UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES
Underground structures such as basements, tunnels, foundations, and water tanks are constantly exposed to hydrostatic pressure, moisture infiltration, and aggressive ground conditions. Without effective waterproofing and structural protection, these elements are highly susceptible to water ingress, corrosion of reinforcement, cracking, and long-term degradation. Ensuring watertightness and structural integrity below ground is not only crucial for safety and durability but also to prevent costly repairs and disruptions. The complexity of underground environments demands robust, durable, and permanent solutions that can perform under pressure—literally.
