Overview
This AIA-accredited webinar explores how integral concrete technologies can reduce waterproofing and durability risk by embedding performance directly into the concrete — not applying it to the surface.
Designed for architects and specifiers, the session examines why traditional membranes, coatings, and wear layers often fail over time, and how a system-based approach using KIM® integral waterproofing and Hard-Cem® abrasion resistance delivers long-term, defensible performance.
Learning Objectives:
-
Identify common failure points in traditional membrane-based waterproofing systems
-
Explain how integral crystalline waterproofing reduces permeability and self-seals microcracks
-
Evaluate where integral abrasion resistance improves lifecycle durability in high-wear applications
-
Apply system-based thinking to improve concrete performance without increasing construction complexity
-
Support defensible, performance-based specifications aligned with long-term risk reduction
The webinar focuses on performance-based design, risk mitigation, and real-world application, helping design professionals create concrete structures that protect themselves for decades.
