MARKET OVERVIEW
09.10 The European construction market
Mr. Jon Nash, Head of Strategic Research,
AMI CONSULTING, United Kingdom
As the global population grows and countries develop, the demand
for construction and civil engineering work continues to increase.
Bituminous waterproof membranes have been used for many years
and have continued to develop alongside the polymeric membranes
that were introduced in the 1960s. In some applications there is
substantial inter-material competition between bituminous and
polymeric solutions, elsewhere the introduction of new polymeric
materials has enabled new application development and competition
against other traditional materials.
09.40 The market for waterproof membranes in Russia
Mr. Vladimir Markov, CEO,
TechnoNICOL, Russia
The role of waterproof membranes has expanded from the traditional
roof applications for dwellings and buildings to serve a wide range of
geomembrane applications in water containment, land reclamation,
building and infrastructure protection. In each application the
membranes need to offer increasing functionality to meet the
challenges of durability, energy and water preservation, climatic
conditions and building design.

best practices in performance and manufacturing for roofing and
geomembrane applications.
