Optimizing Water Management with Bituminous Waterproofing
The water used during the production of bituminous waterproofing components is primarily for cooling. This process has a minimal environmental footprint, as water is returned to the ecosystem with only a slight temperature increase.
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Flat roofs with a slope of less than 5% offer superior water retention compared to sloped roofs. This simplifies urban drainage and reduces pressure on city infrastructure. Adding a roof garden or extensive green roof over the waterproofing significantly enhances this retention capacity.
Waterproofing systems utilizing gravel protection also aid in rainwater management, mitigating the risk of overloading drainage systems during heavy storms.
Pollution Prevention and Water Safety
One of the key benefits of modern bitumen membranes is that they cause no leaching pollution in surface water. Runoff from roofs with bitumen waterproofing can feed directly into surface water systems, eliminating the need for complex and expensive drainage setups.
