Drytech realised the waterproofing of a rooftop swimming pool with the Drytech Tank waterproof concrete structure.

Overlooking Lake Maggiore, immersed in the woods above Ascona, the house with a hanging pool designed and designed by engineer Bonalumi for himself.

The pool occupies part of the top floor and, from the water, the view sweeps across the entire lake.

The bottom of the pool is the slab of the master bedroom.

The structure is a Drytech Tank in exposed waterproof concrete, with the edge of the pool completely covered with the Drycoat waterproof covering.

Waterproofing of a residential complex in contact with the sea

The conversion of the industrial port area, west of the Genoa airport, also involves the construction of the Borgo alla Marina residential complex.

The Drytech Tank was chosen for the waterproofing of a large residential complex in direct contact with the sea.

When construction was complete, the waterproofing of the underwater level was tested by flooding the site perimeter.

After checking the watertightness of the Drytech Tank, the structure was launched by removing the sheet piling.

The conversion of the industrial port area, west of the Genoa airport, also involves the construction of the Borgo alla Marina residential complex.

200 prestigious apartments, with relative berths and garage, overlooking a new tourist port.

Below the buildings and the square, in direct contact with the sea water, is the covered parking area for residents.

Piscina a sfioro immersa in un giardino acquatico, anch’esso a sfioro. Con una vista mozzafiato sul lago di Lugano.

Double waterproofing for the infinity pool surrounded by a water garden, also an infinity pool with a breathtaking view of Lake Lugano.

This striking pool is a Drytech Tank with three walls against the ground and one – lake side – fully exposed.

Waterproofing the thermal plant

by
The residential center La Città sul Mare in Savona, in fact, heats up in winter and cools down in summer by exploiting the sea temperature.

The Drytech Tank waterproofing system was used for the sea inlet of the Città del Mare’s thermal plant, as well as for the two floors of the underground car park, which is exposed to a 5-metre water table, as can be seen from the jet pressure coming out of the pump shaft in the third picture.

The residential center La Città sul Mare in Savona, in fact, heats up in winter and cools down in summer by exploiting the sea temperature.

Excellent news for the sky arrives from the sea.

The plant is zero-emission and, using a renewable and free resource, provides a definitive solution to the problems of atmospheric pollution and the soaring costs of fossil energy sources.

The Savonate housing complex was built by Meraviglia Spa of Bulgarogrosso (CO) and was designed by the Technion Srl and Ellevi di Lecco design studios.

The 120 apartments are served by a heating system connected to a sea outlet, built on the boulder pier facing the complex.

The basic principle of the system is the substantially constant temperature of the sea water (about 18 ° in this stretch of coast).

The pipes of the heating and air conditioning system from the building run underground to the sea intake, where the heat pump is located, which uses sea water as a source or as a heat sink.

The transport of thermal energy takes place through the same water. Water that is sucked from the sea, brought up to the heat exchanger and, therefore, released.

The system has a positive energy balance: it supplies more energy (heat) than electricity needed for its operation (the ratio is at least 1 to 4 or higher, up to 1 to 6).
