Location

Summary

The project involved comprehensive substructure waterproofing and concrete repair for a newly constructed large commercial complex. Groundwater seepage risks and structural cracks were identified post-construction, requiring targeted injection work and robust protection of foundation, walls, and junctions to maintain long-term durability and safety.

Technical Diagnosis

Hydrostatic pressure exposed vulnerability at raft foundation, retaining walls, and junctions. Active leakage, cracks, and vulnerable construction joints required targeted intervention.

Implemented Solution

Hydraulic resin injection treatment at active cracks and joints

Flexible joint tapes at all wall-slab and slab-slab junctions

Two-layer torch-applied SBS bitumen membrane system installed with protection boards across substructure slabs and vertical walls

Detailing and sealing of all pipe penetrations and expansion joints followed by topcoat over waterproofing membranes for protection and enhanced durability

THE RESULTS

Achieved a watertight foundation with cracks, joints, and penetrations sealed

Long-term structural integrity and operational safety ensured
