“…Sriravindrarajah and Tran [47] point out that the successful waterproofing of a building depends on considering several factors, such as product selection, membrane detailing, drainage design, substrate preparation, design, installation, quality assurance, and maintenance. The authors conducted a study in Australia intending to discuss the standards and codes, membrane systems and performance, waterproofing practices, design and installation techniques, inspection and testing, and quality assurance adopted by the waterproofing industry.…”

Considering the various problems caused by infiltration in civil construction, this study aimed to identify the most appropriate waterproofing methods for different types of surfaces. A study was conducted on the mechanisms of water infiltration on surfaces and the waterproofing methods available on the market, focusing on asphalt blankets, in addition to a literature review highlighting state-of-the-art methods on this topic. A case study was also conducted in a residence in Nova Lima, Brazil, analyzing different waterproofing techniques, including their characteristics and stages. Among the conclusions, it is highlighted that the implementation of adequate project, installation, inspection, and maintenance techniques can significantly reduce the waterproofing failure rate and repair costs, and that the excellent choice of materials, along with the skill of the labor force in the application, is fundamental to guarantee the adequate performance of these materials in buildings.

“…Waterproofing is used to eliminate or minimize any post-completion problems caused by several water damages like molds, rusts, and liquefactions. Waterproofing systems come from various forms and are applied in combination with other factors, including membrane details and design, product specification, application methodology, substrate penetration, quality inspection and assurance, and operation and maintenance (Sriravindrarajah & Tran 2018). The application of waterproofing must follow the project requirements, environmental factors, and materials availability (Song et al 2017).…”

This research study determined the maximum profit of the installation and application of waterproofing membrane using a linear programming model with the Microsoft Excel Solver aid. Setting the decision variables, objective function, and constraints on the real-life construction projects, some essential decision-making pointers were collected after getting the optimal result. This case is set in a month-long availability of the areas for installation and application of waterproofing system. Each activity's production rates are taken from previous and on-going projects in a different location in the State of Qatar. The construction projects are located in the municipalities and cities of Lusail,
