 WATERPROOFING

All render applied to concrete should contain a styrene butadiene-based waterproofing and bonding admixture. Use Fosroc
Nitobond or similar approved, in line with manufacturer’s current instructions.

All internal surface of reinforced concrete watertanks to be coated with Aquakote 3 coat solventless reinforced epoxy
waterproofing system or similar approved system to maintain water tightness of tanks. The final adopted system should be
capable of maintaining the water tightness of the tanks with significant post construction cracking due to differential settlement
of the tower structure.

In areas such as bathrooms, balconies, roof decks and swimming pools the Contractor shall follow the waterproofing guidelines
laid out in the architectural specifications. This shall include all external penetrations and interfaces with the ground floor slab.

A blinding layer of concrete shall be placed on any natural surfaces prior to the placing of structural concrete. This shall be
allowed to cure and cleaned prior to the placing of reinforcing steel or waterproofing membranes. Its minimum thickness shall
be 75mm unless noted otherwise on the contract drawings, 100mm under raft.

The waterproofing system provided shall be installed without damage and protected against construction operations. It shall be
designed to be fully effective over the design life of the structure.

The waterproofing system and its joints shall be designed to resist the maximum water head of water to be imposed on the
structure.

Waterproofing material shall be specially formulated to allow application in the hot climatic conditions encountered in the Middle
East and it should not be adversely affected by temporary heat gain whilst exposed during construction.
