A leaking metal roof is a common issue in factories, warehouses, industrial facilities, and other large buildings. However, the point where water appears inside the building is not always the actual source of the leak. Water can travel along the roof surface or structural elements before becoming visible. Therefore, before choosing a metal roof waterproofing…
What Is PMMA? PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) is a high-performance acrylic resin widely used in the construction industry as a cold liquid-applied waterproofing system. Once mixed with a catalyst, PMMA cures rapidly to form a seamless, durable waterproof membrane with exceptional adhesion and weather resistance. Unlike traditional sheet membranes, PMMA is applied in liquid form, allowing…
Roof ventilators are commonly installed on industrial buildings to improve air circulation and help reduce heat buildup inside the facility. However, installing a ventilator also creates a roof penetration, which can become a potential entry point for rainwater if the ventilator base and surrounding details are not properly waterproofed. A leaking roof ventilator on a…
A leaking roof is more than just an inconvenience—it can interrupt production, damage equipment, increase maintenance costs, and even compromise workplace safety. Many facility owners assume leaks occur because the roof membrane has reached the end of its service life. In reality, most industrial roof leaks originate from a handful of critical details rather than…
Safety challenges in working at height in the wind energy sector Wind turbine maintenance is among the highest-risk activities in the renewable energy industry. Technicians routinely work at significant heights, under strong wind conditions, in confined spaces, and within tight operational schedules. In many cases, accidents in wind energy do not originate from turbine failure…
Demonstration project: Triflex waterproofing trial for hangar roof VIVABLAST recently carried out a Triflex waterproofing demonstration project for the Vietjet aircraft hangar roof at the Long Thanh International Airport development in Vietnam. The demonstration aimed to evaluate the suitability of Triflex liquid-applied waterproofing systems for complex industrial roofing structures and critical detailing areas. The hangar…
From technical training to compliant execution under real site conditions In large-scale infrastructure projects such as airports, roof waterproofing is a critical discipline that demands not only high-performance materials but also correct technical understanding and precise on-site execution — especially for complex roofing systems. Following an in-depth technical training program at the workshop of VIVABLAST,…
A proactive approach to controlling CUI in harsh industrial environments In the oil & gas and heavy industrial sectors, Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) remains one of the most critical yet difficult-to-detect threats to the integrity and service life of piping systems and equipment operating under insulated conditions. Because CUI develops beneath the insulation layer, it…
Maintenance challenges in port and logistics operations Port and logistics equipment such as quay cranes, RTG/RMG cranes, reach stackers, conveyors, and roller systems operate continuously under heavy loads while being exposed to sand, dust, and high humidity. Despite these conditions, many operators still rely on manual grease guns for bearing lubrication. This approach often results…
Problem: Recurrent Leakage in Pressurized Water Pipelines In April, VIVABLAST completed a repair project on DN600 and DN900 potable water pipelines for SWIC in Ho Chi Minh City. The pipelines had previously been repaired using hot welding. While this method temporarily sealed visible defects, leakage reoccurred shortly after the system returned to operation. This pattern…
