Abstract:
Preapplied waterproofing systems for below-grade foundation wall construction at confined sites have traditionally been designed for use with cast-in-place concrete. This can pose challenges for traditional waterproofing systems when shotcrete is selected. A new waterproofing system developed by Grace Construction Products and DeNeef Construction Chemicals uses proven chemical grout injection proactively to prevent water leaks before they occur.
