Elevator Pit Waterproofing with Crystalline Technology

Full Description

Elevator pits—the concrete boxes that sit at the bottom of the shaft below the elevator cars—are a
simple structural system but can be highly susceptible to water intrusion, which will directly affect the structural and mechanical integrity of the elevator system. The following whitepaper evaluates various elevator pit water- proofing methods based on their reliability, accessibility and long-term durability. Particular emphasis is placed on crystalline waterproofing and its application as a long-term solution in new construction and remedial repair techniques for existing elevator pits.
