Waterproofing with TECNOCOAT H-2049 polyurea of the Al Wukair Logistics Center.


Al Wukair is an important logistic center located in Doha, the capital city of Qatar. This state-of-the-art facility serves as a hub for various logistics operations, including warehousing, distribution, and transportation services.

Al Wukair Logistic Centre is strategically positioned in close proximity to Hamad International Airport, the major airport in Qatar. This location enables efficient and seamless transportation of goods and cargo, enhancing the overall logistics capabilities of the region.

One of the key advantages of Al Wukair Logistic Centre is its connectivity. It is well-connected to major transportation networks, including road and rail links, allowing for seamless movement of goods within Qatar and beyond. This connectivity plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and enhancing the efficiency of supply chains.

Al Wukair Logistic Centre also emphasizes sustainability and environmental responsibility. It incorporates eco-friendly practices in its operations, such as energy-efficient systems, waste management strategies, and renewable energy sources. These initiatives align with Qatar's broader goals of promoting sustainable development and reducing its carbon footprint.

For this second phase of 120,000 square metres, the Al Wukair Logistics Centre has implemented effective waterproofing measures for its roofs by choosing an advanced solution such as Tecnocoat H-2049 polyurea and Tecnotop 2c White aliphatic coating as a finish coat and with a solar reflectivity index of 105 (SRI). This combination provides exceptional protection against water infiltration while offering additional benefits such as energy efficiency.

Tecnocoat H-2049 is a high-performance waterproofing membrane that forms a seamless barrier on the roof surface, effectively preventing water penetration. This advanced coating is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term durability and protection.

In addition to its waterproofing capabilities, Tecnotop 2c White  offers excellent solar reflectivity (105 of SRI) . This means it reflects a significant amount of solar radiation, reducing the heat absorbed by the roof. As a result, the interior of the logistic centre experiences less heat buildup, contributing to energy savings and improved comfort for occupants.

SRI is a measure of a surface's ability to reflect solar heat and is expressed on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher values indicating greater reflectivity. With an SRI of 105, Tecnotop 2c White exhibits excellent heat-reflecting properties, helping to reduce the cooling load on the building and lower energy consumption.
