The CGI Waterproofing System is a cost-effective and environmentally safe solution to stopping water infiltration in below-grade foundations, cellars, elevator pits, tunnels, mechanical rooms, vaulted structures, and garages. CGI performs “concrete gel injection” by drilling and injecting a two-component hydrophilic resin system through the negative, or interior, side of the structure using our specialized equipment. The two liquid components, which are water-like in viscosity, penetrate the tiniest cracks, fissures and water pockets to the full depth of the substrate and travel to the compromised membrane above, chemically reacting to form a flexible gel barrier. CGI’s methodology is beneficial and advantageous as a result of the gel’s properties, and by implementing its technology from the negative side of the foundation, all costly and disruptive exterior excavations common with traditional waterproofing applications are avoided.

Methodology
Qualities and Benefits
PROPERTIES
- Water-like viscosity
- Highly elastic and adhesive
- Lab tested as non-toxic, non-flammable and non-hazardous
- Little to no odor produced during and after reaction
- Will not promote growth of fungi, mold or bacteria
- Cleans with water requiring no cleaning solvent
- Resilient against water containing oil, salt and/or sewage
ADVANTAGES
- Disruptive exterior excavations avoided
- Implement technology during active leaks
- No drilling to the positive side required, avoiding damage to existing waterproofing membrane(s)
- Controlled setting time calculated based on active water pressure and volume
- Occupies and seals water entry points for the life of the structure
BENEFITS
- Reclaim unusable space
- Restore structural integrity, durability and appearance
- Reduce unhealthy and unsafe tenant conditions
