The Water Pavillion was one of the thematic stands in Expo 98 in Lisbon, and in the end of the exposition it was dismantled and reinstalled in the Park of Porto City. The building was made by the architects Alexandre Burmester and José Carlos Gonçalves.

In November 2016 it was closed for expansion and remodeling of the building and surrounding area. The intervention will allow the increase of the exposition area, creating a multipurpose room and elevator, and some more administrative areas.

The Diera solutions were chosen for the thermal insulation of the enlargement structure of the building. The Adhesion Primer ADITEK P was previously applied on the surface, the collage of the EPS sheets with the adhesive cement Diera Therm LC Grey, and subsequent application of the Primer RV Plascryl and Diera RV Plascryl.
