The roof was originally covered in mineral felt and had air conditioning units scattered over the 5000m2. However, the mineral felt had failed; this had caused water ingress into the building below from areas on the roof where standing water had formed. To identify these areas, a thermal image was taken of the roof. The areas that had saturated insulation had to be replaced prior to coating.

The existing roof had a felt waterproofing system covered with chippings, which were adding excess weight to the roof and blocking the outlet pipes as well as causing leaks internally. As expected with an airport roof, there was also a huge amount of plant and roof lights, which put additional stress on the waterproofing. Liquid Plastics was called in at a stage where repairs were needed.
