In some construction projects, there is a need to apply waterproofing before the foundation concrete is cast. The problem was the lack of adhesive bond between the membrane and the concrete cast against it. This meant that even if minor damage occurred to the membrane, water could pass between the membrane and the concrete.

The waterproofing membrane for the Doha Metro needed to withstand demanding conditions, including ground water, an average annual temperature of 32°C, and the presence of chlorides and sulphates, which attack the reinforcement and the concrete. Because the waterproofing membrane bonds to the concrete, the risk of water seepage was minimized.

Water is under pressure below ground and forces its way through even the smallest cracks in the concrete. Concrete is also susceptible to damage in coastal areas. When concrete is directly or indirectly exposed to seawater, it can deteriorate due to sulphate attack and chloride-induced corrosion. Waterproof concrete.

How pre-applied membranes work Pre-applied membranes are laid down before the foundation is poured. The concrete is then poured directly onto the membrane. As the concrete on the foundation slab and walls hardens, it forms a bond with the membrane. The membrane is placed directly against the soil retaining systems.

Reinforcing mesh in concrete is used to improve the tensile strength of the concrete by helping it hold together hence limiting cracking. However, not all concrete requires reinforcement. Concrete that carries heavy loads such as foundation walls, footings and columns almost always need reinforcing mesh.
