Diretrizes para elaboração de projeto de impermeabilização

Abstract

This study aproaches the guidelines for elaborating a waterproofing project. This stage is often not recognized for its importance, being left in the background by builders and architects, and as a result generating financial damage, health problems for building occupants and even reducing the life span of structures. The study intends to reinforce the importance of an adequate waterproofing system in order to avoid damage caused by infiltration. Through a bibliographic study, through published books, product information materials and internet, research it will reinforce the importance of having a waterproofing project that is in accordance with the requirements of the NBR 9575 standard of Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT, 2010), as well as provide general knowledge about waterproofing systems and present guidelines for the development of waterproofing projects. The research demonstrated the importance of developing a good waterproofing system before construction, thus avoiding damage with corrections, ease of maintenance, increased quality and useful life, in addition to adding value to constructions.
