Waterproofing Systems

Basement Waterproofing

Below-grade tanking for rafts, retaining walls and pits against a high water table.

The engineering brief

What basement waterproofing involves

High water tables and chloride-rich soil place continuous hydrostatic pressure on below-grade structures across the UAE. Once water reaches the reinforcement, repair costs multiply.

Construct & Coat installs fully bonded pre-applied and post-applied tanking systems to rafts, pile caps, retaining walls and lift pits, with every construction joint, tie-hole and penetration detailed before the pour.
