Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief

The construction industry has grown immensely over the years. Contractors have been leveraging technological developments into waterproofing systems and products to offer more advanced, high-performance solutions that address the environment, safety, and health challenges.

Fremont, CA: Waterproofing is one of the major aspects of building construction. Since construction is carried out in a controlled environment, foundations, roof covering materials, and sidings require waterproof and water-resistant qualities to stay durable and long-lasting.

Notably, nanotechnology is one of the prominent technologies being used in this sector currently. Nano coating comes with the attribute of being hydrophobic and oleophobic, which, in turn, helps in repelling oil, water, dirt, and dry particles.Similarly, nanoparticles can be used as binders for the cement to improve its strength, workability, and durability. 

Nanoparticles can also be used for repairing mortars or for self-healing concrete and crack recovery in the future.

Another technology widely being utilized in construction is crystalline waterproofing. This technology is considered a superior replacement for conventional membranes. Crystalline waterproofing makes porous concrete an impermeable barrier that will offer a powerful defense against water damage and corrosion.

As the construction industry has been growing immensely over the years, contractors have been leveraging technological developments into waterproofing systems and products to offer more advanced, high-performance solutions. Construction companies can largely address the environmental, safety, and health challenges of paramount significance by utilizing such technologies.
