Innovative Approach

In response to the growing need for clean water amidst challenges like water scarcity and global pollution, rigorous regulations and standards for water facilities have been put in place. Sika is dedicated to making valuable contributions in this regard.

Sika offers the most comprehensive range of products and systems tailored to meet the unique needs and specifications of water facility owners, architects, engineers, and on-site contractors worldwide. Our team of engineers provides full support throughout projects, from selecting the optimal waterproofing concept and detailed design to offering assistance with installation and ensuring successful project completion. Additionally, the company provides remedial solutions for existing structures as needed.

Sika’s waterproofing products for potable water reservoirs and tanks adhere to the stringent regulations set by public water authorities. Additionally, the food and beverage industry depends on the exceptional performance of Sika waterproofing systems for their process water tanks.

Before outlining the repair and protection strategy, it’s crucial to consider the unique requirements of the sewage treatment plant undergoing refurbishment. These requirements play a significant role in determining the appropriate design, planning, construction procedures, and future maintenance needs for the facility. Examples of project-specific requirements include durability, duration of closure or downtime, compatibility with existing systems, total life cycle costing, site conditions and exposures, as well as ecological considerations.
