SkyCity Fire
Our sympathy goes out to everyone affected by the fire at Sky City.
As a contracting company we are mindful of the huge stress an incident like this places on all parties.
If the fire is caused, as speculated, from a torch used to heat and seal waterproofing material on a roof, we think it’s time for architects and specifiers to reconsider the use of bitumen-based building products on roofs. There are other superior products available, for example TPO Membranes, which don’t require naked flame burners for installation, thus eliminating fire risk and toxic fumes.
Maybe this is the wake up call required. Still, very sad for all involved!
