Summary
Specialized skilled worker who performs waterproofing work on roofs, exterior walls, underground areas, etc., of buildings.
Description
Architectural waterproofing workers are specialists who select waterproof materials, adjust substrates, perform construction and finishing using various waterproofing methods, and conduct curing work to prevent water leaks in roofs, balconies, exterior walls, and underground structures of buildings and houses. Main methods include urethane coating membrane waterproofing, sheet waterproofing, FRP waterproofing, asphalt waterproofing, etc., and they apply the optimal method according to site conditions and designs. Since it involves high-altitude work and scaffolding assembly, safety management and weather management are important, and teamwork with multiple people is the norm. They also handle post-construction inspections, maintenance, and renovation work, supporting the durability and comfort of buildings.
Future Outlook
Demand for building waterproofing is expected to remain stable in the future. With the spread of high-durability and environmentally friendly materials and the expansion of renovation needs due to the extension of the lifespan of existing buildings, the shortage of skilled workers is becoming serious. Further technological innovations are anticipated with the introduction of drone inspections and IoT-based quality management technologies.
