Stirling Lloyd's Decseal® combined waterproof wearing course system has been utilised recently at Newcastle United's St James Park Stadium to provide durable, 100% effective long-term protection.

Based on Stirling Lloyd's market leading Eliminator® system, Decseal® combines a tough, flexible, seamless, liquid applied waterproofing membrane with a fully compatible, decorative skid resistant wearing course.

Durable yet lightweight with excellent abrasion, UV and chemical resistance, the Decseal® system has a proven track record of successful applications, including a previous contract at St James Park in 2003, which involved the installation of some 5,000m² of the system to the club's £2m Multi Storey Car Park.

It is the continued success of this application some eighteen months on, which has prompted the Premiership club to use the Decseal® system again, this time on the frequently used Newcastle Brown Stand concourse area.

With plans for the introduction of new shop premises directly beneath the concourse, and as a partially exposed area regularly subjected to heavy pedestrian traffic, the area required a waterproofing/wearing course system that was not only hardwearing, safe and aesthetic, but would also provide long-term effective protection.

As part of an on-going programme of maintenance at the stadium, PCiS Ltd, one of Stirling Lloyd's specially trained and authorised contractors, applied some 1,200m 2 of the system to the concourse exit area.
