防水工程施工的技术是伴随着新材料的开发应用和防水设计理念和技术的进步而不断发展的。热沥青叠层卷材施工法是最早的防水施工方法，一直沿用至今，具有一整套严格的施工操作规程。在20世纪50～60年代，我国曾经有过一支优秀的专业油毡施工队伍，他们具有相当熟练的专业技术和工作责任心，油毡防水施工质量较好。后来建筑防水工人的队伍不断萎缩，后继无人，许多省市的建筑公司甚至不再保留原有的防水工种，而用未经过培训的非专业施工人员代替。
Waterproof engineering construction technology is developing with the development and application of new materials and the progress of waterproof design concept and technology. Hot asphalt laminated coil construction method is the earliest waterproof construction method, which has been used up to now and has a set of strict construction operation rules. From 1950s to 1960s, our country once had an excellent professional felt construction team. They have quite skilled professional technology and sense of responsibility. The quality of felt waterproofing construction is good. Later, the ranks of construction waterproofing workers continued to shrink, and no one succeeded. Many provincial and municipal construction companies did not even retain the original waterproofing types, but replaced them with untrained non-professional constructors.
