There are a lot of things in waterproofing specification that can come back and bite you. Ground water contamination issues, product quality, system incompatibility, applicator skill, supplier backup – the list goes on and on. Don’t approach waterproofing bit by bit. It's too risky an area to have gaps in a specification. It’s no good having a dry roof if the basement isn’t. Or a balcony membrane that can’t be detailed into a window reveal. Fail-safe waterproofing specifications take the whole structure into consideration - top to bottom, basement to roof.

Industrialised Building System (IBS) is a mechanical building system for construction works. In offsite construction - or modular building - typically more than 80% of the construction is completed off site, and the component parts (or modules) are transported to the site for assembly. The sector is growing in popularity due to its many benefits such as less time on the construction site, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, improved quality control, reduced waste and sustainability. It can also help to address specific, local construction challenges, such as dealing with skilled labor shortages or meeting local regulations.

Cost overruns and tight timelines are a common thread for tunneling projects. From concrete admixtures and shotcrete to waterproofing membranes and injections, Sika tunneling technology stands up to the highest quality standards and contribute to efficient tunneling construction.

Modern bridges are predominantly built in reinforced concrete and designed with a service lifespan of more than 100 years. Many existing bridges and road infrastructure already exhibit significant degrees of degradation and are therefore in need of substantial and often urgent repair and refurbishment.

For many decades, Sika has been a reliable partner with waste water treatment plant contractors, supplying products and systems on all continents. Sika solutions used in new waste water treatment plants and retrofitted structures withstand harsh conditions in the real environment.
