System Engineering Analysis

Engineering Overview & Performance Capabilities

Water penetration is the foremost contributor to concrete rebar corrosion and structural degradation. CRO CHEM waterproofing engineering systems deliver continuous, seamless barrier technology, combining two-component elastomeric cementitious coatings, crystalline capillary waterproofing, and flexible joint sealants to resist high hydrostatic head pressure.

Technical System Methodology

From subterranean basements to open podiums and exposed roofs, our elastomeric membranes bridge structural micro-fissures and prevent efflorescence. Certified for potable water containment as well as wastewater and saline ground conditions.

Key Engineering Benefits

Withstands over 7 bar of positive and negative hydrostatic pressure
High crack-bridging capability even at low temperatures down to -5°C
Safe for potable drinking water structures (non-toxic formulation)
Seamless monolithic membrane eliminates joint failure risks
