Digging deep: Deep foundation design challenges

GCP Applied Technologies

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. A fully adhesive bonded, pre-applied waterproofing membrane offers the highest degree of protection in these circumstances. Waterproofing.
