PREPRUFE Plus®

High-performance, fully adhesive, pre-applied waterproofing system for underground infrastructure projects: subways, parking lots, tunnels, water supply and sewage systems, bomb shelters, etc.

What is the weakness of most waterproofing systems?

Most underground waterproofing systems have one common weakness. The membrane lies next to the concrete but is not bonded to it. If a puncture occurs somewhere, pressurized water finds this gap and begins to travel between the film and the structure, seeking an exit meters away from the damage site. It then becomes nearly impossible to find the true source of the leak, and repairs turn into uncovering the entire structure.

01

Lateral migration of water into the structure and around it.

02

Water uplift through seams of poorly designed or incorrectly installed waterproofing membrane.

03

The complexity of processes and conditions regarding the use of many systems on the modern market.

Preprufe® — a foundation where water cannot penetrate or migrate

Preprufe® is designed so that the membrane is laid during concreting, and the concrete is poured directly onto its adhesive layer. During the hardening process, the concrete forms a solid, unbreakable bond with the membrane — they become one. This is the main advantage from which all others flow. In case of integrity violation or installation errors, this fully bonded membrane ensures that water under hydrostatic pressure cannot migrate between the membrane and the concrete, thereby limiting the risk of catastrophic failure of the waterproofing.

The PREPRUFE® Plus membrane can be applied with a minimal crew and without special installation equipment, as the scheme is simple: the 'push-out' design allows workers to unroll the sheet in seconds. The double adhesive seam ZipLap™ allows sheets to easily bond to each other, and the adhesive is designed to withstand common adverse conditions on the construction site – dust, debris, and moisture.

PREPRUFE® works immediately. You can walk on the membrane right after installation — rebar is installed the same day. It does not activate prematurely from rain or moisture, is resistant to dirt, movement, and UV until pouring.

Ideal for dense construction. When building has to be done 'in a pit', close to neighboring structures, and there is no external access to the walls — Preprufe® is laid from inside the pit to the structure. This is often the only possible solution on a limited site.

A regular membrane protects the concrete. Preprufe® becomes part of it. That is why this waterproofing is designed for the entire lifespan of the structure — with over a billion square meters installed worldwide and 25+ years of proven reliability.

Product Advantages

Advantage 1

Water does not migrate. Since the membrane is bonded to the concrete over the entire area, there is no gap through which water could move.

Advantage 2

No complex conditions for installation and simplicity of execution, saving time on the construction site.

Advantage 3

Withstands colossal pressure. Thanks to its adhesion to concrete, Preprufe® resists lateral water migration under pressure exceeding 70 meters of water column.

Advantage 4

Effective protection of the building from the penetration of radon and methane gases.

Advantage 5

Not afraid of soil settlement. The membrane moves with the structure because it is part of it.
