What are the common methods used for waterproofing industrial architecture design?

Some common methods used for waterproofing industrial architecture design are as follows:

1. Membrane Waterproofing: This method involves the use of a membrane made of synthetic rubber or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to provide a waterproof barrier.

2. Cementitious Waterproofing: Cementitious waterproofing is done by coating the surface with a mixture of cement and special chemicals to create a waterproof barrier.

3. Bentonite Waterproofing: Bentonite waterproofing involves the use of a bentonite clay layer that swells when it comes in contact with water, creating a watertight seal.

4. Crystalline Waterproofing: This method involves the use of crystalline substances that react with moisture to form a waterproof barrier.

5. Injection Waterproofing: Injection waterproofing involves injecting a waterproofing material such as epoxy or polyurethane into cracks, joints, and other voids in the structure.

6. Grouting: Grouting involves the use of a specialized solution that is injected into the ground or walls to create a waterproof barrier.

7. Sheet Metal Waterproofing: This method involves the use of sheet metal panels on the exterior walls to provide a water-resistant barrier.
