Challenge
Swedish is the largest nonprofit health care provider in the
greater Seattle area with several hospital campuses. Swedish’s
innovative care has made it a regional referral center for
leading-edge procedures such as robotic-assisted surgery and
personalized treatment in cardiovascular care, cancer care,
neuroscience, orthopedics, high-risk obstetrics, pediatric
specialties, organ transplantation, and clinical research.
In 2009, Swedish broke ground on a new state-of-the-
art medical center in Issaquah. A trusted roof system was
required to protect the 200,000+ yearly patients and medical
equipment of the world-class acute-care medical facility. An
accelerated construction schedule was also required to beat
the onset of winter.
Solution
Siplast delivered a high-performance roof system with dependable waterproofing and overburden solutions to help protect the outdoor spaces where patients, staff, and visitors can gather.
- Reliable roof for long-term performance
The hospital’s main roof was constructed with the robust and resilient Siplast Paradiene® 20 EG/30 FR TG System. Siplast liquid-applied Parapro PMMA Flashing was applied to provide high-performance waterproofing protection. - Customized overburden solutions for
pedestrian spaces
Pedestrian roof areas were waterproofed with Siplast Paradiene® 20 EG/20 TG and a paver overburden solution. Vegetated roof areas were waterproofed with Siplast Teranap, our modified bitumen waterproofing ply designed for use in homogeneous multi-layer modified bitumen plaza deck waterproofing membrane systems. - Completed on a tight timeframe
The project was completed within the tight turnaround schedule, ahead of the winter season.
Swedish Hospital’s Issaquah campus facility was able to meet the health-care needs of the community with its brand-new medical center, and continue with its life-saving procedures and treatments on schedule.

Teranap Plaza Deck Waterproofing & Green Roofing Systems
In the 1970s, environmental awareness began to grow, and so did the use of green roof systems as a way to manage environmental impact. Of course, both plaza deck and green roof applications create significant waterproofing challenges. That's why Siplast Research and Development took their pioneering SBS-modified bitumen technology and applied it to the design of a waterproofing membrane for plaza deck and green roof applications: Teranap.
