Rehabilitative waterproofing

Rehabilitative waterproofing

Many infrastructures like dams, canals, bridges and jetties are prone to different weathering mechanisms during their operation time. As these erections are designed for long service periods, reconstruction is seldom an option for these structures due to financial, environmental and engineering constraints. Refurbishment is usually required after a certain time. Many procedures are used to such rehabilitation works. Some of these methods are:

  • Water jet surface demolition and repair with different mortars
  • Mechanical surface removal and repair using mortars
  • Waterproof Shotcrete application
  • Application of appropriate coatings
  • Demolition of parts of the structure.

These methods require implementation of special equipment, skilled personnel, experienced designers, know-how and a durable, working system. In some situations, the solution is to demolish the whole or part of the structure rather than to rehabilitate it. Knowledge of the structural aspect of the construction is necessary to ensure safe work. We provide the whole controlled demolition using wire systems of high pressure water cutters.

Windavar, with the support of its international partners, can provide the necessary support for all of these rehabilitations.
