Cascina Merlata
ISOCAF S.R.L. took part in the waterproofing works for the new roofing system of the Cascina Merlata Shopping Center, located in the north-west area of Milan, within one of the most innovative urban regeneration projects in Europe. This commercial complex, an integral part of the new UpTown Milano district, is designed to offer a modern and sustainable experience, with wide green spaces, pedestrian pathways, and cutting-edge architectural solutions.
Starting in March 2023, Isocaf worked on a surface area of 49,000 sqm, carrying out a complete waterproofing intervention to ensure protection and durability of the shopping center’s structures. The work covered the entire roofing system, including walkways, planters, and water tanks, using a bituminous membrane to guarantee resistance to weather conditions and compliance with required safety standards.
As requested by the client, we also installed an advanced EFVM (Electric Field Vector Mapping) detection system on the waterproofing membrane. This system allows for precise and timely identification of any discontinuities in the waterproofing layer. By lightly moistening the surface and applying a low-voltage electric charge, the system can detect potential leaks by analyzing the flow of electric current. This innovative approach enables predictive and targeted maintenance, reducing the risk of water infiltration and minimizing the cost of future repairs.
The project required advanced technical solutions to ensure the maximum efficiency and functionality of the treated surfaces. The unique architectural layout of the complex demanded a careful study of construction details, allowing the waterproofing system to be fully integrated with the specific structural characteristics. The final result is a durable and high-performance protective system, essential to ensure the sustainability and quality of the shopping center.
ISOCAF S.r.l. confirms its role as a reliable partner for large-scale waterproofing projects, contributing innovative solutions to the successful completion of high-profile developments like the Cascina Merlata Shopping Center.
