Durability is a key requirement for modern infrastructure projects – highways and roads, bridges, airports and airfields, walkways and plazas, parking structures and stadiums. Miles of concrete must be designed to accommodate significant movement – especially in the joints – caused by unrelenting weather, temperature extremes, UV radiation and chemicals, such as de-icing materials and fuels.
It is a myth that waterproofing treatments can be carried out by application of single material on new concrete or existing treatments. There cannot be a single material that is right for every structure. Most of the failures in waterproofing are on account of this misconception. The only way to ensure reliable treatment is by considering the waterproofing treatment as a system. A System for Waterproofing can be defined as a combination of materials, preparation of specifications, application techniques designed by taking into considerations the requirement of the client or homeowner, which would provide efficient, reliable and long-term protection to concrete structures with minimum maintenance costs.
