Understand what each of these most popular waterproofing companies offer and the technology they apply.

Waterproofing plays a crucial role for the structural integrity of a building, and any rookie engineer and architect who underestimates the severity of water damages were quick to regret their negligence in this area. Constant exposure to water, moisture, and high humidity can cause severe damage to a building over time, particularly in the form of rotting, rusting, cracking, and warping – not to mention enabling hazardous fungi and mould to thrive. This is a common occurrence for buildings that are in Malaysia thus waterproofing is essential for the tropical weather in the country.

Having said that, the waterproofing industry in Malaysia is growing, just as the awareness of its importance. These companies offer services that are primarily targeted to prevent water from penetrating through building walls and ceilings, but they employ different methods and solutions in overcoming water leakage problems.

Let’s take a look:

Different Waterproofing Methods in Malaysia

Here’s a quick rundown on popular waterproofing methods in Malaysia.

PU Injection

The PU Injection process involves drilling holes into the affected area.

Contractors who offer PU Injections as a waterproofing method usually drill holes into the floors, walls, or ceiling areas before pumping PU into the hole using an injection gun. The chemical composition in the injection is then triggered to expand and fill up the gaps of the walls or ceiling in hopes of filling up the cracks.

Torch-on Membrane

The torch-on method is popular for waterproofing flat roof areas.

Torch-on waterproofing, also known as bitumen torch-on, requires a torch to heat fuse asphalt material directly onto the roof. This process then creates a waterproof barrier that covers the entire roof surface at an even thickness. It is often used on flat roofs that have a common problem of puddling and ponding rainwater that sits atop the roof for extended periods of time.

Cementitious Waterproofing

Cementitious Waterproofing involves application of cement to treat water leakage issues.

The cementitious waterproof coating is a two-component coating that offers breathability when applied, on both the outer and inner side of concrete and masonry surfaces. In addition to keeping moisture out, these coatings can prevent damage from mold, mildew and water infiltration.

Rubber membrane

Rubber waterproofing paint is also known as elastomeric waterproofing paint.

Rubber waterproofing paint is made of liquified oil, latex, or rubber to be applied onto surfaces either with a sprayer or a painting tool. To give the finishing a bit more structure, a fibre texture layer is added between paint layers to further strengthen its waterproofing qualities.

In worst case scenarios, a catastrophic fall accident can put your water theme park business on news headlines.

When most people think of an amusement park injury, they imagine devastating injuries that occur on thrill rides in extreme parks. Although those incidents happen once in a blue moon, they are rare. The reality is that the most common cause of injuries at amusement parks are due to slips and falls, from tripping hazards and slippery surfaces. Ironically, this makes water theme parks one of the more dangerous locations despite their original intentions of being a fun wonderland for both adults and kids. Thus, the usage of anti-slip coatings at water theme park is a crucial step to be taken to ensure unwanted accidents from happening.

Who is responsible for slip and fall injuries in theme parks?

Owners and operators of resorts or theme parks take on the dual roles of properly maintaining attractions and rides while ensuring a safe environment for guests in all spaces across the premises.

At best, falls become slapstick humour for those who witness it. At worst, it becomes a court case.

When amusement parks and water theme parks are mentioned, it is natural to imagine children running and playing around happily – but it usually takes being a parent or a caretaker of children and the elderly to become warier of slip-and-fall accidents in such high-traffic places.

As operators of water theme parks, it is easy to fall into the trap of only focusing on ride and attraction safety while overlooking safety in a cafeteria or toilet space. However, operators must take note that no matter where your guests sustain a slip and fall injury, the theme park can be held liable in court if they are deemed negligent; and this injury liability may be put on the theme park’s owner, ride manufacturer, or even a concession stand owner!

Slip and Fall Accidents May Make You Liable To Lawsuits

These headlines may seem ridiculous – until it happens to someone you love.

Customers who had a slip and fall accident in your business premise are entitled to make an injury claim against you. Stay alert, read more:

Prevention is the best solution for slips and falls.

1. Display appropriate signages.

Display proper signage to avoid slip and fall accidents

A simple act of displaying signages as these can keep you out of court for negligence.

Once customers are made aware of the slippery surface, the burden is now on them to exercise extra caution as they walk along wet surfaces, or simply avoid the area altogether. Additionally, putting up signages show that you as the operator of the premise have displayed your Duty of Care towards your guests, visitors, and customers.

2. Implement regular safety inspections around high-traffic areas.

Perform regular inspection to ensure tiles and floor are safe for walking

Sometimes, a safety feature failure may happen due to wear and tear – but this can be avoided with regular inspections.

For water theme park and resorts, the tiles or floor surface must be made slip-proof for walking even when the surface is wet. The surface of the floors around high-traffic areas such as the toilet, sidewalks, cafeteria, and attractions should be checked regularly to ensure there is no untreated corner that may cause slips and falls. Additionally, pay extra attention to the safety of the stairs – a slip-and-fall accident on stairs can be fatal.

3. Place plenty of rubbish bins throughout the park.

Place rubbish bins around the theme park to prevent littering

Ensuring that no garbage is littered on the ground has more benefits than just aesthetic ones.

If your park or resort has F&B vendors, be sure to place plenty of rubbish bins throughout the park to discourage visitors from littering and causing spillage on the floor. Oil, liquid, food chunks, fruit peels, and even food wrappers are known to cause slips and falls for visitors who accidentally step on them.

4. Use Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Anti-slip coating on walking surfaces.
