Podium/Plaza

Modern urban buildings incorporate landscaped areas and roofs, known as podiums/plaza decks. It is used to maximize space utilisation, creating friendly mixed-use areas such as pedestrian and vehicle-accessible planted areas, gardens, leisure spaces and car parks. Based on how the podium is utilized, the structure is exposed to different stress factors: water, moisture, root effects, structural movements due to traffic and contaminants. Podiums are complex areas with many interconnections that create complexity in the waterproofing of the structure, which is why it is vital to choose the correct waterproofing systems to prevent any structural failure.
