Duke French Science Center

The Duke French Science Center project located in Durham, NC and utilizes the American Hydrotech MM 6125 Hot Rubberized Asphalt waterproofing system as the base for the Ultimate Assembly and Garden Roof Systems. The concrete pavers utilized on this project were provided through Hydrotech from Hanover Pavers.

Grand Bohemian Charlotte Plaza

The Grand Bohemian Hotel project is located in Charlotte, NC and utilizes the American Hydrotech MM 6125 Hot Rubberized Asphalt Waterproofing membrane to waterproof the plaza space between the hotel and the adjacent building. Various overburden materials were installed over the membrane to provide an occupiable plaza space.

University of Tennessee Engineering Building

The University of Tennessee Engineering Building project is located in Knoxville, TN and utilizes the American Hydrotech MM 6125 Hot Rubberized Asphalt Waterproofing membrane as the base layer of an Intensive Garden Roof System. This roof was designed as a part of the overall project’s stormwater management system. Utilizing 12” of Lite Top Soil and a layer of Rock Mineral Wool, Hydrotech was able to engineer the system to hold large amounts of storm water on the roof top for a period of time, thus reducing the impact fees paid by the University for storm water runoff.
