Post-applied sheet membranes are a highly effective solution for below-ground waterproofing, but their success depends on a perfect bond to the substrate. A well-prepared, stable surface is essential, as any irregularities can compromise adhesion and overall performance. These membranes are adhered using specialized adhesive compounds, which may be integrated into the membrane or applied separately, ensuring a secure and continuous bond.

Attention to detail is critical, particularly at laps, terminations, and complex geometries, to guarantee a fully watertight seal. To complete the system, a drainage protection board should be installed, providing both protection and an efficient means of managing water pressure on the membrane. With careful installation and quality materials, post-applied membranes offer durable and reliable waterproofing for a wide range of below-ground applications.

Type A pre-applied membranes offer a highly effective and reliable solution for below-ground waterproofing, ensuring long-term protection against water ingress. These fully bonded membranes create a seamless barrier that prevents water from penetrating the structure, even under high hydrostatic pressure. Their pre-applied nature allows for easy installation before the concrete pour, reducing the risk of application errors and becoming fully engaged to prevent water from tracking and ensuring a strong, continuous bond.

Most have self-healing capabilities that automatically seals small punctures and with excellent durability, chemical resistance, and compatibility with various substrates, Type A Pre Applied membranes provide peace of mind for safeguarding structures from dampness and water-related damage for years to come.

When you hear the term “negative side tanking”, it might evoke thoughts of something undesirable. However, this tried and tested method of below ground waterproofing is anything but negative.

It is a method of waterproofing a structure from the inside (Negative Side), typically used in basements and underground structures that are fully or partly retaining. A technique that involves applying a waterproofing barrier membrane directly onto the internal surfaces of the structure to form a tight bond, prevent water from entering the internal space. A method that can be used in both new construction and existing.

Post-applied Type A liquid membranes are designed to seamlessly adhere to a variety of surfaces, creating a continuous, flexible barrier that effectively prevents water infiltration. Their ease of application makes them a favourite among contractors, as they can be quickly and efficiently applied to complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas. Once cured, Type A liquid membranes form a robust, elastic coating that can withstand structural movements, temperature fluctuations, and environmental stressors, ensuring long-term performance.

An external drainage layer plays a critical role in any below-ground waterproofing system. Its primary function is to relieve hydrostatic pressure by collecting and redirecting groundwater away from the structure before it reaches the waterproofing membrane.Description goes here
