PROTECT YOUR

PONDS AND FOUNTAINS

ASSEMBLY YARD

The challenge of waterproofing approximately 43,000 sq. ft. of an outdoor set at the Assembly Studios movie production facility in Georgia included protecting four separate aquatic planter areas surrounding a central pond with multiple fountains. Previous attempts with a urethane coating system failed due to abrasion during pond cleaning, prompting the search for a long-term solution. Competing against urethane-based liquid coatings, the TechCrete 2500 Waterproofing System was chosen for its environmental friendliness, speedy application, long-term protection, and comprehensive labor and materials warranty, ensuring the project stayed on schedule while providing durable waterproofing within the concrete itself.

Resort Hotel

The waterproofing process for this expansive luxury hotel project, scheduled to open in 2024, spanned several years due to the phased construction of different parts. It was crucial that waterproofing applications for pools, roofs, planters, and bathrooms met tight timeframe windows to maintain the overall construction schedule. Despite competition from manufacturers like Pentens and Penetron, the TechCrete 2500 Waterproofing System was selected for its EMSS subsurface technology, offering long-term protection by forming a waterproofing gel within the concrete matrix. This solution not only ensured true waterproofing protection but also facilitated rapid application, ensuring timely completion of the ambitious hotel project and providing decades of outstanding waterproofing performance.

MAN-MADE POND

In the mid-1980s, the architect and engineer faced the challenge of waterproofing a natural-looking concrete pond over an underground parking structure and occupied space within a resort hotel development. The solution had to be environmentally friendly to support plant and animal life while providing long-lasting protection. Among limited options, only Spray-Applied Subsurface Membrane Waterproofing with EMSS technology met all requirements, offering effective and safe waterproofing for decades.
