A.

HDPE Membrane Water Proofing under Basement Raft: Providing & laying under the RCC Raft
Foundation, a HDPE based waterproofing white composite flexible sheet membrane, of minimum
1.2mm thickness, when tested as per ASTM D 3767, consisting of high density polyethylene
film/sand blasted surface, a pressure sensitive adhesive and a trafficable weather resistant
coating. The membrane shall form an integral, adhesive and permanent bond to poured concrete
to prevent water migration at the interface of the membrane and structural concrete and shall
include dual adhesive tape lap seam technology to complete side laps and secure adjacent sheets.
The HDPE Sheets shall be overlapped to a min. of 75mm using double side adhesive tape along
breadth and inbuilt adhesive strip along the length of the membrane.
HDPE Membrane shall be applied with following steps and as per manufacturer recommendation:
1) Cleaning of PCC surface to remove dust, loose particles, etc with compressed air or any
other suitable technique depending on site conditions, grinding any sharp edges, etc and
in case of any indentations repair with SBR Latex polymer mortar/micro concrete.
2) HDPE Membrane laid over the PCC and continued over the side of raft, vertical portion of
retaining wall and over the kicker joint, and terminated over the kicker joint, into a saw
cut groove provided at an angle of 45 degrees to the vertical, to tuck in the HDPE
membrane and sealed off with a PU sealant. The membrane shall be chemically resistant
in all types of soil or water, has a zero presence to moisture, does not activate
prematurely due to wet conditions and is unaffected by ground settlement beneath slabs.
The fully bonded pre applied HDPE wieldable grade sheet waterproofing membrane shall
have following typical properties:
The membrane should be comprising of a HDPE layer of min 0.8 mm thickness and a pressure
sensitive adhesive layer, covered by a weatherproof protective and trafficable granular layer of
sand to protect self-adhesive polymer layer. The manufacturer must be ISO 9001 & 14001
certified and valid certificates must be produced as proof. Contractor shall submit methodology
statement with typical sections and get approved from engineer in charge before start of work,
application shall be carried out by manufacturer or approved and certified applicator of
manufacturer.

B. PU Membrane Water Proofing System for Basement Walls: Water proofing on outer face of
Basement walls shall be done with two-component hybrid PU membrane water proofing system
as per Particular specifications.
Waterproofing coating: Providing and applying a two component crack bridging, elastomeric, fast
curing 2 component hybrid polyurea waterproofing membrane system, spray applied to achieve
a dry film thickness of minimum 1.5 mm by a two‐part hot spray equipment after the application
of epoxy primer on the prepared surface with a consumption of 0.8 -1.2 kg/sqm depending on the
porosity and undulations of the surface. The waterproofing membrane must be applied in
minimum 2 coats after application of epoxy based primer followed by the sprinkling of quartz
0.5mm for better adhesion, the waterproofing membrane having the following key performance
properties and conforming to standards and approvals as mentioned:
1. Solid content >99%
2. Tensile strength >10 N/mm2 as per ASTM D412
2) 3 Shore A hardness > 75 (after 28 days) as per ASTM D2240
 3) 4 Elongation at break (%) > 400% as per ASTM D412
4) 5 Tear Strength > 50 N/mm2 as per ASTM D624C
5) 6 Thermal resistance – The elastic properties are maintained at temperatures as low as ‐
20°C.
6) 7. Resistance to fire to std (EN 13501-1) Class E
The supplier must have their own manufacturing facility, should not be private label product or
sourced from third party. The manufacturer must be ISO 9001 & 14001 certified. Contractor shall
submit methodology statement with typical sections and get approved from engineer in charge
before start of work, application shall be carried out by manufacturer or approved and certified
applicator of manufacturer. Actual consumption of polyuria material should not be less than the
theoretical consumption of such materials prescribed by the manufacturer in their latest standard
published literature or more as mentioned in the item to achieve mentioned desired thickness.
Scope includes necessary surface preparation using surface grinder or suitable means required
for receiving the w.p. coating, including making of 50mm*50mm coving at all the Raft -Retaining
Wall Corners floor corners using SBR Latex admixed PMM, tie rod treatment by raking out
30mm*30mm groove around the tie rod, removing the PVC sleeves, followed by cutting using
grinder or suitable, later cleaning and filling with Tie Rod grout, termination by chase cutting and
filling with PU sealant, all complete as per the manufacturer's methodology. Termination of
waterproofing coating shall be done by chasing out groove of 15*15mm and plugging the liquid
applied membrane using PU sealant.
C. Protection Board in Verticals: Applying 8mm thick high density polyethylene (HDPE) dimpled
protection and drainage sheet / board for waterproofing protection as per manufacturer's
recommendation followed by backfilling. The protection board is to be spot- bonded on the
applied waterproofing The dimpled protection board should have compression resistance > 120
kPa, elongation > 20 % according to EN 12311-2 and unit weight ~400 g/sqm, can be installed on
damp and wet substrates. The backfilling shall be done within 2-3 days of fixing drainage boards.
All systems to be installed as per manufacturers recommendation etc. Backfilling should be
done in stages and shall be free from any rock/stone/brick/metal to avoid any damage to the
waterproofing and drain board.
