“Enhancing Terrace Waterproofing: Top-Up Solutions and Injection Grouting for Modern High-Rise Buildings”

Unlocking the potential of modern high-rise buildings goes beyond their architectural prowess. The terrace, a versatile space combining leisure and utility, plays a pivotal role. However, the integration of additional features post-initial waterproofing can pose challenges. We need to understand the importance of top-up waterproofing applications and injection grouting to fortify terrace waterproofing systems.

The Strain on Terrace Waterproofing

• Unveiling the demands faced by terrace waterproofing due to high-rise building design and increased terrace utilization
• Shedding light on the limitations posed by plot sizes and higher F.S.I, intensifying strain on terraces
• Emphasizing the significance of a robust waterproofing foundation prior to incorporating recreational and utility facilities.

Challenges Introduced by Additional Terrace Facilities

• Exploring the diverse range of terrace amenities, including jogging tracks, landscape features, play areas, solar panels, and telecommunication systems
• Examining how the installation and maintenance of these facilities can impact the integrity of the waterproofing layer.
• Addressing the vulnerabilities caused by punctures and wear and tear, potentially leading to permanent waterproofing damage.

The Solution – Top-up Waterproofing Application

• Unveiling the concept of top-up waterproofing as a remedial measure to address post-construction modifications and additions.  Outlining the key components of an effective top-up waterproofing application:

1. Sealing joints of anchors which are easy passageways for water percolation.
2. Implementing additional coatings in water accumulation-prone areas, particularly beneath the stubs supporting the added features on the terrace floor.
3. Utilizing injection grouting to reinforce weak spots and repair sub-surface fissures.
4. Employ preventive waterproofing coatings across the entire terrace and peripheral surfaces to safeguard against joint leaks and hairline cracks.

• Ensuring Long-Term Waterproofing Protection

Underscoring the significance of a comprehensive approach to terrace waterproofing encompassing all facets of the structure.

Highlighting the proactive measures necessary for long-term protection against leaks and damages. Terrace waterproofing in modern high-rise buildings demands tailored solutions. By embracing
advanced techniques, we can ensure long-lasting protection.
