levels of technical input and workmanship. This roofing area was waterproofed with the same bituminous green roof system as the upper roof; however, a special timber design for retaining the substrate and sedum blanket was also needed. Since its official opening in October 2013, the lower wildflower roof has become a haven for a variety of different birds and insects.

The result

The building’s new roof swoops down to become a continuum with the jetty deck and is covered with a green habitat providing three distinct environments for wildlife; one on the flat roof, one on the slope and the third on the jetty deck. The education centre roof was waterproofed with Bauder’s root resistant bitumen membrane before then having a sedum blanket fitted. On the lower roof, 650m² of Bauder’s hot melt structural waterproofing was installed along with a wildflower blanket, providing an instant carpet of vegetation.
