Duration

6 Weeks

Location

Jumeirah 3, Dubai

Summary

This project involved waterproofing for a multi-story commercial basement car park exposed to high hydrostatic pressure. The project integrated pre- and post-construction waterproofing systems to establish a continuous, durable barrier against water ingress, protecting structural elements and maintaining long-term durability.

Technical Diagnosis

Reinforced concrete raft, retaining walls, and ramps were vulnerable to water table pressure, chloride contamination, and chemical attack. Joints, penetrations, and substrate details demanded a multi-layer waterproofing system to ensure long-term performance.

Implemented Solution

Concrete repair carried out with crystalline admixture and hydraulic resin injections to seal cracks and strengthen slab, retaining walls, and ramp substrates

Application of liquid-applied waterproofing membrane at penetrations and difficult-to-access areas to ensure continuous, seamless coverage without gaps

Torch-applied two-layer SBS bitumen sheet membrane installed over raft foundation with protective boards to shield membrane from mechanical damage and traffic

Spray-applied polyurea coating applied to retaining walls providing robust, chemical-resistant, and flexible protection across all vertical surfaces and complex details

THE RESULTS

Robust waterproofing envelope eliminated seepage and condensation

Seamless protection over large and detailed areas with durable chemical and water resistance
