5- Horizontal Water Proofing Membrane

Purpose:
The purpose of the application of waterproofing is to prevent the water
to percolate or penetrate into any underground concrete members. When
the water penetrates into the sub-grade concrete like foundation such as:
mat foundation, footing, tie beam etc. the steel reinforcement that
embedded in the concrete would corrode due to chemical reaction
caused by water and the structure would eventually fail.

Materials:
 Approved water proofing membrane.
Responsible Manager
• Site engineer.
Work Procedures:
 Any undulations or protrusions on the surface would be removed

in order to obtain smooth surface. The surface must be thoroughly
cleaned and free from dust, dirt loose materials, oil or grease.
 For horizontal waterproofing membrane application. Two layer of
4mm thick bituminous membrane shall be laid fully torched on
blinding concrete with minimum of 100m end laps and 150mm
side laps.
7|Page
 The blinding surface shall be primed with the primer

recommended by the manufacturer of the membrane prior to
placing the membrane. Prior to succeeding works the applied
primer shall be inspected by the Engineer 24 hours after the
placement.
 Waterproofing membrane installation shall be performed using
cylinder fed propane gas torch, trowel to seal the seams of the
membrane and knife for cutting.
 The membrane is then placed in the correct torching on position
then re-rolled for about half of its length without changing its
orientation.
 The membrane is then un-rolled again and torched on pressing the
melted area against the substrate.
 Repeat till the entire length of the membrane is bonded firmly onto
the surface then the second membrane is laid in the same way with
an overlap of 150mm at the end and 100mm at the side.
 An extra length of minimum 300mm of the horizontal membrane
shall be left to carry up the vertical surface to maintain continuity
of the membrane and be protected as above.
 Before applying the waterproofing membrane, concrete surfaces
shall be primed with primer recommended by the manufacturer of
the membrane but the again it should be inspected by the Engineer
24 hours after the placement.
 The extra portion of 300 mm of the horizontal membrane left shall
be turned up and wrapped on to the vertical primed surfaces. The
continuity of the membrane shall be maintained by minimum laps
of 150mm.
 All areas of the membrane exposed above ground shall be
protected with appropriate flashing.
 Inspection would be submitted for approval of the Engineer.

 Before fixing of steel reinforcement for foundation, the membrane

shall be covered by one layer of polythene sheet and poured with
50 mm thick layer of cement sand screed.

embedded items (if exist) shall be installed at the required level.
Concrete Placement Work Procedures:

 The concrete work shall confirm to all requirements of ECP-203-
2011 Structural use of concrete.
 No concrete shall be placed in the permanent works until the
consultant has approved the materials.
 No concrete shall be placed in any part of the permanent structure
until the consultant consent has been given in writing.
 The concrete shall be deposited as nearly as possible in its final
position. It shall be placed so as to avoid segregation of concrete
and displacement of the reinforcement, other embedded items or
formwork.
 Maximum free fall height / free drop height shall be minimized to
1.5m to avoid segregation.
13 | P a g e
 The concrete will be placed into layers not more than 600mm. or
agreed by the consultant. (The layer thickness will be controlled by
marking on the hose pipe).
 During concrete placement operations it will be ensured that
ambient temperature is 42°C while concrete temperatures 32°C.
 The cubes of concrete will be made for lab testing as per standards
and specifications (after 7 days and 28 days)
