2019 LRWA FINALISTS HIGHLIGHT THE VERSATILITY OF LIQUIDS
The finalists of the Liquid Roofing and
Waterproofing Association (LRWA) Awards
2019 have been revealed.
Now in their third year, the awards showcase
outstanding workmanship and technical
excellence across the liquid roofing and
waterproofing sector.
Entries were judged by an independent panel,
including specifiers and technical experts. Each
project was scored in line with strict criteria,
including project complexity, standard of
workmanship, evidence of problem solving and
aesthetics.
A total of 20 projects have been shortlisted across
four categories, including Liquid Roofing Project of
the Year under 1,000m², Liquid Roofing Project of
the Year over 1,000m², Liquid Roofing Project of
the Year in a Buried Application, and Liquid
Waterproofing Project of the Year – covering nonroofing
applications such as car parks, bridges
and balconies.
Three people are also in the running to be
crowned Trainer of the Year.
The winners will be announced at the LRWA
Awards and Gala Dinner on Wednesday, 6th
November 2019. At the event there will also be an
award for Student of the Year and a Chairman’s
Recognition Award for an individual who has
made a special contribution to the liquid roofing
and waterproofing industry.
Sarah Spink, CEO of the LRWA, commented: “The
quality and diversity of this year’s entries has
been extremely impressive. The shortlisted
projects feature a vast range of different buildings
and structures in a variety of sectors including
residential, commercial, rail, heritage, utilities,
and healthcare.
“These projects clearly demonstrate the versatility
of liquids and shine a light on the complex
workmanship that is so often required in the sector
as well as the need for effective problem solving.
The winners will be announced at the LRWA Awards and
Gala Dinner which takes place at the Titanic hotel in
Liverpool’s Stanley Dock, on Wednesday, 6th November
2019.
“We look forward to celebrating with the finalists
and representatives from across our sector at the
