Epoxy coating & waterproofing for warehouses in Alula
In short: In Alula (Alula), epoxy coating & waterproofing for warehouses begins with the moisture meter for ceilings and walls and the thickness measurement at spread-out points; nothing is opened until the position is clear. The centre of Alula sits about 697 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Pricing starts from Epoxy coating (per m²) (SAR 35–90 per m²), and other items are quoted after the visit.
What is specific about Alula for epoxy coating & waterproofing
The centre of Alula sits about 697 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Main roads in or near Alula: King Abdullah Road.
Picture a warehouse owner in Alula who has just taken over a storage building near the town centre. The floor is large and busy with forklifts and pallet trucks, and the owner wants the concrete to stay dry, clean and easy to sweep. The building sits in a place where the centre of Alula lies about 697 m above sea level, a fact worth keeping in mind when planning how a floor and its surfaces will be protected over time. Most owners in this position want a clear plan that protects the investment without tying up the site for longer than necessary.
For this kind of property, epoxy coating is usually the starting point for the floor, with prices in the range of SAR 35–90 per m². The same logic applies to other parts of the building. Roof surfaces can often be sealed with liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m², while any cracks that appear in the slab can be dealt with by crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre. If the warehouse has a basement or a below-ground store, basement waterproofing sits at SAR 50–150 per m², and a bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m² is another option to weigh. Each choice depends on what the space is used for, so it helps to match the product to the actual risk rather than applying one solution everywhere.
A sensible order of work begins with a walk-through to note cracks, damp patches, worn areas and any drainage problems. Next, record the total area of each surface in square metres and the length of any cracks in metres, so the quotes can be compared on equal terms. Repair cracks first, because a coating laid over an open crack will fail early. Then prepare the surfaces thoroughly, clearing dust, oil and loose material. Finally, apply the chosen coating or membrane in the order recommended for each area, and allow every layer to cure fully before the warehouse goes back into use. Following these steps in sequence gives the owner a floor and roof that stay sound for years.
For warehouses, work is phased around operations and stored goods.

How we choose the tool in Alula
| Tool | What it finds | When we use it in Alula |
|---|---|---|
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
The steps in order
- Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
- Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
- Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
- Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.
