ADVANTAGES OF OUR SOLUTIONS

Potable water is an essential foodstuff. That requires absolute clean and watertight
facilities to process and store it. Waterproofing of reservoirs and tanks containing potable
water must not only be watertight over long periods, but shall also be easily maintainable,
food safe, and harmless to health. Sika waterproofing products used in potable water
reservoirs and tanks comply with the strict regulations of public water authorities. Food
and beverage industry rely on high performance of Sika waterproofing systems in their
process water tanks. As the global leader in providing structural waterproofing solutions,
Sika has the most complete and comprehensive range of products and systems, that are
designed and can be adapted to meet the specific needs and requirements of owners of
water reservoirs, architects, engineers and contractors on site.

construction method and sequence, ease of application and total cost management. This is required
as potable water, out of all natural resources, is our most essential foodstuff. Potable water, stored
in reservoirs, needs to be protected to stay clean. Water reservoirs and tanks must therefore be
watertight and must fulfill demands of long service life.

Sika’s expertise is combined with more than 100 years of ex- projects, from initially determining the best waterproofing
perience from all around the world in the successful water- concept, to the detailed design and site support for successful
proofing of water retaining structures. Sika waterproofing installation and completion on site, including remedial solu-
experts are able to support our customers throughout their tions for any existing structures.

SIKA WATERTIGHT CONCRETE

INTEGRAL, RIGID AND COST EFFICIENT SYSTEM

The concept of watertight concrete involves optimum structural design and re-
inforcement together with an integral rigid waterproofing solution. This consists
of a waterproof concrete, combined with an appropriate joint sealing system for
any necessary construction and movement joints. To produce watertight concrete
requires admixtures including superplasticisers and pore-blocking or active crystal-
lization agents, in order to ensure optimum consistence, flow and easy compaction
in a dense matrix of minimal voids. In addition, Sika joint sealing systems are used in
watertight concrete, such as FPO-based waterstops, hydrophilic sealants and gas-
kets to seal construction and expansion joints.

WATERPROOFING MORTAR SYSTEM

Sika waterproof mortars and mortar admixtures for rigid waterproofing lining in
potable water tanks have excellent technical properties to seal against damp soil,
seepage and percolating water. These materals are applied on prepared, internal
concrete surfaces manually, or by spray to provide excellent solutions for compli-
cated detailings. The post applied waterproofing mortar is used in combination with
joint sealing products. Applied Sika waterproofing mortar linings have long lasting
service life.

SYSTEMS
In situations with loss of water due to localized damage of the rigid waterproofing
system, appropriate repair works have to be undertaken in reservoirs and tanks, wa-
terproofed either by watertigh concrete, or lined with waterproofing mortar layers.
This can be done by injection or application of a waterproofing mortar.

The success of a durable and tight injection work is a combination of Sika’s materials
and equipment selection, as well as application experience.
