With the testing of waterproofing products with regard to their effects on groundwater in accordance with building authority specifications and with external monitoring of factory production control, we offer you the basis for applying for general building authority approval.

For the protection of our waters, we test your coating and sealing systems for catch basins, catch spaces and surfaces made of concrete in LAU plants (in plants for storing, filling and transferring liquids hazardous to water), for coatings on concrete for use in JGS plants and biogas plants, and for coatings in fuel oil storage facilities. These services provide a basis for applying for a general building approval.

  • DIBt notified testing laboratory for testing the environmental compatibility of injection materials, sewer rehabilitation agents and structural sealants
  • Recognized testing, monitoring and certification body in accordance with state building regulations for the testing and monitoring of coating systems and repair systems in LAU and JGS facilities
  • Injection materials according to EN 1504-5
