Underground Water Tank Waterproofing

Underground water tank waterproofing is a critical aspect of ensuring safe, contamination-free water storage in modern high-rise buildings and residential complexes. At Leakproof. in (www.leakproof.in), we specialize in providing comprehensive waterproofing solutions for underground RCC tanks, essential for maintaining water quality and structural integrity.

Importance of Waterproofing in Underground RCC Water Tanks

Underground RCC tanks, including fire and domestic water compartments, are vital for storing municipal water supply in high-rise buildings. Proper waterproofing is crucial to prevent water leakage, seepage, and contamination caused by moisture ingress. Leakage not only results in water wastage but on ingress promotes algae, bacteria, and worm growth, compromising the potability of stored water.

Design & Construction Considerations

The design of RCC underground tanks involves raft slabs and reinforced RCC walls, with careful handling of movement joints, construction joints, and temporary joints. Ensuring proper load distribution per design standards requires vigilant site supervision and correct construction practices, such as providing accurate haunches at all joints.

Waterproofing Techniques for Underground Tanks

Effective waterproofing practices are essential for both the external (positive side or blind side) and internal (negative side) surfaces of underground water tanks:

  • Positive Side Waterproofing: Acts as the first line of defence by preventing water ingress through membranes, like crystalline coatings, and other conventional waterproofing coatings. This preventive method safeguards the tank structure from external water pressure and soil moisture, minimizing contamination risks.
  • Negative Side Waterproofing: Involves internal sealing via chemical injections, sealants, and multiple layers of cementitious polymer coatings. These ensure water-tightness of the walls and base, withstanding internal water pressure and preventing leaks.
