Water Proofing Application for Swimming pool

S. No Item Description Unit Area

1 Raft waterproofing:
Substrate preparation
Cleaning the reinforced concrete surface or shotcrete surface or blind side
surface to make it aggregate, dust and sludge free, removing any
extended portions by grinding using suitable equipments. The substrate to
be made suitable for waterproofing system application.

Waterproofing membrane installation


Providing and applying SikaProof®-312 IN HDPE ,1.2 mm thick
selfadhesive fully bonded sheet membrane comprising of a virgin HDPE
layer, coated with a high bond strength adhesive, covered by a
weatherproof protective sand sprinkled layer, for below ground
waterproofing of reinforced concrete structures.Membrane must be applied
on a sufficiently stable substrate to avoid movement during the
construction works. Substrate surface must be smooth, uniform and clean.
Large gaps and voids (≥ 12–15 mm) must be filled using PMM before
membrane installation.Side lap joints of SikaProof®-312 IN HDPE are
sealedby overlapping the membranes by 100 mm and removing release
liner in longitudinal direction. Transverse joints shall be sealed by removing
1.1 the granularsanded layer with a hot air tool (scraping) and then overlapped Sqm 1700
by 80 mm and bonded and sealed with cold applied SikaProof® Tapes.
Use rollers to release air pockets within joints to ensure proper sealing and
bonding. Place concrete directly onto or against the membrane within 60
days after installation.
The membrane shall have the below parameters ,
Effective Thickness HDPE film ~0.75 mm.HDPE membrane composite
~1.20 mm
Resistance to Static Puncture ≥ 1000 N (ASTM E154)
Tensile Strength ≥ 25 MPa (film) (ASTM D412 mod)
Elongation ≥ 550 % (ASTM D412 mod)
Adhesion in Peel ≥ 900 N/m (ASTM D903 mod)
Foldability at Low Temperature Unaffected at -23 °C (ASTM D1970)
Water Tightness > 60 m of hydrostatic head (ASTM D5385 mod)

2 Unconfined retaining wall waterproofing:


Providing and applying SikaBit W-15, a 1.5 mm thick modified bitumen
waterproofing membrane with cross laminated PE film for wet application
on the retaining wall. SikaBit® W-15 is a sheet membrane waterproofing
system consisting of a cross
laminated HDPE carrier film laminated with a modified bitumen based
2.1 adhesive on both surfaces.The membrane shall be applied after making Sqm 700
concrete wall in saturated surface dry condition and applying a bonding
slurry SikaBit W-1, ensuring the total waterproofing system buildup ~
2.5mm thick there by capable of resistance to lateral water migration 70 m
according to ASTM D5385. The membrane is then unrolled and pressed
into the fresh slurry after removal of the release liner. Both long and short
edges of the membrane are overlapped by min. 80 mm and firmly pressed
together using a roller with staggered overalps. The membrane shall have
