Certificate type
A Radmat Blue Roof system is an effective means of providing a Sustainable Drainage solution (SuDS) in inner city and urban environments.
Application
Radmat Blue Roof systems are designed by an in-house team to achieve the required attenuation volume and/or the required discharge rate, with discharge rates significantly below the greenfield run off rate of 5 L a second equivalent being achievable.
No special rainwater outlets are required for the system, the flow control and overflow devices work with any brand of rainwater outlet. It is however recommend the inclusion of a telltale provision as with any temporary or permanent water holding system.
Design considerations:
When designing a Blue Roof system in addition to advising on the depth of the geocells Radmat will highlight the impact the overall FFL-SSL as the roof thickness will increase, impacting both threshold heights and the height of the waterproofing upstand. A suitably qualified person will need to assess the impact of live load on the roof.
Description
Storing water above the waterproofing layer a Radmat Geocell Blue roof system provides a method of regulated control to meet a limited discharge consent in accordance with SuDS design principles. Rainwater is held for no more than a 24-hour period from the end of the maximum designed rainfall event, and achieves half empty within a 12-hour period.
Designed to accommodate a 1 in 100-year storm event plus 40% climate change factor using FEH13 (Flood Estimation Handbook) data a Radmat Blue Roof system can be integrated within Radmat new build or refurbishment roofing systems and be incorporated in the Radmat System Warranty.
Radmat’s PermaQuik PQ6100 was the UK’s first waterproofing system BBA Certified for use in Blue Roof applications, enabling the specification of waterproofing, insulation, blue roof and green roof system from a single source.
Finishes:
Radmat Blue Roof systems are and suitable for zero falls flat roofs, terraces and podiums. Radmat Blue Roof systems can be finished with paving, 20/40 mm ballast or a green roof system and can deliver amenity and rainwater source control.
