Whether your retaining wall is holding back damp earth or is below the water table, Hycrete waterproofing products can protect against water damage.
Even in difficult conditions such as where shotcrete is used for a retaining wall, Hycrete admixtures securely barrier water and protect the concrete against damage. Because absorption is significantly reduced, your wall is also protected against effluorescence.
