To provide permanent protection, structural waterproofing not only must it be designed professionally and quality assured, but it must also be built accordingly. When building the structure, the external conditions involved while making the structural waterproof play a governing role.

The issues of importance in connection with building the structure, that make a major contribution to quality assurance (as below), are:

— particular measures to be taken if constructing in bad weather

— temporary protection measures:

— protecting the structural waterproof on horizontal and gently sloping surfaces

— protecting waterproof connections

— protecting against thermal effects

— protecting the structural waterproof on wall surfaces when placing reinforcement

— protecting against penetrating groundwater, accumulating and surface water during construction

— protecting against the penetration of harmful substances.
