blasted, or acid etched with muriatic acid (as necessary) to provide a clean absorbent
surface. Surfaces to be acid-etched shall be saturated with water prior to application of acid.
C. Repair of Defects: Surface defects shall be repaired in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
3.3 APPLICATION
A. Construction Joints: Apply cementitious bonding material in slurry form to joint surfaces
between concrete pours, just prior to pouring fresh concrete. Moisten surfaces prior to the
bonding coat application. Where joint surfaces are not accessible prior to pouring new
concrete, consult the manufacturer for application procedure.
B. Surface Application: After repairs, surface preparation, treatment of construction joints,
cracks, honeycombs, tie-holes, etc., have been completed in accordance with manufacturer’s
product data and as specified herein, apply / provide the waterproofing material as specified
in the manufacturer’s technical and application data sheet to concrete surfaces. Application
rates, thicknesses and locations shall be as indicated in the drawing. When brushing, work
slurry well into the surface of the concrete, filling surface pores and hairline cracks. When
spraying, hold the nozzle close enough to ensure that slurry is forced into pores and hairline
cracks. When torching, uniformly burn the surface when overlapping, to ensure that the
membrane adheres uniformly.
3.4 CURING
A. For cementitious materials : Begin curing as soon as the applied waterproofing material has
hardened sufficiently so as not to be damaged by a fine spray. Cure the treatment with water
as per the manufacturer’s instructions. In warm climates, more-than-normal curing duration
may be necessary to prevent excessive drying of coating. For liquid applied membranes /
Pre-fabricated membranes : natural air curing for duration as described in the
manufacturer’s technical data sheet.

B. Air Circulation: Do not lay plastic sheeting directly on the waterproofing coating as air
contact is required for proper curing. If poor circulation exists in treated areas, it may be
necessary to provide fans or blown air to aid in curing of waterproofing treatment.
C. Protection : During the curing period, protect the treated surfaces from damage by wind,
sun, rain and temperatures below 20 C. If plastic sheeting is used for protection, it must be
raised off the waterproofing coating to allow sufficient air circulation.
3.5 INTERFACE WITH OTHER MATERIALS
A. Backfilling: Do not backfill for 36 hours after application. If backfill takes place within seven
days after application, then backfill material shall be moist so as not to draw moisture from
waterproof coating.
B. Paint, Epoxy or Similar Coatings: Do not apply paint or other coatings until waterproofing
treatment has cured and set for a minimum of 21 days. Before applying or coating, neutralize
treated surface by dampening with water and then washing waterproofed surface with 15%
(HCL) muriatic acid, diluted in a ratio of one part acid to four parts water by volume. Flush
acid off treated concrete surfaces.
C. Grout, Cement Parge Coat, Plaster or Stucco: Because the waterproof coating forms a
relatively smooth surface and the resulting waterproof coating reduces the suction
characteristics of the concrete, it may be necessary to use a suitable bonding agent for
proper bonding of cementitious systems (IPS, screeds, plaster, etc.), if they are applied .
D. Responsibility to Ensure Compatibility: The respective manufacturers’ must confirm in
writing regarding compatibility of their waterproofing treatments with other coatings,
plaster, stuccos, tiles or other surface-applied materials. It shall be the responsibility of the
manufacturer / installer of the waterproofing material to take whatever measures are
necessary, including testing, to ensure acceptance by or adhesion to their waterproofing
system.
3.6 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Observation: Do not conceal installed waterproofing systems before it has been observed by
the Architect/Engineer, waterproofing manufacturer’s representative and other designated
entities.
B. Flood Testing:
1. Perform flood test on completed waterproofing installation for a minimum of 72
hours before placement of other construction.
2. Plug or dam drains and fill the area with water to a depth of at least 100 mm.
3. If leaks are discovered, make repairs and repeat tests until no leaks are observed.
3.7 CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A. Cleaning: Clean spillage and soiling from adjacent surfaces using approximate cleaning
agents and procedures.
B. Protection: Take measures to protect the completed waterproofing system from damage
immediately after application. Do not permit traffic on unprotected coating or membrane.
