We successfully managed the remediation of an open podium courtyard causing water ingress into the ground-floor lift lobby. Our structured approach ensured accurate diagnosis of the defect and delivery of a long-term waterproofing solution.
The project required careful investigation, coordinated remedial design, and structured contractor management to resolve underlying defects and prevent further water damage to the building.
We successfully managed the remediation of a common podium courtyard as well as the nearby planter boxes causing water ingress into the below carpark basement. Our structured approach ensured proper diagnosis and long-term waterproofing solutions.
The project involved coordinating multiple stakeholders while keeping the common gym operational during works, requiring careful staging and access management.
Identified the source of water ingress and developed a targeted remediation plan.
Managed planning, remedial engineering design, scope of works, contractor tendering, and compliance from start to finish.
Removed large trees from planter boxes, removed old bitumen waterproofing, created proper falls, installed high-quality waterproofing to podium and planter boxes, and reinstated planter boxes with soil for landscaping.
Verified waterproofing effectiveness and completed defects checks.

| Challenge | Challenge Description | Our Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uncovering Hidden Issues | Workmanship defects from the original builder were contributing to underlying waterproofing failures. | Conducted detailed investigation to identify root causes and developed a structured remediation plan addressing both visible and concealed defects. |
| Minimizing Disruptions | Works needed to be completed while maintaining resident access and building operations. | Scheduled and coordinated works carefully to minimise disruption and maintain access throughout the remediation process. |
| Ensuring Durability | Requirement for long-term protection against future water ingress. | Installed premium waterproofing systems designed for long-term durability and structural protection. |
