Podium slab waterproofing is a critical construction practice that involves protecting the concrete slab in a podium or elevated platform area from water infiltration and moisture damage. It typically includes the installation of waterproofing membranes or coatings on the podium slab's surface to prevent water from seeping into the underlying structure. Proper waterproofing is essential to maintain the structural integrity and longevity of the podium and the spaces beneath it, such as parking garages, gardens, or commercial areas.
