They are isolated from the interior slabs supporting them by structural thermal breaks. Concrete-to-steel thermal breaks connect to the interior slab and isolate the steel clips that attach the rainscreen to the façade. For this project, the design team specified several hundred Schöck Isokorb ® structural thermal breaks.

Tanking – also referred to as below grade waterproofing – involves the application of a waterproofing barrier to the walls, the base slab and in some cases to the roof of the below grade structure. The goal of waterproof tanking is to encase the entire envelope of the below grade structure to protect it from water ingress.

The solution was a concrete floating floor. A jack up floor system was proposed which involves raising the floor off the structural slab, on either spring or rubber mounts, to interrupt the transmission path for ground borne sources of vibration. Third, concrete is poured over the area, level with the top of the mounts.
