Our below-ground waterproofing systems protect structures from water ingress using advanced materials like Krystol Internal Membrane and Cavity Drain Systems. These solutions comply with BS 8102:2022 standards, ensuring durability for critical infrastructure such as data centres and museums. Clients benefit from tailored technical guidance and nationwide contractor support.
Gas Proofing
Gas-proofing solutions prevent harmful gas migration in contaminated land projects. Systems like Gas Seal Black and Structureseal GPT create impermeable barriers, ensuring safety for residential and commercial developments. Technical support includes site-specific design and compliance with environmental regulations.
