Podium Slab Waterproofing - Risk involved

An effective and durable waterproofing system is absolutely critical to ensure the long-term durability of the structure and to keep maintenance costs obsolete by avoiding possible repair. In sensitive buildings areas like Podium slabs where you plan for water bodies, landscape, children play area sports facilities car parking and drive ways etc proper waterproofing system helps to keep out water and pollutants thereby preventing leakages and also protecting structural elements and embedded steel reinforcement from corrosion damage. A good water- proofing system has to ensure that it keeps performing at optimum level for a very long period of time, even beyond the warranty period to provide maximum value and comfort to the end-user.

Podium Slab Waterproofing - Requirements

• Large open areas-Excellent tensile and elongation properties to accommodate thermal movements
• Water bodies-Excellent barrier to water ingress and continuous exposure to water
• Landscaping-Resistant to root penetration even for intensive roots
• Sand Filling-Enable sand filling directly on the membrane without protection screed
• Chemical Resistance-Resista- nce to pesticides
• Medium duty traffic-Resistance to dynamic and Impact load
• Very high impact and puncture resistance-Able to sustain mechanical abuse during construction
• Zero VOC-Environmental friendly, meet the norms of green products for waterproofing
