FIGURE 3.67 Pedestal detail.
If wood decking is used, wood blocking should be installed over membranes so that nailing of
decking into this blocking does not puncture the waterproofing system. Blocking should
runwith the structural drainage design so that the blocking does not prevent water draining.
Tile applications, such as quarry or glazed tile, are also used as decorative protection layers
with regular setting beds and thinset applications applied directly over membranes.
With thinset tile installations, only cementitious or liquidapplied membrane systems are
used, and protection board is eliminated. Tile is bonded directly to the waterproof membrane.
Topping slabs must have sufficient strength for expected traffic conditions. Lightweight
orinsulating concrete systems of less than 3000 lb/in2 compressive strength are not
recommended.
If used in planting areas, membranes should be installed continuously over a structural deck
and not terminated at the planter walls and restarted in the planter. This prevents leakage
through the wall system bypassing the membrane. See Fig. 3.68 for the differences in these
installation methods. Figure 3.69 represents a typical manufacturer detail for a similar area.

FIGURE 3.69 Typical detail for planters on decks.
Using belowgrade membranes for abovegrade planter waterproofing is very common,
especially on plaza decks. While these decks themselves are often waterproofed using the
techniques described in this chapter, the planter should in itself be made completely water
proof to protect the building envelope beneath or adjacent to the planter.
Figures 3.70 and 3.71 detail the typical application methods of waterproofing above grade
planter areas. Note that each of these details incorporates the use of drainage board to drain
water towards the internal planter drain. Since these areas are watered frequently, drainage
is imperative, in this case, not only for waterproofing protection but also for the health of the
vegetation planted in the planter.
FIGURE 3.70 Typical detailing for abovegrade planter areas.
FIGURE 3.71 Typical detailing for abovegrade planter areas.
Figure 3.72 shows the application of liquid membrane to planter walls as does Fig. 3.73. In
the latter note how difficult the use of a sheet good system would be in this particular
application. Whenever waterproofing abovegrade planters with tight and numerous changes
in plane or direction, liquid applied membranes are preferred over sheetgood systems as the
preferred “idiotproof” application. The con tinual cutting of sheets in these smaller appli
cations results in a corresponding number of seams that emphasize the 90%/1% principle.
Liquid applications are seamless and can prevent the problems associated with sheetgood
installation in small planter areas.
Selection of a protected system should be based on the same performance criteria as those
for materials used with belowgrade applications. For example, cementitious systems are rigid
and do not allow for structural movement. Sheetgoods have thickness controlled by
premanufacturing but contain seams; liquidapplied systems are seamless but millagemust be
controlled.
