Epoxy coating & waterproofing in Jubail: the local context

Team note on Jubail: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. Jubail is about 0.9 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

The centre of Jubail sits about 4 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Jubail sits low and close to the coast. The centre of Jubail is about 4 m above sea level, and the town is roughly 0.9 km from the sea coast, so salt-laden air and a high water table are real factors for any coating job here. Before we quote anything, we check how damp the substrate is, whether there is any rising moisture, and whether the surface has been treated before. Salt and moisture are the most common reasons an epoxy or membrane fails early, so these checks come first.

The rest is left to the site visit, because it cannot be judged from a phone call. The technician will look at the exact area in m², the length of any cracks that need injecting, whether the job is a basement, a bathroom, a roof, or an internal tank, and the condition of the existing surface. Pricing is only indicative until someone has measured. For reference, basement waterproofing runs SAR 50–150 per m², bathroom waterproofing SAR 15–40 per m², epoxy coating SAR 35–90 per m², spray foam SAR 20–45 per m², crack injection SAR 40–120 per m, liquid roof waterproofing SAR 8–25 per m², bitumen membrane SAR 15–35 per m², tank internal coating SAR 25–60 per m², and XPS boards SAR 12–30 per m². Where the final figure falls in that range depends on what the visit finds.

To help the technician, have ready the approximate size of each area, photos of any cracks or staining, and a note of what the surface was last treated with. Tell us which rooms or spaces are in use, and when water first appeared, because that points to the cause. If the area holds water, such as a tank or a sunken floor, say so at the start. Clear information before the visit means a more accurate assessment and fewer surprises once the work begins.

The aim is to locate the cause with instruments first, so any opening is limited to one point.

Signs that call for epoxy coating & waterproofing

These are the signs most often linked to epoxy coating & waterproofing:

• Oil stains on a floor
• A warehouse floor that is wearing away
• A tank that needs an easy-to-clean surface

Where the problem usually comes from

• A damp surface that ruins adhesion.
• Insufficient preparation.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

The steps in order

1. Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
2. Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
3. Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
4. Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.
