Drytech Ireland created the waterproof structure for the basement of Cherrywood TC4, covering an area of 19,567 m².
The complex is part of a new urban centre located in the south of Dublin, which includes residential units, schools, offices, sports facilities and parks, making Cherrywood one of the largest urban development projects in Europe.
Using the Drytech White Tank system, we designed, installed, built and guaranteed the waterproofing of the entire basement.
Residenza 27 has two basement levels, built with the Drytech Tank waterproof structure in recycled waterproof concrete, which house the garage, technical rooms and cellars.
The Residenza 27 project was created to convert an obsolete residential area into a new energy-sustainable building, certified Minergie-P and built entirely with recycled concrete, offering apartments with a high level of living comfort.

Waterproofing of surfaces with Drycoat architectural coating, which adheres like a second skin to the design of the pool and threshold along the entire façade.
The iconic villa designed by architect Mauro Galfetti stands out first and foremost for its perfect brutalist profile. Underneath the entire property is a waterproofed basement level with a complete Drytech Tank – floor, elevations and slab – which houses the underground floor of the first apartment, lit by a large patio parallel to the street, as well as the garage and technical rooms.
The Drytech waterproof concrete slab is the base of the garden.
The waterproof structure of the swimming pools is also a Drytech White Tank, whose above-ground surfaces have been coated with the continuous, waterproof Drycoat membrane which, with its 3 millimetres thickness, adapts like a second skin to the architectural lines.
In fact, it was also used to seamlessly waterproof the entire porch threshold and French window frames.
The granite flooring of the porch and the edge of the swimming pools was laid directly on the Drycoat membrane.
Drytech Ireland carried out the complete structural waterproofing of the underground levels, including the foundations and containment structures, ensuring long-term performance in a highly specialised environment.
The Drytech Tank ensures the watertightness of underground areas used for offices, data centres, technical rooms and car and bicycle parking, for a high-profile commercial redevelopment project and a future-oriented office campus for Meta and other companies, built to LEED Platinum standards.

The waterproofing of the inhabited hypogeum and swimming pool of a villa bordering a vineyard, set in terraces that continue seamlessly across the property. To adhere to this movement, the emerging volumes are staggered by half a floor: two transparent pavilions on which the living area is developed.
The basement, on the other hand, is the most private part of the villa, with rooms arranged around a large, spectacular courtyard, confirming the fusion between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Both the level of the bedrooms and the level below, which houses the main entrance and garage, are supported by the hillside. The soil, which is particularly impermeable, does not filter the water that presses directly against the basement. Therefore, the uncompromising impermeability of the Drytech tank was chosen for its construction, as well as for the swimming pool immersed in the lawn.
Drytech waterproofed the underground car park beneath the new Lamone School.
The school design by architects Krausbeck Santagostino Margarido is deeply inspired by its context as well as its function.
Thus, the geometry of the school grounds harmoniously adapts to the surrounding buildings, aligning with the presence of trees and generating changes in the layout of the boundary wall.
The underground car park located beneath the school has 26 parking spaces. The foundation, which also includes the technical rooms, was built using the Drytech Tank waterproofing system, including the access ramp to the underground car park.
Waterproofing of a shopping centre basement levels, using Drytech Tank waterproof concrete structure (BS8102).
The Kells Project is a flagship development in the heart of Dublin city centre, involving the construction of a brand new office complex with a floor area of over 22,000 m².
Rarely are basement projects more challenging, larger or deeper than those in the Kells project. Drytech is proud to have participated in the waterproofing strategy for such an important project, working to the highest standards of engineering and contracting.
Using the Drytech White Tank system, we designed, installed, built and guaranteed the waterproofing of the entire basement, together with other talented teams of Irish contractors and designers.
Extension of the Cadro School Centre, with a bed slab, retaining wall and AIL cabin built using the Drytech Tank waterproofing system.
The slabs of the retaining wall tunnel, on which the flowerbed bordering the school rests, and of the electrical cabin, as well as the frames of all the windows on the ground floor, are waterproofed with the application of Drycoat architectural coating.
The waterproofing of the partially buried podium of the Torricella-Taverne school is made with a Drytech Tank.
The construction of the Torricella-Taverne nursery school is part of the overall reorganization of an area in which the construction of various public, scholastic and sporting works is planned.
The Celoria Architects studio has translated the constraint represented by an existing wall into a resource, which, by touching the individual elements present in the area, defines their mutual relationships.
The wall has in fact become the main subject of the intervention, constituting the base of the building and the site of the pedestrian walkway that leads to the school and connects to the sports fields via a ramp.
The three remaining sides of the podium are underground and house the technical and service rooms in a waterproof Drytech Tank structure.
The planimetric organization of the building interprets the functional indications relating to school buildings, with the aim of optimizing circulation spaces, reducing distribution to a minimum and eliminating corridors.
The abstract composition of the volume is however softened by the introduction of some elements somehow extraneous to this composed monumentality, which allude to ancient bastions characterizing their formal expression.
Even if the final touch of tenderness to the Torricella-Taverne nursery school is given by the row of small colored scooters parked under the loggia.
The waterproofing of the underground car park of a data bunker in the Swiss Alps was carried out in the water table with the Drytech Tank system.
The Swiss army’s underground bunker is used by MOUNT10 to transfer data fully automatically and encrypted.
Security systems are constantly being updated in order to protect client companies from the consequences of data loss, theft and modification.
Today, thousands of SMEs in Switzerland also benefit from the services offered by the Zug-based company MOUNT10 and its back-up servers deep in the Bernese Alps.
