CASE STUDY
SABAH SPORTS SCHOOL (SEKOLAH SUKAN SABAH)Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia (2012)
BACKGROUNDSports schools are being built around the world with a common goal in mind: produce world-class
athletes to represent their countries. In order to train the future athletes of Malaysia, integrated
academic and sport schools are being built at an increasing rate. Upon completion in 2012, Sekolah
Sukan Sabah will be the third sports school in the country and the first to enter Eastern Malaysia.
Sekloah Sukan Sabah will be a state-of-the-art center with an integrated campus for class rooms and
housing with facilities for every imaginable sport.
Sitting on an impressive 50 acre plot in Kota Kinabalu, Sekolah Sukan Sabah is a government-
owned and operated institution. The project only uses the best materials and technologies. One of the
campus’s most important features is the Olympic-sized swimming and diving pools. Both pools would
be constructed according to Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) standards. As this facility was
one of the anchor points of the project, it would have to be constructed without error.
As the pools would be utilized daily for the swimming program, the waterproofing solution would
have to effectively resist chlorine, constant hydrostatic pressure and heavy usage. Several concrete
waterproofing options were presented to the consultants for selection. The consultants were looking for
superior waterproofing solutions which had been used in the Kota Kinabalu region.
SOLUTIONKryton International Inc. was recommended by the design engineer based on their expertise as
the world’s inventor of integral crystalline waterproofing. Kryton’s distributor in Sabah, Concrete &
Waterproofing Technology Sdn Bhd suggested their flagship product, Krystol Internal Membrane
(KIM) for the project.

CASE STUDY
Over 1,100 cubic meters (38,800 cubic feet) of concrete was treated with KIM, which was used to
construct the swimming pool, diving pool and deck areas. The pool is now permanently waterproof.
The design Ir Edmund Wong said that Kryton’s KIM product really performs how it is stipulated in the
Technical Data Sheet. After he inspected the structure externally and checked for water infiltration
during the ponding test, the pools were found to be perfectly dry and watertight. By using Kryton’s
waterproofing products, the pools will serve the students and their rigorous swim program without
delays or inconveniences caused by repair work.
