Grace Construction Products - A Leader in Foundation Waterproofing and Concrete Protection Products

Waterproofing structures below ground has always been a major construction challenge. It becomes an even bigger design issue when the substructure is below the water table. Surprisingly, these are common requirements even in otherwise hot and dry climates, such as the Middle East, where water chloride and sulphate in the ground subject the sub-structure to a very aggressive environment and cause the concrete and reinforcing steel to deteriorate if left unprotected. Therefore, it is mandatory to use a proven and reliable foundation waterproofing system to protect the substructure.

Below grade waterproofing and foundation protection

Preprufe® – advanced waterproofing solution from Grace Construction Products

Grace’s Preprufe® waterproofing solution is based on a unique patented technology. It represents a fully-adhered pre-applied waterproofing system engineered for protection of below-slab and blind-side applications. Scientifically designed Grace’s patented Advanced Bond Technology™ allows the membrane to aggressively adhere to the concrete, preventing water migration between the waterproofing and the structure, even if the membrane is breached.
