Our History
For more than 150 years, PUDLO has helped shape the structural waterproofing industry, supporting some of the UK’s most recognised and technically demanding construction projects.
From heritage landmarks such as the Royal Albert Hall and the London Zoo Reptile House through to major modern developments including the Dubai Fountains, the PUDLO name has become synonymous with trusted waterproofing performance, technical expertise and long-term reliability.
Today, PUDLO continues to support architects, engineers, contractors and groundworkers with a complete range of structural waterproofing and gas protection systems, backed by experienced technical guidance from concept through to construction.
A Heritage Built on Waterproof Concrete Innovation
PUDLO has long been associated with innovation in waterproof concrete technology.
Originally introduced over a century ago, PUDLO CWP became recognised as one of the world’s earliest commercial waterproofing admixtures for concrete structures. In the 1990s, the PUDLO brand underwent a major redevelopment, modernising the formulation to meet the demands of contemporary construction while maintaining the trusted principles that established the brand’s reputation.
This evolution helped redefine expectations for Type B waterproof concrete systems, providing specifiers and contractors with a reliable solution for below-ground waterproofing applications.
Today, PUDLO CWP 2.5 continues to support a wide range of structures including:
- Basements
- Lift pits
- Retaining walls
- Car parks
- Data centres
- Commercial developments
- Residential schemes
- Infrastructure projects
