Durres Terrace & Indoor Waterproofing
In this project the object was to waterproof two different parts of a building. For two different challenges, Polaris Engineers developed two different solutions.
The first challenge was to perform a terrace waterproofing that would likely get winds with high velocity and excessive rainfall throughout the certain periods in a year. And to tackle this challenge, our specialists used polymer modified bitumen rubber in order for our work to withstand extreme weather conditions.
By using PMB (polymer modified bitumen), the strength, cohesiveness and resistance to stripping and deformation of bitumen was increased drastically.
The second challenge was to waterproof indoor areas that would receive dynamic loads on a daily basis. The material to be used should have been able to resist the continuous application of these effects. Thus, our engineers decided to use an elastomeric resin based waterproofing material to create a surface that can behave elastically under changing loads.
By finding two different solutions to two different problems in a single project, our team has completed more than 260 m2 of indoor and 320 m2 of outdoor waterproofing.
