Waterproofing
2024
We successfully managed the remediation of a common podium courtyard as well as the nearby planter boxes causing water ingress into the below carpark basement. Our structured approach ensured proper diagnosis and long-term waterproofing solutions.
The project involved coordinating multiple stakeholders while keeping the common gym operational during works, requiring careful staging and access management.
Identified the source of water ingress and developed a targeted remediation plan.
Managed planning, remedial engineering design, scope of works, contractor tendering, and compliance from start to finish.
Removed large trees from planter boxes, removed old bitumen waterproofing, created proper falls, installed high-quality waterproofing to podium and planter boxes, and reinstated planter boxes with soil for landscaping.
Verified waterproofing effectiveness and completed defects checks.

| Challenge | Challenge Description | Our Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uncovering Hidden Issues | Original waterproofing was bitumen and had to be ground back. Issue with glazing channel where pool glazing windows are located. Common gym remained open during works. | Introduced a hob to allow drainage and minimize risk for the glazing channel. Introduced other modifications once further unknowns were discovered. Leak detection system was installed to identify any compromises before pod/pavers and soil was installed. |
| Minimizing Disruptions | Scheduled works efficiently to maintain residence access while keeping facilities operational. | Staged works carefully to maintain resident access throughout. Coordinated with facility management to keep gym operational during remediation. |
| Ensuring Durability | Need for long-term protection and early warning system for future issues. | Premium waterproofing solutions with 20-year warranty. Leak detection installed to easily detect any future compromises, which can be repaired immediately. |
