Water-retaining structures

The Drybase Tanking range of cementitious waterproofing products provides a number of options for the waterproofing of water-retaining structures. The choice of waterproofing system will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of water (e.g. potable water or effluent) to be retained and the construction type / material used to build the structure. Our technical department are able to provide information on the most appropriate waterproofing system for a given project. On larger projects, site visits can be arranged.

This website provides further information about waterproofing the following types of water-retaining structures:

• Swimming Pools
• Reservoirs / Water Treatment Works
• Sewers / Manholes
• Sewage Treatment Works
• Ponds and Water Features
• Planters
• Bund Walls

Even where structures have been built using expensive waterproof concrete to BS 8007:2008, consideration will still need to be given to the waterproofing of construction joints.
