Case study
How We Waterproofed Boulevard Point’s Tiled Podium
See how Halo Shield waterproofed a tiled podium around pipes and parapets in Downtown Dubai, with photos before, during and after spray coating.
High-rise podium
Project overview
Where does a tiled podium need the closest attention? At Boulevard Point, the open deck meets low parapet walls, and service pipes rise through the tiles. Follow the coating work across the podium, then use those fixed points to compare the exposed tiles with the coated deck.
- The tile grid, drain and pipes give you reference points in the before photo.
- The crew’s spray passes show how the coating progressed across the tiles.
- The parapet base and pipes help you trace where the finished coating meets the surrounding surfaces.

Before, during and after coating
Before
Find where the deck changes
The exposed tile grid makes the layout easy to read. Follow it to the base of the parapet and look for the drain and service pipe. Each interrupts the flat deck and needs to be accounted for when planning the work.
During
Follow the spray passes
The crew worked across the podium in sections. The grey coating and exposed tiles are visible in the same frame, so you can see the line between the area already coated and the next part of the deck.
After
Check the coated deck against the original layout
The light-coloured coating extends across the main deck. The pipes and parapet walls are still visible, so you can use them to compare the coated area with the original tiled surface.
What property owners can learn
What to look for on a tiled podium
When you review a podium waterproofing proposal, ask how the system will continue where the deck turns up against a wall and where pipes pass through it. A wide photo shows coverage across the open deck. Close views at those junctions show how the surface changes where the coating has to meet a wall or a pipe.
