On the beautiful blue Danube
The imposing new teaching building of the TUM Campus Straubing aesthetically combines a wooden facade with modern exposed concrete. Built directly next to the Danube on pillars, this new building prevents flood damage and blends elegantly into the existing embankment. The expansive space under the building between the columns serves as a parking lot. On the accessible space around the building, the WestWood® Wecryl waterproofing system under mastic asphalt was applied in just a few days to the highest quality standards. The high-quality and highly flexible PMMA waterproofing resin Wecryl 274 /-thix was used as a sealing layer with increased crack bridging. A total of approx. 1,100m2 could thus be permanently sealed and reliably protect the substrate against moisture penetration.
