Tanking – also referred to as below grade waterproofing – involves the application of a waterproofing barrier to the walls, the base slab and in some cases to the roof of the below grade structure. The goal of waterproof tanking is to encase the entire envelope of the below grade structure to protect it from water ingress.

High strength rock anchors are then drilled into sound bedrock and then connected to the structure to help the structure resist uplift forces. Where local hydrology allows, drainage systems can redirect some of the water away from the foundation, but they are generally not enough protection for finished basement space.

Interior concrete flooring always needs a solid barrier underneath it to prevent moisture from seeping up from the ground. A concrete flooring moisture barrier prevents cracking, curling, efflorescence and air quality problems, and it may even be a requirement in building codes and warranties. It can also lead to floor discoloration.

What Is Curing of Concrete? Curing performs a crucial role in the growth as well as the resilience of concrete strengths. Since applying water to that same concrete mixture there is an exothermic process that tends to toughen the concrete. Such an approach is termed the curing of concrete. Why Curing Is Important?
