PROJECT
Bondi, NSW
Bridgecrete Group was engaged to rectify ongoing water ingress affecting a mixed-use building in Bondi, NSW. Investigations identified deteriorated and failed cavity flashing as the primary cause of water penetration into both residential and commercial tenancies.
The project was completed within a fully occupied building, requiring careful planning and coordination to ensure residents and the ground-floor commercial business remained operational throughout the works.
To facilitate the repairs, sections of the existing brickwork were carefully dismantled and temporarily propped to maintain structural stability. New compliant cavity flashing was installed to restore the building envelope and prevent further water ingress before the brickwork was reinstated to match the existing façade.
