Tekira
What was needed?
The roof covering at Tekira Shopping Mall in Tekirdağ had reached the end of its service life. Considering the weakening waterproofing, the risk of leaks inside and the maintenance costs, the decision was made to renew the roof with a durable, UV-resistant TPO membrane system. Karatay took on the roof renewal turnkey, from survey to handover.
Operational realities
Beneath the roof were shops, common areas and constant visitor traffic, so not a single drop of water could get inside during the works. The air-conditioning units, smoke vents, rooflights and rainwater outlets on the roof had to keep working, and the weather made planning even harder.
How we managed it
Before work began, the whole roof was inspected on site: the condition of the existing covering, insulation and deck was recorded and areas of moisture and damage were marked. A mechanically fixed TPO membrane system with hot-air welded seams was chosen, and separate details were prepared for critical points such as parapets, rooflights, equipment supports and outlets.
Site coordination
Delivered without interrupting operations
The roof renewal was completed while the mall was open.
No water leaked inside during the works.
All seams and details were checked and handed over after watertightness tests.
The new TPO covering gives the mall a long-lasting, low-maintenance roof.
