What you can observe
In design or work preparation, several responsible parties are involved in concrete, joints, drainage, coating and finishing.
Problem guide · New build
I want to design a waterproof underground parking garage
Basement, deck, ramp and joints must function as one water-controlled structure.
Problem · cause · effect
First understand what is going on.
Only then choose a system.
Why timely assessment helps
If interfaces are distributed late, leakage paths, repair costs and discussions about responsibility may only become visible after commissioning.
What is being technically investigated
Record water load, concrete concept, joints, penetrations, deck and floor finishing and inspection moments early in one coordinated system and demarcation scope.
Possible causes
The visible complaint is not always the real cause.
These causes constitute a targeted checklist, not a remote diagnosis.
Unclear demarcation between concrete, joint and coating scope
Late choice of waterproofing or traffic finishing
Penetrations, pouring joints and ramps are designed separately
Project-specific control
Three components determine the correct next step.
The Problem Guide provides direction, but does not make an unfounded material claim. For a final system choice, we check the situation on location or based on sufficient project information.
- 01Construction parts, interfaces and responsible parties
- 02Loads, surfaces and desired performance
- 03Planning, documentation and quality control
Value of a complete approach
Don't just recover.
Making the project manageable.
- Expose critical interfaces before execution
- Link inspection moments and documentation to the construction schedule
- Jointly assess waterproofing, floor loading and maintenance
In-depth and evidence
From recognizable problem to verifiable project information.
Frequently asked questions
Answered briefly and technically honestly.
When should system selection start?+
Preferably in design or early work preparation, before joints, slopes, penetrations and finishes are final.
Can one party carry out all disciplines?+
Not always. PolyShield can coordinate appropriate specialist scopes and partner companies within one project framework.
What information is needed first?+
Drawings, water load, concrete concept, joint plan, planning, use and desired delivery documentation.
Short route to implementation
Check with two questions whether the project fits.
The project fit prevents an unnecessarily long application. Your problem situation is selected in advance and known data then travels automatically.
