To keep a 3000m? basement watertight, Sika technology is being utilised in a property near Newmarket.
Over 300m? of the company's watertight concrete with Injectoflex jointing has been used by the contractors to ensure that the basement, including the 15m by 5m by 1.5m pool, is watertight to Basement Grade Three standard.
