GENERAL

If you have pre-customised this work section using the "questions and answers" provided as part of the downloading process, it may be necessary to amend some clauses to suit the final project-specific version.

 

The section must still be checked and customised to suit the project being specified, by removing any other irrelevant details and adding project-specific details and selections.

 

This section relates to the application of Waterproofing Systems NZ Ltd bituFLAME® torch on tanking membrane for basement foundation and vertical wall applications.

It is used:

Modify or extend the above description to suit the project being specified.

 

bituFLAME® is recommended as a torch on tanking membrane for basement foundation and vertical walls in low to medium hydrostatic applications as a single layer system, and in medium to high hydrostatic applications as a double layer system.

 

rawMAT Bentonite is the most secure tanking system, use in high to extreme hydrostatic conditions.  Refer to 4131WR WPS RAWMAT BENTONITE TANKING.

 

bituBOND® should only be used in damp proofing low hydrostatic tanking situations.  Installing bituBOND® to basement walls with another DPM product used under the slab is suitable for non-tanking applications.  Refer to 4131WP WPS BITUBOND SELF-STICK TANKING.

EXECUTION
Conditions
3.1
GENERALLY

Comply with the requirements and instructions of Waterproofing Systems NZ Ltd.

3.2
LAYOUT

If not detailed on the drawings, confirm the layout to suit site conditions and Waterproofing Systems NZ Ltd specifications.  Pre-plan the work to keep the number of membrane laps to an absolute minimum.

3.3
DE-WATERING

Maintain water level minimum 300mm below the level of the work area during the progress of the tanking work and until protective loading coats and walls are complete and fully set.

Use this clause if there is water present.  Modify to suit the circumstances if it is not part 2241 EXCAVATION.

3.4
DRAINAGE

Install a certified drainage system to remove water from foundations.  Ensure drain is protected with geotextile cloth to prevent it clogging with fines, and that it is correctly located, 150mm from the membrane and 200mm below the foundation/wall construction joint in accordance with Waterproofing Systems NZ Ltd requirements.

The drainage system should be designed to cope effectively with the anticipated volumes of water on the site.

3.5
CHECK SUBSTRATE

Check that the substrate will allow work of the required standard.  Complete any remedial work identified before commencing any work.  Substrate to comply with performance requirements of the NZBC.

Preparation
3.6
STORAGE

Take delivery of rolls undamaged and include for site handling facilities where required.  Stack on end, off the ground on a level surface, out of sunlight and above 5°C and with accessories.  Do not allow rolls to become flat or to be crushed.

3.7
SUBSTRATE CONDITION

Ensure that the substrate is in a suitable condition to allow work of the required standard.  Ensure all surfaces are smooth, clean, dry and free from dust and dirt with no projections of sharp materials that will cause damage to the membrane or allow water to track behind the membrane.  Ensure concrete block mortar compressive strength 15MPa at 28 days.  For all substrate types the exposed surface must be flush at joints and smooth enough to achieve a full surface bond.

Co-ordinate with selected concrete masonry section to ensure requirements for flush pointing and block mortar compressive strength 15MPa at 28 days is included.

3.8
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Wire brush to remove projections.  Remove all debris, leaving the surface dust-free, oil-free and clean, with nothing that could diminish the adhesion of primers.  Grind off steps or sharp protrusions caused by formwork joints.  Check for live cracks and if identified install a slip layer of 3mm thick bituFLAME®.

Waterproofing Systems NZ Ltd recommends a high strength repair mortar to be used for any substrate repairs and to fill any gaps in the surface or between concrete panels.

3.9
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION- PRE-CAST CONCRETE

Ensure all concrete pre-cast joints are flush pointed to the termination height of the tanking and concrete pre-cast wall to foundation joints must be fully grouted flush with the tilt slab exposed surface.  Fill tie holes flush and smooth, and repair any surface cracks or defects with Gripset DM mixed with Gripset 11Y Latex Waterproof Additive.  Grind off steps or sharp protrusions caused by formwork joints.

3.10
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION- MASONRY

Ensure all mortar joints are flush pointed.  Repair any surface cracks or defects with Gripset DM mixed with Gripset 11Y Latex Waterproof Additive if required.

3.11
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION- POLYSTYRENE BLOCKS

Fill the manufacturing block indents and grooves with Gripset DM mixed with Gripset 11Y Latex Waterproof Additive , ensure any dents or recesses are flush pointed.

3.12
REMOVE OTHER FORMWORK

Ensure that formwork has been removed or partially removed from the other face(s) to the membrane face, to the extent that it allows moisture to escape from the concrete to ensure no vapour pressure develops beneath the membrane.

3.13

Ensure lap areas are kept free of foreign matter that could interfere with lap integrity.

3.28
FOUNDATION TOE OUT FLOOR TO WALL JUNCTION

For foundations projecting a toe out, generally extending 150mm or more from the struck wall, install a bituFLAME extruded bitumen fillet at the internal junction. For a bituFLAME single  layer system flash over with a 200mm wide sand-finished bituFLAME flashing.  For a bituFLAME two layer systems, apply the base and cap sheets directly over the bitumen fillet.

In a full tanking envelope, protrude the under slab membrane 150mm beyond the perimeter of the footing.  When wall is struck, bring this portion of membrane up and torch to wall base.  Install the wall membrane down over the top to form a sound seal.  Ensure the 150mm flap is adequately protected from damage during construction of the walls and that foreign matter is not able to contaminate the critical lap area.

3.29
FOUNDATION TO WALL FLUSH JUNCTION FLASHING

For flush foundation to wall construction joints install 3mm thick x 200mm wide sand-finished bituFLAME® flashing to junction of foundation and wall.  before the primary bituFLAME single layer tanking membrane system is installed. Where it is a full envelope 2 layer system the flashing is not required.
