Water proofing latest techniques and solutions, describes techniques for water proofing which are different from conventional techniques and the benefits of it. It also describes Bituminous coating technique.

1. WATER PROOFING
SOLUTIONS

2. Water Proofing Latest Techniques
◦ Flexible membrane waterproofing techniques (liquid-applied)
◦ Liquid applied flexible membrane based waterproofing is most popular and used waterproofing system
now a days. Membrane based waterproofing can be effective on horizontal or vertical surfaces and for
positive or negative water pressure
◦ Silicone based waterproofing techniques
◦ To protect the vertical surfaces from rain water, we can use this technique. Concrete has tiny holes and
various capillaries that have been developed during concrete formations. These holes and capillaries
make concrete porous and hence water permeable.

3. Bituminous Coating
◦ Bituminous Coating Waterproofing Method. Bituminous coating is a type of coating used
forwaterproofing and flexible protective coat in accordance with its formulation and
polymerization grade. Its flexibility and protection against water can be influenced by the
polymer grade as well as reinforcement of fiber.
