Planned Maintenance
Any roof with a guaranteed waterproofing system, whether green or not, requires periodic maintenance to ensure the validity of the warranty. Typically serviced on an annual basis, maintenance is essential for ensuring maximum system efficiency, with directives as follows:
The introduction of a costly “low maintenance” sedum blanket on top of the waterproofing, while initially attractive, fails to satisfy the pre-requisite maintenance requirements and stipulations.
When making provisions for scheduled maintenance, consideration for a “man-safe” or “falls arrest” system is a legal requirement and key legislation and standards which must be adhered to are:
A safe working environment is the responsibility of every building owner, employer and public body organizations, with annual inspections to certify man-safe and falls arrest systems.
The Green Roof Partnership provides a scheduled maintenance plan incorporating all four key components with allowances made for access requirements, covering the entire country.
