ENGINEERED FOR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE
Protecting Water Infrastructure Starts Before Water Gets In
PREVENTION OVER REACTION
Better Waterproofing Starts with Better Decisions
When it comes to water-retaining structures, long-term performance is determined well before a project is completed.
Every construction joint, pipe penetration and formwork detail presents an opportunity to either strengthen or compromise a structure’s watertight integrity. Selecting the right sealing solution during planning and construction helps minimise the risk of water ingress, reduce costly remediation and support the long-term durability of critical infrastructure.
At Danterr, we help engineers, contractors and project teams make informed waterproofing decisions with trusted products, technical guidance and reliable supply.
TECHNICAL INSIGHT
Good waterproofing isn’t achieved by one product.
It’s the result of good planning, correct specification, quality materials and proper installation working together.
UNDERSTAND THE RISK
Where Water Infrastructure Is Most Vulnerable
Water doesn’t need a large opening to compromise a structure.
It finds the smallest path of least resistance—often at construction details that require careful planning and the right waterproofing solution.
Understanding these critical areas is the first step towards selecting the most appropriate sealing system for your project.
Construction Joints
Maintain watertight integrity between concrete pours.
Pipe Penetrations
Seal around service entries to prevent water ingress.
Formwork Spacer Penetrations
Protect one of the most common leakage paths in concrete structures.
Concrete Interfaces
Seal uneven or irregular surfaces where water can migrate through the structure.
TECHNICAL INSIGHT
Every construction detail presents different waterproofing challenges. Selecting the right solution for each application helps reduce risk and improve long-term project performance.
APPLICATION-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS
Every Construction Detail Requires a Different Approach
There is no one-size-fits-all waterproofing solution.
Different construction details experience different conditions, which is why selecting the right sealing system should always begin with understanding the application—not simply choosing a product.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A construction joint is formed where two concrete pours meet and is typically designed to have little or no movement. Expansion joints are designed to accommodate movement caused by thermal expansion, shrinkage or structural loads.
Because they perform different functions, they require different waterproofing systems. Hydrophilic waterstops such as Hydrotite® are generally intended for construction joints and other low-movement applications.
The most appropriate waterproofing solution depends on the application, construction detail and project requirements.
Factors to consider include:
- Joint type
- Expected movement
- Concrete cover
- Installation method
- Exposure conditions
- Performance requirements
Selecting the right solution early in the project helps reduce risk and supports long-term waterproofing performance.
Yes. Hydrotite® complies with AS/NZS 4020:2018 for products used in contact with drinking water, making it suitable for potable water applications when specified and installed correctly.
LeakMaster® is designed for low-movement waterproofing applications where conventional strip waterstops may be difficult to install.
Typical applications include:
- Rough concrete surfaces
- Pipe penetrations
- Steel sections
- Hydrotite® joins
- PVC waterstop joins
It is not intended for expansion joints or applications subject to significant movement.
Adequate concrete cover helps accommodate the pressure created as hydrophilic waterstops expand in the presence of moisture. Correct installation and sufficient cover contribute to long-term waterproofing performance and help protect the surrounding concrete.
Water ingress is often linked to specification or installation issues rather than product performance.
Common causes include:
- Selecting the wrong sealing system for the application
- Incorrect installation
- Poor substrate preparation
- Inadequate concrete cover
- Gaps in waterproofing continuity
- Premature exposure before the second concrete pour
Early planning and correct specification help minimise these risks.
Yes.
Our team works with engineers, contractors and project teams to help identify suitable waterproofing solutions based on your application and project requirements.
