Eco Friendly Planter Box Waterproofing from Radcrete

NUS Campus Link Bridge, SINGAPORE

A link between the new University Town and the National University of Singapore (NUS) campus spans across the busy Ayer Rajah expressway.

The NUS Campus Link Bridge is a 290m long viaduct, with one vehicle lane in each direction, a sheltered pedestrian walkway and a bike lane.

RADCON Formula #7 has been chosen as the environmentally-friendly waterproofing solution for the planter boxes, curving along both sides of the structure.

As Gerard Tan, of PQ Farben Pte Ltd explains: 'There are many significant benefits to using RADCON Formula #7 over traditional membranes. Once applied it reacts inside the concrete and essentially becomes part of the structure and will remain actively sealing future cracks forever."

"The product comes with a 100 year warranty, will never require maintenance and doesn't need any abrasion or UV protection", he adds.

RADCON is a water-based solution, has no VOC content or impact on IEQ compared to other concrete waterproofing substances based on solvents, suspensions and polymers.

The penetrated product remains reactive in the presence of water to provide increased autogenous healing capabilities to hairline cracking. It increases the concrete surface hardness and thus reduces surface wear. After correct application, no further maintenance is required to provide continuous water tightness.

"Ease of application was very important for the contractor," Gerard continues, "so was the non-toxic composition of Radcon, especially for protecting the plants included in the designs."
