Not all Slabs on Ground in #basements are flat and straight forward. Some, like the one in the picture below taken from one of the many massive projects in Dubai, can be very tricky because, 1. The piles and the anchor bars are encroaching into the bottom of the slab. 2. #Hydrostatic pressure is high. 3. The soil (Weak sand and rock) is #Chloride saturated. 4. The Substrate is too deep. 5. There is high pressure in the soil from the neighbouring buildings. 6. A 2-3m raft slab will be poured throughout. How would you design the #waterproofing for this basement to achieve a minimum of 25-year warranty (The norm is the UAE)? What optimisation would you consider to to achieve optimum results? We welcome your comments. ‐----------‐-------------------------------------------------- info@balehconsulting.com.au 02 8880 6750 Follow Baleh Consulting - Below Ground Waterproofing for more educational posts. #BalehConsulting #basementwaterproofing #Belowgroundwaterproofing

Autumn Nights: A Concrete Milestone Our team successfully delivered a 1500 m³ concrete pour for the Raft at Matbaa Station at Cairo Metro Line 04 project. This high-performance mass concrete, formulated with a durable, self-compacting crystalline waterproofing agent, is a key component of the raft foundation. Key Highlights: * Night time Efficiency: The pour took place during the cooler nights, reducing fresh concrete temperature below 18°c and optimizing curing conditions. * Advanced Materials: The use of self-compacting concrete for congested reinforcment sections and crystalline waterproofing ensures long-lasting durability and protection against water infiltration. This significant success marks another step forward in the construction of Cairo Metro Line 04, a vital transportation infrastructure project for the city. 3S Ready Mix

🏎️ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐐𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐫 🏎️ The Lusail International Circuit in Doha is undergoing a major upgrade to become a top racing destination. Renovation efforts in 2023-2024 required innovative solutions for slope reinforcement and retaining walls, especially in confined spaces around underpasses. To address these challenges, 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢’𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲. The MacWall system is a Modular Block System for Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls (MSEW) that combines Keystone Blocks and Paragrid geogrid to reinforce soil. By using self-compacting aggregates and cement-stabilized fills, the need for conventional backfill layers and extensive compaction was minimized, streamlining the construction process. Maccaferri and the local agent M/s. Chairman Trading&Contracting Company were involved in design, supply and construction for the scope of MacWall MSE wall system in the project.
