Basement Slabs

Waterproofing to basement structures can no longer depend solely on admixtures as these admixtures are not able to withstand shrinkage cracks of concrete of 0.5 mm and above. With the presence of construction joints, it is crucial to include waterstops and waterproofing membranes into the systems’ design. For basement slabs subjected to high water table, an additional thicker waterproofing systems membrane is essential to be applied underneath basement floors to provide a protective layer against water seepage from underground.
