Waterproofing Systems for Saudi Infrastructure

NGS supplies the full waterproofing system range — from pre-applied membranes installed before slab pour through to sheet membranes on completed structures. Specified to international standards (ASTM, ISO, BS EN) and engineered for Saudi temperatures, salts, and ground conditions.

Why waterproofing matters

Concrete cracks. Water finds the cracks. The membrane is what saves the structure.

In Saudi Arabia's ground conditions — high salinity, fluctuating groundwater, extreme temperature cycles — concrete alone is not sufficient to keep water out of buildings, basements, tunnels, and reservoirs. The waterproofing membrane is the critical layer that protects everything downstream.

NGS supplies six membrane system families covering every application — below grade, above grade, podium, tunnel, reservoir, roof, and joint sealing. Each system is selected based on structural details, exposure conditions, design life, and installation timing.

Waterproofing System Range

Six membrane families. Engineered for the application.

From pre-applied blind-side barriers to UV-stable exposed membranes — each system specified to the structure, exposure, and design life.

PA

Pre-Applied Membrane

Installed before concrete pour. Bonds mechanically to fresh concrete creating an integral barrier. Best for blind-side applications where the soil side cannot be accessed after construction.

PoA

Post-Applied Membrane

Installed on cured concrete after the structure is built. Self-adhered or torch-applied bituminous, or sheet HDPE systems. Standard solution for accessible structures.

EPDM

EPDM Rubber Membrane

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer — synthetic rubber sheet. Exceptional flexibility, UV resistance, and 30+ year proven track record on roofs and ponds.

PVC

PVC Membrane

Polyvinyl Chloride sheet. Reinforced versions for roofs, podiums, and structural waterproofing where chemical resistance and weldability are priorities.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What waterproofing systems does NGS provide?

NGS provides FPO and HDPE membranes (its featured systems), plus EPDM, TPO, and PVC membrane systems for below-grade, podium, tunnel, and reservoir applications — covering pre-applied and post-applied methods.

Which waterproofing membrane is best for below-grade structures?

FPO and HDPE sheet membranes are well suited to below-grade and water-retaining structures due to their durability, chemical resistance, and strong bond to concrete. NGS advises on the right system based on the structure, exposure, and ground conditions.
