PROTEUS WATERPROOFING has played a central role in the delivery of the landmark Welbourne development in Tottenham Hale—a £100 million mixed-use scheme forming part of a £500 million masterplan to regenerate one of London’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods.
Working in close collaboration with Complete Waterproofing Services Ltd, Proteus designed and supplied a bespoke blue/green roof system that met the project’s stringent planning and sustainability requirements, and also overcame complex technical challenges relating to structural load, drainage co-ordination and waterproofing integrity.
As a flagship project combining high-density housing, essential infrastructure and ambitious environmental standards, Welbourne demanded innovative solutions at every level—and that included the design and integration of a reliable, high-performance blue/green roof.
Blue roof technology was identified as a critical
part of the SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems)
strategy for the development. In response,
Proteus delivered a technically-demanding,
multi-functional blue/green roof system capable
of supporting water attenuation, as well as
providing integrated biodiversity, recreational
landscaping and energy-eĩcient insulation.
The complexity of the design required
meticulous workmanship. The Proteus Hot
Melt® system provided the robust primary
waterproofing layer, supported by XPS Plus
insulation and a patented blue roof system,
which is part of the complete Attenu8® system
by Proteus. Every element was tested and trialled
through site demonstrations before
full installation.
The Welbourne Blue Roof project is a good
example of collaborative design innovation,
sustainable construction and technical
excellence. It demonstrates how strategic partnerships can overcome complex design constraints to deliver a resilient, beautiful and
functional roofing solution.
