Infrastructure Protection
Infrastructure Waterproofing & Protective Coatings — GCC
Specialist waterproofing and protective coating systems for infrastructure projects across Dubai, the UAE and wider GCC markets — from buried structural waterproofing to fire protective coatings for public infrastructure buildings.
Commercial Context
Infrastructure Protection Across GCC Markets
Infrastructure assets across the GCC — transport networks, public facilities, buried utility infrastructure, bridges, tunnels, airport terminals and large-scale public buildings — require coating and waterproofing systems capable of sustaining structural integrity and protective performance over long operational lifecycles under demanding environmental conditions.
The specification of infrastructure waterproofing and protective coatings is a technically demanding discipline. Asset owners, consulting engineers and project managers require systems with verifiable technical credentials, manufacturer-backed support and demonstrated long-term performance under GCC environmental conditions.
Operational Challenges
Common Project Considerations
- Long-term waterproofing of buried infrastructure elements against hydrostatic pressure and salts
- Fire protective coating requirements for public infrastructure buildings and terminals
- UV and weathering resistance for exposed infrastructure elements
- Specification-led selection with verifiable independent documentation
- High-output application for large-scale infrastructure surface areas
- Programme continuity on major public infrastructure projects
- Long asset lifecycle performance requirements across GCC environmental conditions

Infrastructure Waterproofing Across UAE & GCC Projects
Infrastructure investment across Dubai, the UAE and wider GCC region is substantial and ongoing — encompassing metro extensions, airport expansions, port and logistics infrastructure, road and bridge networks, utility infrastructure and large-scale public facilities. Many of these assets require specialist waterproofing and protective coating systems at both initial construction and through refurbishment programmes as they age.
Liquid Coatings by Forti Nova provides manufacturer-backed specialist systems for infrastructure waterproofing and protective coating applications across the GCC — including BelowGrade for buried structural waterproofing, FireGuard Pro200 for public infrastructure building fire protection and SprayGrade for large infrastructure roof surfaces.
Technical Considerations
Technical Guidance
Below-Ground Infrastructure Waterproofing
BelowGrade spray-applied seamless waterproofing for buried infrastructure elements — foundations, tunnels, buried service structures and large-scale buried concrete. CE marked, ASTM tested, 25-year warranty.
Fire Protective Coatings for Infrastructure Buildings
FireGuard Pro200 A2-s1,d0 classified fire protective coating for public infrastructure buildings, terminals, stairwells and facades — independently tested by Warringtonfire Gent, Classification Report No. 18831B.
Large-Scale Roof Waterproofing
SprayGrade high-output spray-applied waterproofing for large infrastructure roof surfaces — airports, terminal buildings, maintenance facilities and operational infrastructure.
Commercial Considerations
Commercial Guidance
Multi-System Infrastructure Projects
Large infrastructure projects may require more than one specialist system — below-ground waterproofing, fire protection and roof refurbishment can all be addressed within a single project discussion.
Technical Documentation
Full technical documentation for all systems is available on request — TDS, SDS and, for FireGuard Pro200, the Warringtonfire Gent Classification Report.
Long-Term Performance
Systems within the Forti Nova GCC range carry product warranties subject to correct application conditions — BelowGrade 25 years, SprayGrade 15 years.
