Le ‘Grand Hôpital de Charleroi’ which has been formed by the merger of Charleroi hospitals Saint-Joseph, Sainte-Thérèse, IMTR, Notre Dame and Reine Fabiola wants to offer all their patients a completely new hospital. Together with the public authorities, they have acquired in 2012 the site ‘Viviers’. Since this site of 170000 m^2 is situated on the crossroads of the R3 and the RN90 it has perfect access for all kinds of mobility. The importance of the site authorizes landscaping with respect for the environment and the surroundings. The hospital will be one of the biggest in Belgium (approx 900 beds). VK Architects & Engineers and Reservoir A designed the site ready for the future and thus were awarded the project. The construction of the buildings is being executed by Jan De Nul/Franki. During the construction of the garage building, a drainage layer had to be installed on top of the waterproof liner. On top of the drainage layer, a further 10 cm thick layer of concrete was planned as protection to trucks driving on its surface during the construction phase of the top layers.

Ithmaar Development Company is developing the reclaimed island of Dilmunia on the north-eastern coast of the island of Muharraq, Kingdom of Bahrain. The development project includes the construction of a nearly 1. 5 km leisure canal (Dilmunia Grand Canal), which will be the central attraction of the island's architectural design, including water activities, fountains, cascades, and waterfalls. Dilmunia canal is elevated few meters above the surrounding ground level, and any potential leaks may become visible and are highly undesirable. Therefore, the project foresees to waterproof the canal structure with various geosynthetic products, including several complementary watertight and drainage elements either installed inside and outside the peripheral walls.
