PROTAN BLUEPROOF GREEN WATER ATTENUATION SYSTEM ON CONCRETE SUBSTRATE
Protan BlueProof is a new and SINTEF-approved (TG 20541) water attenuation system for new and existing roofs (also known as a blue roof). Protan BlueProof Green expands the function of the roof and helps prevent floods and water damage.
With this system, water is gradually drained and allowed into the storm drain network, avoiding overloading resulting in floods. The system not only solves current problems with storm floods, but also those of the future. Protan can calculate the predicted volumes of water for roofs in specific locations during storm events. Water loads can then be taken into account at an early stage during the building’s construction, ensuring the roof’s structure can retain the calculated water.
This is often cheaper than utilising other methods of water attenuation.
Protan BlueProof combines a trusted waterproofing system and a water attenuation system in one. Thus keeping a building’s contents secure whilst reducing the effects of flooding on the surrounding environment.
Water attenuation calculations are carried out by Protan and are based on the project's location, local authority requirements and the roof's design. Roof slopes can be reduced to 1:100 fall to provide the optimum water attenuation as well as a lower roof profile.
Protan BlueProof Green system takes the concept a step further by allowing the roof to be utilised further, whether this is a extensive green roof or a roof terrace for recreational use. A void beneath the protection layer allows for a water magazine to build up in the event of a storm.
Quality assurance of installation
A Protan BlueProof Roofing System shall always be calculated and planned in detail by Protan AS. The roofing system must be installed by roofing contractors specially approved by Protan AS. Their roofers must have passed "Roofing school" (a certificate containing the relevant basic education in Protan's roofing handbook) and attended Protan BlueProof roofing training.
All roofs must be undertaken visual inspection done by a person especially appointed by Protan. During the inspection focus shall lie on good melt out along all welding joints on the roof area as well as around details and endings.
After completing the roof installation, a water flood / pressure test of the roof area has to be carried out, alternatively, verification using electronic leak testing.
Maintenance
For Protan BlueProof annual inspection is required to be in front of possible damages. All Protan BlueProof roofs require a maintenance agreement with the building owner. This will ensure qualified inspection and maintenance of the roof and its components up to two times a year during the roofs lifetime.

INSULATION:
Various types of insulation can be used in combination with Protan membranes and can be flat insulation or sloped insulation. The material type and design will depend on the building design, fire classification and local regulation requirements.
