Added protection for former WWII bunker with Derbigum and Blackdown

Latest News Wed, Dec 6, 2017 12:52 PM

Tucked away in the rolling hillsides of Monmouthshire is The Decoy Bunker. The original bunker was built in 1941 and was designed as a special decoy target for German bombers. The secluded bunker has now been fully restored and is now a unique holiday home.

As part of the design the bunker needed to blend directly into the hillside therefore a highly durable waterproofing system that could provide full protection from the water travelling down from the surrounding landscape was needed. A green roof solution that would provide the maximum blending effect was also required to give it the desired ‘camouflage’ effect.

With Derbigum being a system that holds 40 year durability certification with the BBA (British Board of Agrément) – a Derbigum Black Anti-Root Built-Up System was the ideal solution. The Derbigum system sits below the Blackdown intensive green roof and provides a highly reliable waterproofing solution and maximum peace of mind for the future. Alumasc’s Registered Contractors Span Roofing carried out the installation with great results.
