R De Silva Mawatha, Colombo 02.

Product : Voltex DS
Voltex DS is a waterproofing membrane suitable for below
grade waterproofing for horizontal and vertical foundations
surfaces. Voltex DS uses the high swelling and self sealing
properties of the bentonite encapsulated between the geotextile
to protect the structure from water

Detailing products:

WATERSTOPPAGE:

This is granular bentonite laid around piles and penetrations prior to laying the Voltex DS
sheets.

BENTOSEAL:

This is a bentonite mastic for sealing at pile caps and terminations

RX-WATERSTOP:

This is a butyl rubber waterstop supplied in rolls for sealing at construction joints and
penetrations.

Advantages:

Installation is fast and comparatively easy. Voltex DS can be applied in damp conditions.
Surface preparation:

A lean concrete is laid on well compacted soil. Voltex DS sheet to be laid on structural
concrete. All dirt debris, oil grease, cement laitance or other foreign objects and other
contaminants must be removed.

Pre-insulation:

A pre-installation planning shall be held prior to commencement of the field installation to


map out approximately the manner of laying the Voltex DS sheets.

Method of Laying:

Substrate:

Laying of sheets to be undertaken on the lean concrete.

Honeycombing, aggregate pockets, tie-rod holes and other voids should be completely
filled with

non-shrink cementitious grout by main contractor and level with monolithic concrete
surface.

Required detailing:

All construction joints must contain Rx waterstop. (To be purchased separately)

All pipes must have Rx waterstop placed around the pipe prior to the concrete being cast.
(To be purchased separately)

General installation guidelines

Install Voltex DS Waterproofing System with the dark gray woven geotextile side facing
the concrete (polyethylene liner side away from concrete) to be waterproofed in both
horizontal and vertical applications.

After the Voltex DS is laid, the structural concrete must be cast as quickly as possible.
Standing water should be pumped off waterproofing by main contractor if structural
concrete has not as yet been laid over the waterproofing.

Each Voltex DS sheet to be lapped to the next sheet with the end laps and side laps to be
100mm.

Slab installation:

Install underslab Voltex DS membrane extending to base of shoring wall and then
extending upwards to the vertical wall approximately to a height as stated above. Secure
corner edge of membrane with washer-head fasteners at 600mm centres or as required.
Place Voltex DS directly on properly prepared substrate (poly side down; dark gray woven
geotextile side up facing installer) with adjoining edges overlapped. Stagger sheet end
seams by 300mm . When the slab is poured in sections, extend Voltex DS beyond starter
reinforcement at the slab edge and then lap the following sheet with a 100mm lap. Laps to
be nailed at 600mm centres.

Vertical retaining walls:

The Voltex DS sheets that are to be laid on the vertical retaining formwork will now lapped
with a 100mm lap to the vertically terminated section of the horizontal base Voltex DS
sheets. Each sheet on the vertical wall to be overlapped to the adjoining sheet.
Pile caps and beams

We would apply waterstoppage around the pile cap in the form of a fillet of 12mm
(diagonally).

Voltex DS is cut to fit tightly around the piles. Bentoseal is then applied at intersection of

the Voltex DS and the pile in the form a fillet to a 50mm (diagonally).

Waterstop Rx is installed on the top surface of the pile around the reinforcing steel.

For the beams, the Voltex DS is lined on the beam formwork over which is installed the
reinforcement.

Penetrations:

Apply waterstoppage fillet of 12mm (diagonal) around the penetration. Cut and secure
Voltex DS tightly around pipe penetrations. Detail around penetration with Bentoseal
mastic with a fillet of 50mm (diagonal)

For tie bar penetration, install the sheet so that the tie bar penetrates the voltex DS sheet.
Detail around the penetration with Bentoseal mastic.

Termination:

Terminate Voltex DS at grade elevation with metal termination bar of width 25mm fastened
on concrete wall. Cover top edge of Voltex DS with a layer of Bentoseal.

Product : Radcon Formula # 7- is a bio chemically modified silicate solution.


The product is spray applied to the concrete and penetration product.

Method of application

Surface preparation:
Any slurry mortar or other substance that exists on the surface that will inhibit the penetration
of Radcon into the structural concrete must be removed by the main contractor/client.

The application will be done directly on to the structural concrete and the surface should be
dry for good penetration of the Radcon Formula # 7.

If there exist, areas of segregation or voids, these areas will be hacked out, sprayed with
Radcon Formula # 7, and patched with non-shrink grout.

In the event that any foreign objects such as timber members, etc are imbedded in the surface,
they will be removed, the area sprayed with Radcon Formula # 7, and patched with non-
shrink grout.

Surface to be cleaned once more to be free from dust and dirt.

Spray application of Radcon Formula # 7

Radcon Formula # 7 will be spray applied to the structural concrete area at the rate of 1 litre
to 5 Square metres.

Curing Period

Day 1, when the surface is found to be touch- dry (2 to 6 hours depending on the ambient
temperature), the entire Radcon treated area is sprayed with water.

Day 2, (24 hours later), flood spray the entire area with water.
Water is a critical component of the Radcon waterproofing system as it assists in product
penetration and also acts as the catalyst in Radcon reaction with the free Calcium in the
concrete.

Product Nilobit PM : Modified bitumen waterproofing membrane


Manufactured from a rich mixture of bitumen and selected
polymers blended together.
: INSUTEC - Heat insulation board

Method of application

Surface preparation:
A sloping screed is laid to over the structural concrete with a gradient of 1:300 (or higher) to
the rain water outlets by the main contractor/client. It is very important that the screed laid
on the structural concrete to receive the waterproofing membrane MUST CONSISTS
OF SUFFICIENT GRADIENT (SLOPE), so as to ensure that there is no water ponding
on the sheet membrane and all rain water will be transferred to the rain water outlets.

The sloping screed is now cleaned. If any mortar, debris and foreign matter are present on
this screed, they are to be removed by the main contractor.

A 1: 3 cement sand mortar fillet of 50mm X 50 mm thick to be laid at the intersection point
of any vertical and horizontal section such as the wall – slab edge, by the main
contractor/client.

The surface will be cleaned to be free from dust and dirt.

Note:-

We recommend a concrete up-stand of 300mm height to be constructed around the perimeter


of the roof edge. The guard wall of brick/block work around the perimeter of the roof, to be
constructed on this concrete upstand.
Application

Bituprimer is brush applied on the levelling screed, which acts as a key coat for the torch
membrane and allowed to dry.

4mm thick torch membrane is laid on the Bituprimer applied substrate.

Each sheet is lapped 100mm to the next sheet – both at side laps and end laps.

The torch membrane laying on the horizontal surface is continued on the vertical sections and
terminated on the vertical walls as per the desired height of termination.

Application of Mixtex super / Watershield sealed at the termination point of the sheet
membrane on the vertical wall.

Pond testing

The structure will be pond tested for a minimum of 48 hours.

On Completion of the pond test

Heat insulation boards (INSUTEC) are now placed over the waterproofing membrane and
loosely laid

A separation layer of polyethylene to be laid over the insulation board, maintaining a 100mm
lap at the polyethylene joint, by the main contractor/client.

A protective screed of reinforced concrete to be laid over the separation layer with necessary
expansion joints. Expansion joints to be filled with a sealant

Quality Assurance/ Quality control:

 The company waterproofing QAQC document will be maintained by the supervisor


from
commencement of the waterproofing until the pond test.

 A pond test approval document will be maintained after inspection of the pond test.
 On commencement of the waterproofing work no materials or personal is allowed
entry into the waterproof area, until the protection layer work is completed.

Safety:

 At the time of application, adequate ventilation is required.
