Business Activities - WATER PROOFING DIVISION

Unicon Limited is one of the pioneer organizations in the field of Waterproofing in State of Qatar and possesses unmatched technical expertise. It provides a total waterproofing solution covering all areas of applications - including but not limited to raft foundations, wet areas, roofing, water tanks, sewerage tanks, bridge decks and car parks. Waterproofing is done utilizing a wide range of high class materials.

Our scope of work is:

Providing Contracting Services for Waterproofing of Foundation, Roofs and any Wet areas for Industrial, Commercial and Residential buildings, and substructures

 Each year, Unicon Limited waterproofs an average of 1.9 million sqm. on various projects in Qatar. Based on conditions such as weather, nature of construction materials, durability and transparency, and scope of work, we employ a wide variety of materials in our projects.

The waterproofing materials that we specialize in include:

  1. Waterproofing Membrane

Waterproofing membranes are manufactured from polymer bitumen modified with elastomer and plastomers. It is rot proof and has extremely good elongation and resistance to heat, aging, piercing and puncture.

2. Protection Boards

Protection boards are used as a permanent protection for most waterproofing and damp proofing systems. They shield the waterproofing membrane from a wide variety of impacts

3. Thermal Insulation

In extreme hot climates like Qatar, the high energy demand for air conditioning requires materials that could minimize the energy consumption, and keep the temperature low for maximum periods. The thermal insulation materials that we employ are renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties, resistance to water absorption and diffusion, dimensional stability, high compressive strength, aging resistance and good resistance against bacteria, pest and other micro-organism.

4. Separation Layers

Our separation layers belong to world-leading brands like Typar and Terram and well-known for their outstanding toughness and durability as well as resistance to rotting, moisture and chemical attack. They also exhibit high tensile strength, puncture strength and resistance to loading.

5. Flexible Board

A flexible board is normally used in the roof screed slabs in expansion joints. It offers the concrete bays with the flexibility of expanding and contracting during extreme weather conditions and helps prevent cracking.

6. Screeding System

Screeding systems are used for roof slopes and membrane protection. Polysulphide sealants are used to seal the concrete joints once the screed is casted in bays as they exhibit excellent adhesive qualities and good resistance to most chemicals and multi-weather conditions.

Our Waterproofing Guarantee

We guarantee that our waterproofing systems will retain their watertight integrity for 5 to 10 years, depending on the materials used.

If any defect occurs due to the quality of the material used or workmanship during the specified period, we will repair it at our expense.

Reporting and Repairs

In the event of unfortunate leakage we will dispatch an expert inspector to assess the situation and maintenance and repairs will be undertaken within 48 hours.

Our waterproofing division is manned by a team of more than 200 people including engineers, foremen and labors. Waterproofing projects spread all over Qatar stand testimony to our expertise and experience.
