Blog Injection Waterproofing

Water can leak into and out of structures due to cracks, failed joints and even through permeable substrates.  Once identified, if not treated, further problems can occur including the corrosion of reinforcement, thus resulting in the consequential loss of a usable area within the structure. 

 

Our resin injection systems are designed to stop water ingress through leaks, in concrete, masonry and natural stone structures.
Let's take a look below at some of the most common sources of leaks in a concrete structure.

Typical Sources of Leaks in Concrete Structures

Closing, sealing and flexible bridging of leaking cracks and honeycombing or voids in new and existing structures:
Injection for waterproofing leaking cracks 3d rendering
For sealing construction joints in a watertight structure:
Injection waterproofing systems for leaking joints
Waterproofing joints where the original joint sealing/waterproofing system is damaged or was not properly installed:
Injection for waterproofing leaking expansion joint 3d rendering
Closing, sealing and flexible bridging of leaking cracks and honecombing or voids in new and existing structures: 
Injection waterproofing for leaking honeycomb
Repairing and sealing by injection through flanges accessible from inside the structure:
Injection for waterproofing leaking sheet membrane 3d rendering
Waterproofing damaged and leaking sheet membrane compartment system:
Waterproofing injection systems for leaking penetrations at pipes.
Sealing leaks due to multiple tie bar holes or other multiple minor leaks:
Injection waterproofing systems for leaking walls.

Successful Waterproofing with Sika Injection Systems

Sika's injection systems can be used at any time - during the initial construction works, or later to extend the service life during any subsequent refurbishment, according to the specific project's requirements. Our injection systems can not only close, flexibly bridge, seal and make leaking structures watertight for the long term, some can also be used to increase or restore structural integrity and load bearing capacity, therefore providing complete and durable maintenance solutions. 

Sika's high performance injection materials are also fully compatible with Sika's complete Waterproofing range and they can be used for the repair and sealing of cracks, voids, joints, hoses and compartment systems in many different structures.
