Case study
Flat Roof Preparation in Dubai Hills
An in-progress look at roof waterproofing preparation in Dubai Hills Estate, from the existing surface to work at the parapet and walls.
Villa roof preparation
Project overview
Before the coating stage, the Dubai Hills Estate crew worked on a weathered flat roof with patches and changes in level. The site photos show the floor machine used across the open deck and separate preparation along the parapet, wall base and around service fittings.

Work in detail
Existing roof condition
The roof photos show a weathered flat surface with uneven patches and debris. The deck meets a raised wall and parapet, so preparation extends beyond the open area in the centre.
Preparing the deck and edges
Crew photos show a floor machine in use on the deck and hand tools being used at wall bases and around fittings. These views record the preparation stage and show where broad surface work gives way to closer detail work.
Why preparation extends up the wall
A flat deck usually offers a clear run for a floor machine. Parapet bases and fittings interrupt that run, and the photographs show those areas being addressed separately. The preparation record is particularly useful here because the wider view alone cannot show the condition around each penetration.
