The Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art summer exhibition 2020, Water, featured a range of indoor water themed exhibits. The artist Olafur Eliasson used 100 tonnes of materials to create the vast indoor landscape of rocks and streaming water named Riverbed, for the first time in the southern hemisphere.
Waterproofing Integrity was contracted to perform Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) and Seam Probe Testing on the Ardex TPO sheet waterproofing. With the substructure design detailing this waterproofing system as the only line of defence against water escaping into other areas of the gallery, it was critical that a high degree of quality control was implemented.
Even the best materials and installation methods can fall victim to damage from a stray screw or dropped tools. ELD is able to identify micro penetrations through a membrane of coating that may not be easily identified by traditional visual inspections.
