Singapore
Water Recycling Facility
Saves Construction Time and Costs
with KIM
Part of a network of water treatment plants in Singapore,
the Seletar Water Reclamation Plant recycles wastewater
into potable water. This leading-edge facility is a key
component in Singapore's plan to become more self-sufficient
and reduce the amount of water it must import. more
Coating
Basics
Choosing the Right Wall Coating
for Your Project
When selecting an exterior coating for your building or
home, give some thought to what properties the coating
needs to have. A good coating system must be flexible
or elastomeric in order to resist cracking. For maximum
durability, it must allow for a thick or high-build application.
However, to avoid blistering and other problems, it must
also be permeable enough to allow water vapour to escape.
A good coating system must also have excellent long-term
adhesion. It must resist dirt, as well as the effects
of weather and sunlight, and it should be easy to clean. more
Concrete
Basics
Crystalline Waterproofing Technology
Simplifies Joint Design
Two of the more common methods for waterproofing construction
joints that building owners, specifiers and contractors
turn to are PVC waterstop and bentonite. The first method,
PVC waterstop, involves placing a plastic barrier into
the joint during the concrete pour. The other involves
applying a bentonite strip to the joint surface before
the adjoining concrete section is poured. more

Case
Study:
Vancouver Television Station Shines
in its New Home
Channel M, Vancouver's newest television station, is located
in a stately brick building in the heart of the city's
bustling Chinatown. It's difficult to imagine what this
building looked like just over a year ago when the station's
owners undertook major renovations before moving into
the five-story, 37,000 square foot structure. more
