When the "15th Five-Year Plan" placed the construction of a modern industrial system at its core, and new-quality productivity was established as the core engine of industrial upgrading, its influence is being transmitted to the architectural space at an astonishing speed. According to Colliers International's projections based on the "14th Five-Year Plan" industrial economic data, during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the job creation resulting from the upgrading and efficiency improvement of traditional industries and the cluster development of emerging industries will generate a huge demand for approximately 470 million square meters of new office and R&D space. At the same time, architectural space is also undergoing a transformation from a single provider of physical space to a systematic ecological leap towards "professionalization, intelligence, and ecology."
In the field of underground engineering, waterproofing is a strategic endeavor about building safety, service life, and operational costs. As the part of a building in closest contact with the groundwater environment, basements endure long-term challenges from hydrostatic pressure, moisture erosion, and structural deformation. Once waterproofing fails, it can lead not only to leakage, mold, and steel reinforcement corrosion but may also endanger structural safety, with extremely high repair costs. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) waterproofing membranes, with their exceptional material properties and the systematic advantages of pre-applied bonding, are becoming the ideal solution for basement waterproofing.
On October 10th, Canlon and LONGi Green Energy officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will engage in in-depth cooperation in the field of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), integrating their respective strengths in new energy and building materials to jointly explore new paths for the integrated development of buildings and energy. With the continued deepening and advancement of the national "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy, the building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) market is moving towards large-scale implementation. As the power generation carrier, the roof system's waterproofing, structure, durability, and other architectural attributes directly determine whether the project can operate safely in the long term.
Recently, the "Standardization Observation Meeting for Engineering Quality Improvement and 2026 Waterproofing and Anti-corrosion Technology Exchange Meeting," hosted by the China Construction Industry Association and organized by the Waterproofing Branch of the China Construction Industry Association, the Shandong Provincial Construction Industry Association, Shandong Jianzhu University, and other units, was held in Jinan, Shandong. At the meeting, the 2026 White Paper on "High-Quality Engineering Waterproofing Materials and Technologies" was released, and the Jinji Lake Tunnel main waterproofing project , in which Canlon participated, was honorably selected. It is worth mentioning that the main waterproofing project of Jinji Lake Tunnel also won the Silver Award of the 2025 Jinyu Award.
To address common quality issues in construction projects, strengthen construction safety, and ensure safe production before the Spring Festival, the Quality Inspection Center of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Siyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, organized a waterproofing construction training and safety production publicity meeting on September 23. Heads and technical management personnel from construction, supervision, and other units involved in ongoing projects throughout the county participated in the training.
On the path of exploring green building and sustainable development, universities are pioneers of innovation, while the support of industry provides a solid foundation for the implementation of these innovations. The Sustainable Future Challenge ( SFC ) is a global team competition for universities worldwide, aiming to respond to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and China's "dual-carbon" strategy. It is an upgraded version of the International Solar Decathlon (SDC), which is known as the "Olympics" of the solar energy industry.
In the field of underground waterproofing, there is a persistent challenge that has plagued the industry for decades—water migration. In traditional waterproofing practices, a physical interface always exists between the waterproofing layer and the structural body. Once the waterproofing layer is locally damaged, groundwater can travel long distances along this gap, seeping into the building through weak points in the structure. More frustratingly, the leakage point is often far from the damage point, making repairs like "finding a needle in a haystack."
On a scorching summer day, have you ever felt that city centers are hotter than suburbs? It's not an illusion. Meteorological data shows that urban core temperatures are often 3-5°C higher than surrounding suburbs—this is the well-known "urban heat island effect." One of the key culprits behind this phenomenon is the dark roofs above our heads. Traditional asphalt roofs and black waterproofing membranes can reach surface temperatures of 70-80°C under intense sunlight. Like giant "heat-absorbing panels," they convert solar radiation into heat, continuously baking the city above. The emergence of white TPO cool roofs is changing this situation—it's like applying an "ice pack" to buildings, not only cooling the building itself but also quietly mitigating the heat of the entire city.
Polyurethane waterproof coatings such as "solvent-based" and "solvent-free," "water-based" and "oil-based," do you feel like you're making an uncertain choice? Behind this lies an invisible battle between environmental protection, health, and construction safety. Today, Canlon will help you clarify this crucial choice that determines the quality of your bathroom waterproofing!
