Abstract: Work describes history and importance of waterproofing in bridge construction and use of modern materials in different countries of the world. Importance of installation quality and components in order to protect carriageway is described. Examples are given of experience of USA, Europe and Russia. Work also considers future challenges in the field and different types of materials. Advantages and disadvantages of materials in terms of technical and economic parameters are discussed. One part of work describes importance of waterproofing layer for bridges and its history, while use of modern materials is discussed in another part. In conclusion, work describes how important it is to use modern materials in Georgia and how worth it is to spend more funds for above mentioned components.

Key words: Hydro insulation, waterproofing, membrane, bridge construction, sheet waterproofing systems, liquid waterproofing systems.
