Project Description
For the sheeting and shoring, a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) was used for the foundation, complemented by a 20-mil vapor barrier to prevent moisture intrusion, especially given the high water table in the area. Additionally, a drain board was installed to facilitate proper water drainage and further protect the integrity of the structure.
Project Summary
The project required water management solutions due to a high groundwater level. A geosynthetic clay liner was applied for foundational sealing. A vapor barrier enhanced the moisture protection system. Finally, a drain board was installed to support drainage and ensure long-term structural integrity.

Important Questions About the Project
It protects the structural base from groundwater infiltration, which can lead to corrosion, cracks, and long-term damage. Proper waterproofing ensures the building's durability from the ground up.
Common methods include membrane application, liquid coatings, geosynthetic liners, and exterior sealing systems. The choice depends on soil condition, foundation type, and project requirements.
Yes, but it's more complex and costly. It's always best to apply waterproofing during the construction phase to avoid structural modifications and higher labor expenses later.
