GCP Applied Technologies has been observing the growth of blindside waterproofing in shotcrete applications and as a result has continued to advance their below grade waterproofing system for shotcrete foundation walls, PREPRUFE SCS Waterproofing System.

Slated for completion in 2019, the property will feature 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail space, plus a five-story, below-grade parking garage

In the last decade the term “value engineering” has gained prominence in the construction industry

Cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly, ICF construction has proven to be a superior way to build for both below grade and above grade applications

The risk of water leakage through below-grade waterproofing systems is an unfortunate reality of foundation construction

Many blind-side below-grade waterproofing systems include resistance to lateral water migration between the membrane and concrete as part of the manufacturer’s design concept

This detail is commonly used over below-grade concrete parking structures with stucco above.

Prior to designing waterproofing for a new building, the architect is faced with a plethora of questions

Waterproofing concrete is essential at below-grade areas to prevent water intrusion and structural damage. In many areas of the world we have exhausted the building sites having the good
