Located in the regional centre of Geelong, Victoria, the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre is more than just a repository for books. Designed by renowned Melbourne firm ARM Architecture, this environmentally sustainable showcase features unique glass fibre reinforced cladding distinguished by approximately 550 panels. The facility encompasses community and children’s meeting spaces, staff offices, an internet zone, an IT training and technology hub, reading and community lounges, study areas and a café, serving as a contemporary cultural hub for the regional community.
To meet the highest performance and sustainability standards, the project focused on:
- Delivering waterproofing solutions aligned with the building’s environmentally sustainable design principles and iconic architectural vision
- Providing reliable protection for the unique external cladding system featuring 550 glass fibre reinforced panels
- Ensuring long-term durability and low-risk performance for a landmark cultural facility serving diverse community functions
Envirosystems Solution
Envirosystems was approached during development in 2014 to provide a waterproofing solution for the external cladding system at the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre. The specification required preparation and application of a waterproofing membrane system aligned with the sustainable design principles behind this iconic project. EnviroPrime P2 and Enviro Flex Pro were used to meet the library’s complex requirements.
EnviroPrime P2 provided essential substrate preparation for the unique cladding system, while Enviro Flex Pro delivered high-performance elastomeric polyurethane joint sealing throughout the development.

Circular Quay Tower rises up to 263 metres high, making a distinctive contribution to Sydney’s skyline with its innovative facade featuring a series of external cross-braces derived from structural stress diagrams. This landmark development in one of Sydney’s most prominent harbourside locations demanded robust waterproofing solutions for extensive below-grade structures, ensuring protection in a complex construction environment adjacent to Circular Quay. The project’s architectural ambition and structural complexity required versatile systems capable of adapting to challenging site conditions.
To meet the highest performance and sustainability standards, the project focused on:
- Delivering reliable blindside waterproofing protection for below-grade structures in a constrained harbourside construction site
- Providing pre-applied membrane systems that form continuous bonds with structural concrete during placement
- Ensuring trafficable protection during steel-fixing operations to maintain construction efficiency on a complex high-rise project
Envirosystems Solution
Multiple Enviro solutions were deployed across Circular Quay Tower, with Enviro BSM serving as the primary blindside waterproofing system. This pre-applied composite HDPE sheet membrane is specifically designed to waterproof the blind side of concrete slabs and walls in below-grade applications.
Enviro BSM comprises three integrated layers: a heavy-duty HDPE layer providing core waterproofing integrity, a pressure-sensitive reactive adhesion layer that activates during concrete placement to form a continuous bond with structural concrete, and a trafficable protective layer that shields the membrane during steel-fixing operations prior to concrete casting. When applied systematically, this complete solution delivers versatile and innovative waterproofing protection for complex below-grade structures, proving ideally suited to the demanding construction requirements of this prominent Sydney landmark.
Products Used
