Titanic Hotel hosts LRWA Awards

Cliff WestonLiverpool’s iconic hotel provided the backdrop to the 2nd LRWA Annual Awards. Designed to recognise quality, professionalism and workmanship the awards are becoming a celebration of all that is good in the liquid waterproofing industry.

Hosted by Sarah Spink CEO of the LRWA and presented by Cliff Weston the awards consist of a brief outline of the work undertaken by the organisations and key projects of note for the future.

Tables & RoomSupported by most of the leading manufacturers within the industry with head line sponsor “Westwood” the awards enjoyed reception drinks, 3 course dinner followed by the Awards presentation themselves.

The awards recognise 2 individual achievements of “Student of the Year” and “Trainer of the Year”. This year’s lucky recipients were Jordan Page of Page Roofing and Mark Monk of Sika Liquid Plastics respectively.

The other 4 category awards on offer were projects over and under 1000m2, a buried project of the year and project of the year.

The LRWA, Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing Association confirmed that the growth in liquid applied technology was the fastest growing sector in roofing and has been borne out by the number of entries and finalists attending.

All submissions were received by an independent panel of 4 judges from across the industry including Building Surveyors, Architects and Liquid Experts, before deciding on a short list for each category to attend the awards.

Makers had succeeded in qualifying in 2 of the 4 categories, Project of the Year for the White Car Park at intu Nottingham Victoria using Triflex PMMA products and project over 1000m2 for the Roof Works undertaken at intu Merry Hill using Sika LPL, Polyurethane Products.

For the Project over 1000m2 Tor Coatings and Full Metal Jacket took first prize with the Grade I listed Temperate House at Kew Gardens. Although mainly a gutter refurbishment project this 5-year project had many issues including offsite preparation and remediation before returning to site.

Project of the Year went to Westwood Liquid Technologies and London Seamless Flat Roofing. Again, a Grade II listed building, this Georgian row of properties in Kensington had a refined balcony repair and waterproofing application.
