The Pearl’s landscaping and water features were
all waterproofed with Radcon #7
The Developers of this prestigious Malaysian project had lots of “green”
areas within the development and were looking for environmentally
products to use throughout the project.
Radcon #7 was used on the trafficable podium decks, swimming pools,
water features, rooftop and planter boxes. Radcon #7 fills the pores and
capillaries of the concrete with a glass hard gel. Water cannot leak through
it, plant roots cannot penetrate it and the presence of water regenerates
Radcon #7 to seal any future hairline cracking.
Radcon #7 is suitable for potable water and has many certificates around
the world to support this including the Singapore Institute of Standards &
Industrial Research Standard 245 testing for potable water. It does not
emit VOC’s and is proven to be non-toxic by its use in aquariums and fish
ponds.
Radcon #7 has the prestigious Singapore Green Label approval and has
been assessed by Ecospecifier. It can be used to gain “green’ credits in
environmental assessment programs such as LEED, BREEAM, ESTIDAMA
PEARLS and GREEN MARK.
Unlike membranes, Radcon will not have to be removed every 10 or 15
years due to degradation and used as landfill: it remains active in the
concrete for life!

The Miami Style Dover Parkview is now complete in Singapore. Designed by Andrew Tan Architects, developed by
Far East Organisation, built by Neo Corporation. Claimed to be the most advanced high tech condominiums in
Singapore, every home is fully automated with the Proteq 8X, one of the world’s most intelligent home automation
and security systems.
Dover Parkview boasts one of Singapore’s best private landscaped gardens designed by Belt Collins, the
landscape architect behind the famous Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.
As part of the resort living atmosphere, Dover Parkview has a full range of recreational facilities. These include
an underwater-music swimming pool, children’s play pool, Jacuzzi, euro bath, sauna, outdoor fitness station,
gymnasium, four tennis courts, BBQ pits and more.
The project is located off Dover Road, close to established schools, tertiary institutions and major conduits like
the Ayer Rajah Expressway. In addition, residents can look forward to an air-conditioned shuttle service
between Dover Parkview, Buona Vista MRT Station and the popular Holland Village.
Radcon Formula # 7 was used as the exclusive waterproofing system for this project. The product was used in
applications covering everything from high thermal stress slabs to water holding vessels to rooftop gardens –
totally some 50,000 square metres of waterproofing.
This site combined planter boxes and extensive landscaping over the podium level as seen above. Importantly
plant roots will not attack the integrity of the Radcon Formula # 7 waterproofing treatment.
All bathrooms in the 600+ condominiums were all waterproofed with Radcon Formula # 7. As the product
penetrates into the concrete there is minimal risk of damage from other trades such as tilers. Even when
traditional membranes are installed correctly they can be easily damaged after installation, Radcon Formula # 7
eliminates this problem.

Radcon Formula #7 waterproofs fountains, planters, and landscaped areas
at the popular entertainment quarter in the green centre of Singapore.
The original building was constructed in 1854 as Singapore's stunning mission school, formerly known as
CHIJMES. This has now been transformed into a haven for fine dining and shopping in the heart of Singapore's
heritage trail. Radcon Formula #7 was applied to some 3,000 sq metres of the suspended concrete decks
which includes two levels of internal courtyard to provide a complete water proofing system.
The first level is the sunken courtyard section suspended
over the basement carpark. This section has been
completely filled and features a water fountain.
The upper level of the internal courtyard has been both
landscaped and tiled. This podium level forms the rooftop
to the restaurants and commercial offices located
underneath.
All landscaped areas and fountains were waterproofed
with Radcon Formula #7, confirming its undoubted green
credentials as it is non toxic and not harmful to plant or
marine life.
The completed site is one of the tourist hot-spots in this
amazing city, hosting a gallery of international boutiques,
fine dining restaurants and wine bars.

Suarga was designed as a sustainable, eco-friendly resort therefore it was
critical that any waterproofing chosen conformed with these guidelines.
Radcon Formula #7 already had green label approvals from Singapore and
Ecospecifier certification from Australia so its eco-friendly credentials
made it the obvious choice.
Radcon #7 was applied to the rooftops and concrete walls as well as all
seven swimming pools and waste water tanks. Radcon #7 is non-toxic,
emits no VOC’s and is safe for use on drinking water tanks.
Unlike other membranes, Radcon #7 will never have to be jackhammered up due to non-performance or being punctured and turned
into landfill! It continues to be active in the matrix for the life of the
concrete.
Suarga Resort is the world’s biggest wood recycling project under FSC
certification (pending approval) and will be 100% off grid, running fully on
solar power. In addition they have been nominated by ‘Design Hotels’
which will add to their already escalating star power.

Radcon was specified to waterproof this impressive structure from the
very beginning of the project.
No other product could offer this level of waterproofing that was:
 Easy to apply
 Non Toxic
 Cost effective
Radcon is certificated for potable water in numerous countries.
This is yet another example of Radcon being “The world’s most

The OPW3 Sharqiyah Independent Water Project is a $173 million desalination facility, the first of its kind
in Oman. The plant is located near the town of Sur and is able to supply over 80,000 m3 of water per day
to the town’s 350,000 inhabitants.
The water holding areas which had to be waterproofed spanned some 60,000 square metres. However,
the internal walls of the holding areas sustained problems during the pour. These needed to be rectified
prior to the application of Radcon Formula #7 and ensure there was no honeycombing in the concrete
which would cause areas of weakness.
The consultants from Mott MacDonald in Oman were understandably concerned with potability
characteristics of the bidding waterproofing products.
Radcon Formula # 7 was the ultimate choice due to its non-toxicity, approvals for the product from
Singapore, Australia, Brazil, Spain and Portugal and its 100% watertight capability for water tanks.

These ornamental water gardens and fish ponds were incorporated into the design of these modern bungalows by
WOHA Architects in Singapore.
WOHA are very well respected architects and have
designed numerous major projects in Asia. The
challenge in this case was to find a product that not only
waterproofs the concrete but is non-toxic and will not
harm the fish or the plants in the pond and garden. After
some research Radcon Formula # 7 was the only choice.
Radcon Formula # 7 will give a 100% watertight result for
the life of the concrete while giving the fish and plants a
safe environment to live.
Radcon Formula # 7 has previously been tested and
approved by SETSCO in Singapore for its non-toxic
properties and its suitability with potable water.
Singapore is one of the most environmentally friendly
nations in the world and the fact that it has issued
Radcon Formula # 7 with the prestigious “Green Label” is
a badge of honour for the product.

For people who take eco-tourism seriously, this house is an inspiring example. At the request of the houseowners of not cutting down a single tree and constructing it entirely in concrete, Casa no Gere is a courageous
feat.
The ‘Casa no Gere’ is a stunning 60 sq mtr home
designed by Porto based architect, Gracia Correia and
her Italian partner, Roberto Ragazzia. It is located in
the heart of Portugal’s Gere National Park by the
Cevado River.
The architects did not want to use products that emit
VOC’s or membranes that would have to be removed
in a few years and create problems with landfill.
Radcon Formula #7 has been applied to all the
concrete to ensure that it remains waterproof for life;
there were no other products that could offer this level
of protection whilst being as environmentally friendly
as this home. This is the perfect opportunity for
Radcon Formula # 7 to show off its capabilities.

The Stamford Grand in Sydney has always been a source of pride for Radcrete. Not only does it demonstrate how
well Radcon Formula # 7 waterproofs but that it is there for a VERY long time. This project was completed in 1989
and was then filled with various water plants and many fish. Fish are the most sensitive creatures on the planet to
any form of toxicity so it was critical that the waterproofing was ecologically friendly. This entire pond is built on top
of a car park so it is possible to walk under the lake and inspect the underside of the concrete. Twenty three years
on and it is still perfect.
Radcrete was recently in contact with the original engineer/architect for the project who made the following
comments:
Dear Michael,
It is my pleasure to confirm our recent discussions regarding my intention to specify RADCON Formula # 7 Waterproofing
System for the use in the current construction of a large Water Treatment Plant at Plantation Island Resort in Fiji.
As I briefly explained, my reason for the selection of RADCON FORMULA #7 was based on my experience as the architect for
the "Stamford Grand North Ryde" Resort Hotel in Sydney which was built 26 years ago…
To this day, I am unaware nor have I been informed of any repair or replacement of the selected water proofing system during
the past years. Based on such outstanding performance I have come to the conclusion that the use of RADCON FORMULA #7
will be the appropriate water proofing system for the project at hand in Fiji, in particular, taking into account restrictive conditions
at the island location.
Kind regards,
Peter Rommel O.F.W.R.

Radcon Formula # 7 was used to waterproof all
the "green" areas such as planter boxes as well
as some other parts of the building such as the
helipad. The soil and plants can be put directly
onto the Radcon Formula # 7 treated concrete
without any need for a protective screed as
Radcon Formula # 7 increases the concrete

2008
Marriott have hotels in 67 countries around the world with more than 3,000 in America alone.
When they decided to build a new Marriott Courtyard in Trinidad's capital, Port of Spain,
Radcrete's representative naturally recommended Radcon Formula # 7 for use on the exposed
concrete roofs.
One of the advantages to the client is that Radcon Formula # 7 lasts indefinitely and thus there
is no on-going maintenance cost to them, meaning they will not have to have empty hotel
rooms whilst waterproofing is re-done in 5 or 10 years’ time.
Just as important are Radcon Formula # 7's "green" credentials. Marriott have a commitment
to greener hotels and to expanding their $10 billion per annum supply chain by teaming up with
greener companies. They specifically choose products that conserve energy, reduce waste and
are composed of environmentally friendly materials. Therefore Radcon Formula # 7 was a
natural choice as unlike most waterproofing materials it is not derived from oil based products, it
has an indefinite lifespan and reduces landfill because it never needs replacing.

Our clients love that Radcon is non-toxic and contain no harmful VOC’s.
Radcon Formula # 7 has a long history of being applied to
bridge decks around the world.
In Singapore, all the bridges have planter boxes to enhance
the green image of the city. As Radcon contains no harmful
VOC’s and is non-toxic it was the product chosen to be
applied to the planter boxes of the NUS (National University
of Singapore) bridge, which links two campuses of the
University on opposite sides of a freeway.
Radcon has been used on many green applications and
numerous bridges; this project was a perfect fit.

when meeting with the One Leicester specifiers.
Radcon Formula # 7 had been widely used on condominium
complexes through Asia including Singapore.
It is also specifically designed for long term protection of exposed
trafficable areas by re-sealing any future hairline cracks. Potability
and unlimited hydrostatic pressure characteristics proved to be
beneficial for protection of the water feature.
Some other features at One Leicester include tennis courts,
landscaped rooftop garden, outdoor pool, tai chi corner, multiple

to waterproof the country's newest cultural landmark.
No other product could achieve complete waterproofing
without compromising the artistic quality of this amazing
structure.
To build the Museum of Art and Archeology in the
stunning Coa Valley, many factors had to be considered
including topography, accessibility and the environment.
The result is a museum installation within the
landscape. The backdrop is the vast landscape of hills
and valleys, providing the building with a sense of
relationship to the topography. At the highest point of
land, this triangular body is wedged between two
valleys (Valle de José Esteves and Vale do Forno), with
the front facing the confluence of the rivers Douro and
Coa.
