Protecting Structures from the Ground Up—and the Top Down

Water is the silent adversary of every structure. Left unmanaged, moisture intrusion compromises concrete integrity, accelerates steel reinforcement corrosion, degrades interior finishes, and creates unhealthy indoor environments. At Arabian Strengthening & Protection Co., we view waterproofing not as an accessory, but as a fundamental component of structural durability.

We deliver comprehensive waterproofing solutions engineered for the region’s unique environmental challenges—from extreme heat and humidity to aggressive soil conditions. Our systems are selected based on the specific application, exposure conditions, performance requirements, and long-term maintainability.

Waterproofing Applications

Water intrusion does not discriminate—it attacks every level of a structure, from foundation to roof. At Arabian Strengthening & Protection Co., we deliver targeted waterproofing solutions engineered to address the unique challenges of each application area. Our systematic approach ensures that every zone receives the right system, properly installed, for lasting protection.

We work closely with the Saudi Heritage Commission and follow all regulations governing historic structures and archaeological sites.

Frequently asked questions

What is CFRP strengthening and how does it work?
CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) is a high-strength composite material bonded to concrete surfaces. It acts as external reinforcement, taking tensile stresses that the original member cannot handle.
Yes. CFRP is suitable for beams, slabs, columns, walls, and even masonry structures. It is commonly used in bridges, buildings, parking structures, and industrial facilities.
Depending on existing reinforcement and application, CFRP can increase flexural capacity by 30‑100%, shear capacity by 50‑150%, and axial column capacity by 20‑60%.
No. CFRP installation is relatively quiet, dust-controlled with proper containment, and can be scheduled during off-hours to minimize disruption to building occupants.
