Freyssinet Chooses Foamular Extruded Polystyrene From Austech External Building Products
Austress Freyssinet, the well respected international civil engineering company has been awarded the waterproofing and insulation contract for the roof areas of the Prince Henry Hospital in Sydney where the choice of insulation was a critical concern.
Mr. Sam Haidar, Manager of the NSW Division chose Austech’s Foamular Extruded Polystyrene as the insulation for their innovative system.
Foamular Extruded Polystyrene is a closed cell Extruded Insulation board that has high insulation values that are maintained over the long term (20 year Guaranteed).
The added benefits of minimum moisture absorption and high compressive strength ensure Foamular Extruded Polystyrene will contribute to energy efficiency of the building while protecting the waterproofing membrane while minimizing maintenance costs.
Freyssinet and Foamular Extruded Polystyrene from Austech are committed to supplying long term cost and energy efficient engineering and construction systems that will meet industry demands well into the future.

PRMA (Protected Roof Membrane Assembly) is a popular way to construct large commercial and public buildings. The concrete roof is waterproofed and then Extruded Polystyrene is placed over it, wrapping the roof in a continuous thermal barrier. This method not only provides superior insulation values, it also protects the roof membrane, giving the building a longer life span.
