Note: Quantity of manpower, materials and equipment’s shall be submitted on the daily progress report.

8. PROCEDURE
8.1.General
Supercast Watafoil 250mm wide shall be used in raft at construction joints, in-fill strips, retaining walls, lift pits walls,
manhole to raft connections. All installation of Supercast PVC Water stop shall be in accordance to the manufacturer’s
recommendations attached.

8.2.Lift Pit
The lift pit consists of three lifts of concrete: the pile cap/lift pit bottom, the lift pit walls and the connection to the raft. The
waterbar shall be installed in each of the construction joints. 250mm Supercast Watafoil used in the wall lifts.

Figure 1: Lift Pit Plan & Section A-A

8.3.Manholes
Manhole shall be a precast element that shall be places in position, levelled, backfilled and ready for raft cast.250mm
Supercast Watafoil used in: the manhole base and wall between the wall and the raft. Note that in Stage 2 the wall ends
below the raft bottom level to accommodate the raft reinforcement steel.

8.5.The raft and the retaining wall.

Figure 6: Wall & water tanks-1

Figure 7: Wall & water tanks-2

Retaining walls shall have waterbar as shown above in figure. Supercast Rearguard R, 250mm wide shall be used in raft at
construction joints and in-fill strips. Note that in the water tank wall shown above waterbar is fixed at the top of the wall to be
cast into the basement slab.
The same shall be the case for the retaining wall if the external ground level is above the joint or there is a green
