Waterproofing
Don’t let water seepage bring you down. Explore seamless and reliable waterproofing solutions for both vertical and horizontal surfaces of underground structures by MESO Solutions.
Waterproofing
When constructing a retaining wall below the water table or in an area with a high-water table, waterproofing is essential to prevent water from seeping through the wall and causing damage or instability. At MESO Solutions, we use membrane waterproofing method.
Membrane Waterproofing
A membrane is applied to the surface of the wall to create a barrier that prevents water from penetrating into the wall. The membrane can be made from various materials such as asphalt, bituminous coating, or a rubberised coating.
When constructing a retaining wall below the water table or in an area with a high-water table, it is also important to install proper drainage systems to divert any water away from the wall. This can be done by installing MESO dewatering wells, which allow for the water to escape, maintaining a dry site.
See the transformation at the 'Oceanus' project, 46-48 Elouera Road, Cronulla. From exposed shoring walls to fully protected sheet piles, this video shows the before and after of MESO Solutions’ waterproofing installation.
Why choose Waterproofing Membrane?
The choice of waterproofing membrane as a solution for waterproofing retaining walls below the water table or in areas with high water tables is a common and effective method.
Waterproofing membrane is a popular solution because it provides a seamless barrier against water penetration, is relatively easy to install, and can be applied to vertical surfaces before installing Permanent MESO Reinforced Concrete Walls.

These images show the transformation of the sheet pile wall, from exposed to fully sealed with a waterproofing membrane, protecting the site - right up to the heritage-listed Post Office wall - from any potential leaks.

MESO Waterproofing
3 reasons why Waterproofing Membrane is a better solution for waterproofing underground structures compared to other methods
Seamless barrier
Waterproofing membrane provides a seamless barrier against water penetration, which minimises the risk of leaks and seepage. Other methods, such as coatings and sealants, may not provide a complete barrier, leaving areas vulnerable to water intrusion.Versatility
Waterproofing membrane is a versatile solution that can be applied to various surfaces, including horizontal and vertical surfaces, and can be customised to fit specific project requirements. This versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, making it a popular solution for waterproofing retaining walls.Durability
Waterproofing membrane is a highly durable solution that can withstand harsh environmental conditions and maintain its effectiveness over an extended period. This durability is critical for retaining walls, which are subject to constant exposure to moisture and water pressure and require a long-lasting solution to prevent water intrusion and structural damage.
