Building a Reliable Water Infrastructure: DUTEC J-212 Waterproofing Supports the Ground Water Tank Project at Mandalika Circuit
Behind every world class destination lies a strong and reliable infrastructure. The success of an international tourism area is not only measured by its iconic facilities, but also by the quality of essential supporting systems such as water supply, drainage, and underground structures.
At The Mandalika, one of Indonesia’s most prestigious tourism and motorsport destinations, the development of a large-scale Ground Water Tank (GWT) became a crucial part of ensuring a sustainable clean water distribution system throughout the area.
In this important infrastructure project, DUTEC Waterproofing J-212 was selected as one of the waterproofing solutions to support the protection and durability of the Ground Water Tank structure.
The Importance of Ground Water Tank Infrastructure in Mandalika
Located within the Mandalika Special Economic Zone in Central Lombok, the Ground Water Tank project was developed to provide a stable water reserve and distribution system for hotels, commercial facilities, and various supporting infrastructures throughout the area.
The GWT development consists of several massive concrete storage structures divided into the western and eastern zones. The west area includes three circular tanks with a diameter of approximately 30 meters and a height of 11 meters, each designed to store up to 8,000 cubic meters of clean water. Meanwhile, the east section consists of three tanks with a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 10 meters, with a storage capacity of approximately 7,000 cubic meters per tank.
Such a massive water storage facility requires not only high-quality concrete construction but also a reliable waterproofing system capable of protecting the structure against water leakage, seepage, and long-term deterioration.
The Challenge of Waterproofing Large Concrete Water Tanks
Water-retaining structures face continuous hydrostatic pressure that may eventually create pathways for water infiltration through concrete pores, construction joints, or structural cracks.
Without proper waterproofing treatment, even minor leakage can gradually affect structural performance, increase maintenance requirements, and reduce the overall service life of the facility.
For a strategic infrastructure project such as the Mandalika Ground Water Tank, selecting a high-performance waterproofing material was a key consideration to ensure the integrity and reliability of the concrete structure for years to come.
DUTEC J-212: A High-Performance Solution for Concrete Leakage Treatment
DUTEC Waterproofing J-212 is a polyurethane injection grouting material designed to solve water leakage problems in concrete structures. The material features high expansion capability, allowing it to react with water and create a dense waterproof barrier inside cracks and leakage paths.
Its high-strength formulation can be applied to both dry and wet cracks, making it an effective solution for challenging underground and water-retaining environments.
The key advantages of DUTEC J-212 include:
- Excellent water-stopping performance.
- High expansion capability without shrinkage.
- Strong bonding and structural reinforcement characteristics.
- Suitable application for both active and inactive water leaks.
- Efficient and cost-effective injection grouting method.
These characteristics make DUTEC J-212 an ideal choice for demanding infrastructure projects where durability and water resistance are essential.
Supporting Indonesia’s Modern Infrastructure Development
The involvement of DUTEC Waterproofing J-212 in the Ground Water Tank project at Mandalika reflects the important role of advanced construction materials in supporting Indonesia’s growing infrastructure sector.
Modern construction requires more than strong structural designs; it requires reliable protection systems that can maintain performance under challenging environmental conditions. Through innovative waterproofing technology, DUTEC continues to contribute to the construction of durable, safe, and long-lasting infrastructure projects.
As Indonesia continues to develop world-class destinations and public facilities, the importance of high-quality waterproofing solutions will become increasingly significant. From underground structures and water reservoirs to tunnels and concrete foundations, DUTEC remains committed to delivering dependable solutions that help build a stronger future.
