Project Description
For this project, a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) was employed to effectively manage water and provide stability for the foundation, particularly given the structure's proximity to the water. Additionally, a heavy-duty liner was utilized for the foundation walls to ensure enhanced protection against moisture infiltration and to maintain the structural integrity of the building.
Project Summary
The project required waterproofing measures due to its close proximity to water. A geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) was installed for foundation stability and water control. Heavy-duty liners were applied to the foundation walls for additional protection. This ensured long-term resistance against moisture and maintained 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.
