Skilled engineers
According to Mr. Njuguna, most waterproofing systems present advantages and challenges that need to be weighed against project objectives in order to determine which system is right for the structure. To achieve this, the firm has employed skilled engineers and technical teams who listen to clients, and make site survey to come up with solution. “After site survey our teams of engineers advise the clients on the appropriate system to be applied. However, like any other industry there are some challenges that still drag the industry for instance, some clients may insist on a system that is unfit for certain applications.However, regardless of the system selected, the best results are produced by adhering to the manufacturers’ instructions regarding application and installation.
