Waterproofing lift pits at an historic university
When Portsmouth University had problems with leaking lift pits within the campus buildings Structuralwise were called upon to proved a guaranteed solution to keeping the lift pits dry and free of water ingress. The injection waterproofing system used by Structuralwise is ideal for waterproofing lift pits and has many advantages over traditional waterproof render systems that are used to waterproof lift pits. One major advantage is the fact that the waterproofing can be done with minimum disturbance. For more information read our Experts article looking at various lift pit waterproofing systems.
The images below show the flexibility of our injection waterproofing system. No longer does all the lift gear have to be removed from the lift pit area to waterproof the area as with other waterproofing systems. Structuralwise are able to waterproof with all the existing lift gear in situ. By drilling the walls of the lift pit and introducing ‘packers’ we are able to inject behind the walls of the lift pit without the costly expense of removing lift gear. To add an extra element of protection following injection this lift pit was also finished with a waterproof paint.
