Podium Decking
Podium decking refers to an elevated concrete slab commonly used in multi-storey construction. Positioned between structural levels, it serves as a reinforced platform that supports the building above while creating functional space below—often for residential units, commercial areas, or underground parking.
The top of a podium deck is frequently designed to accommodate outdoor features such as green spaces, patios, or drive aisles. Because of its horizontal exposure and structural role, podium decking requires specialized waterproofing to prevent moisture penetration that could compromise both the slab and the spaces beneath it.
Teccon uses advanced spray-applied waterproofing systems like SpraySeal, combined with effective drainage strategies, to ensure podium decks remain watertight and structurally sound. Proper protection at this level is critical to preserving the building envelope and maintaining long-term performance.
Applications
DMX Drain 15X™ is recommended for the following applications:
- Deep Foundation Walls
- Retaining Walls
- Caisson Walls
- Shallow Planters
- Structural Drainage for Tunnels
DMX Drain 15X™ compliments a liquid applied or sheet applied waterproofing product for a total systems approach to waterproofing. DMX Drain 15X™ provides excellent protection of structural components during the concrete pour and diffuses hydrostatic pressure around any structure to promote positive drainage outlets.
Drainage Board Solutions
Teccon offers advanced Drainage Board systems designed to enhance the performance of your waterproofing system and provide added protection for foundations. Our DMX Drainage Board is a premium product that helps manage water flow, reducing the risk of moisture penetration and ensuring your foundation remains dry and structurally sound.
Key Benefits of Drainage Board:
Hydrostatic Pressure Relief
The DMX Drainage Board effectively channels water away from the foundation, reducing the pressure that builds up against the concrete. This minimizes the risk of leaks, cracks, and water damage over time.
Superior Waterflow Management
The drainage board features a high-performance design with a dimpled surface that creates an air gap, allowing water to flow freely along the foundation wall and be directed to the drainage system. This ensures that excess water is efficiently diverted away.
Durability and Longevity
Built to withstand harsh conditions, the DMX Drainage Board is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), making it resistant to both physical damage and chemical degradation, providing lasting protection against water intrusion.
Enhanced Waterproofing Performance
When combined with SpraySeal waterproofing, the drainage board adds an additional layer of protection by preventing water buildup and allowing your waterproofing membrane to perform optimally.
How It Works:
The DMX Drainage Board is applied to the exterior foundation wall, with its unique dimples creating a space between the membrane and the foundation. This space allows water to flow freely towards the foundation drain, preventing hydrostatic pressure from building up and reducing the likelihood of water intrusion. By installing a drainage board along with SpraySeal, you create a fully integrated waterproofing solution that maximizes the effectiveness of both systems.
For long-term protection, ensuring proper drainage is key, and the DMX Drainage Board plays a vital role in creating a robust, efficient waterproofing system that helps maintain the structural integrity of your foundation.
