Bituminous membrane waterproofing for foundations.
View projectBituminous Membrane Waterproofing in Egypt
ISC Group installs bituminous waterproofing membranes for roofs, foundations and basements in Egypt. The membrane, application method and protection are selected to match the approved design, exposure and condition of the substrate.
APP and SBS membranes for roofs and below-ground structures
APP and SBS describe different types of modified bitumen. Selection depends on the product data, required flexibility, temperature exposure and installation method. The number of layers, reinforcement and thickness are part of the specified system; they are not interchangeable details.
Roof waterproofing
We review slopes, drains, parapets and service penetrations before laying the membrane. Exposed roofs and protected roof assemblies require different detailing and finishes. Where the roof also needs thermal insulation, the complete sequence of layers is coordinated before work starts.
Basement and foundation waterproofing
The system must remain continuous between the foundation, retaining walls and construction details. Protection before backfilling and subsequent trades is included in the installation scope. Existing water ingress may require crack injection as well as membrane repair.
Installation and inspection
- Review the drawings and inspect the substrate, moisture and access.
- Repair defects and prepare the surface and compatible primer.
- Install the specified membrane with controlled laps and terminations.
- Detail corners, drains, penetrations and transitions to adjacent work.
- Inspect the completed system and install the specified protection.
Torch-applied work requires suitable site controls. Self-adhesive systems have their own preparation and application requirements. The project method statement follows the selected manufacturer’s instructions.

View projectQuestions about bituminous waterproofing
Is a bituminous coating the same as a sheet membrane?
No. A coating, primer and reinforced sheet membrane perform different roles in a waterproofing assembly. A product should only be used for the purpose and application conditions stated in its technical information.
Can a new membrane go over the old one?
The existing layers, adhesion and trapped moisture must be assessed first. Some roofs need local repair or removal before a replacement system can be installed.
What is needed for pricing?
Provide the roof or foundation area, drawings, specification, condition photographs and access information. Details and protection can affect the cost as much as the main membrane area.
