RASCOguard FBV is a fresh-concrete bonded system based on TPO/FPO for waterproofing earth-contact concrete structures. The sheet is laid before concreting and, as the concrete hardens, forms a full-area, water-tracking-resistant bond with the structure – water cannot migrate between membrane and concrete. The system is CE-certified to EN 13967, tested against hydrostatic pressure (watertight above… Continue reading RASCOguard FBV: The Membrane That Fuses with the Concrete
Cracks in concrete form inevitably through shrinkage, temperature changes and loading. They are a physical phenomenon, not a construction defect. What matters is not preventing cracks, but controlling them: through targeted crack induction using crack inducers in new builds, or through crack and joint injection with acrylate and polyurethane resins in existing structures. The governing… Continue reading Concrete cracks. What matters is where.
A White Tank is a structural waterproofing system in which water-resistant concrete (WR concrete), combined with sealed construction joints, crack inducers and penetrations, takes on the waterproofing function itself, instead of an externally applied bitumen or plastic membrane. The system has been in use since the mid-1980s and is today the standard solution for basements,… Continue reading The White Tank: When Concrete Takes Over the Waterproofing
