Solutions for Projects

Sika offers advice and solutions to satisfy performance requirements of every part of an airport, for both new build and renovations, from terminal buildings and runways to hangars and more. Our solutions contribute to the overall performance of buildings & airside facilities whilst potentially reducing operating costs.

Construction or repair of a factory or warehouse involves many decisions to ensure the business will run like a well-oiled machine. For the selection of construction materials which go into that space, Sika supplies materials, systems and technical expertise for the largest and most complex factory projects.

Local public transport and railway systems must be expanded to cope with the rapid development of urban spaces. Long term durability, electrical resistance, low maintenance as well as reduced vibration and noise in the rail fastening system are essential - the selection of the right rail fixing and grouting materials is important.

Modern bridges are predominantly built in reinforced concrete and designed with a service lifespan of more than 100 years. Many existing bridges and road infrastructure already exhibit significant degrees of degradation and are therefore in need of substantial and often urgent repair and refurbishment.

A comfortable, hygienic interior. A watertight, secure building envelope. This is Sika’s prescription for long-lasting, high-quality, and cost-effective healthcare centers.

Transport infrastructure has to cope with increasing traffic, faster and heavier vehicles every day. Downtime for new construction or maintenance causes delays leading to traffic congestion., inconvenience and financial loss. The use of efficient, durable materials is critical to reduce and improve maintenance time.​​

Parking has become a vital part of communities. The need for more parking spaces is increasing, which means building new car parks and refurbishing existing ones. Sika solutions improve car parking garages' overall building performance while also reducing construction and operating costs.

In offsite construction - or modular building - typically more than 80% of the construction is completed off site, and the component parts (or modules) are transported to the site for assembly. The sector is growing in popularity due to its many benefits such as less time on the construction site, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, improved quality control, reduced waste and sustainability. It can also help to address specific, local construction challenges, such as dealing with skilled labor shortages or meeting local regulations.

Cost overruns and tight timelines are a common thread for tunneling projects. From concrete admixtures and shotcrete to waterproofing membranes and injections, Sika tunneling technology stands up to the highest quality standards and contribute to efficient tunneling construction.

Data centers present particular challenges. Sika understands these challenges and offers advice and solutions to satisfy the performance requirements of every part of a data center for both new build and refurbishment projects.

Designing or renovating residential buildings involves selecting materials that balance durability, sustainability, safety and aesthetic appeal. From selecting materials that withstand harsh weather conditions to those that improve energy efficiency, it is crucial to choose construction solutions that serve both form and function.

There are a lot of things in waterproofing specification that can come back and bite you. Ground water contamination issues, product quality, system incompatibility, applicator skill, supplier backup – the list goes on and on. Don’t approach waterproofing bit by bit. It's too risky an area to have gaps in a specification. It’s no good having a dry roof if the basement isn’t. Or a balcony membrane that can’t be detailed into a window reveal. Fail-safe waterproofing specifications take the whole structure into consideration - top to bottom, basement to roof.
