2.01 MANUFACTURER
A. Sika St. Louis, 3400 Tree Court Industrial Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63122; Phone: 800-325-9504; Fax:
800-551-5145; Email: [email protected]; usa.sika.com
B. Source Limitations for Waterproofing System: Obtain primary sheet membrane waterproofing and all
joint sealing and waterstop materials of each type required from a single manufacturer.
2.02 MATERIALS
A. Pre-applied Integrally Bonded Sheet Waterproofing Membrane: SikaProof A by Sika, a multi-layered
composite sheet membrane consisting of a flexible polyolefine membrane, laminated with a polyolefin
adhesive sealant applied in a fine grid pattern, and a non-woven polypropylene fleece. The membrane
shall form a continuous and permanent mechanical bond to poured concrete to prevent lateral water
migration between the membrane and structural concrete.
1. Horizontal Applications:
a. Sika (St. Louis Sales Office); SikaProof A-08.
2. Vertical Applications:
a. Sika (St. Louis Sales Office); SikaProof A-05.
B. Provide membrane with the following physical properties:
2.03 ACCESSORIES
A. SikaProof A Edge: Preformed L-shaped waterproofing sheet to form perimeter edge, internal and
external corners, and connections of membrane waterproofing system.
B. Tapes for Detailing:
1. SikaProof Tape-150: Self-adhesive tape for internal jointing.
2. SikaProof ExTape-150: Self-adhesive tape for external jointing.
C. Waterstop: Sika Greenstreak waterstops as required by Section 03 15 13.
D. Reinjectable Injection Hose System: SikaFuko VT injection hose system used in conjunction with Sika
Injection 306 as required by Section 03 1513.
E. Sarnafelt NWP-HD: Separation layer comprised of a high quality geotextile fabric of non-wovem
polypropylene used as a leveling layer to absorb the inconsistencies of the substrate.
F. Sika 5 mm Protection Board: Extruded polypropylene protection layer.
G. Sika Drainage Mat 420: Consists of a polypropylene dimpled drainage core bonded with a non-woven
geocomposite fabric on the top side, and a membrane protective film bonded to the bottom side.
H. SikaProof FixTape-50: Self-adhesive tape for adhering waterstop and detailing.
I. SikaProof Metalsheet: Fleece lined metal sheeting for special detailing around pile heads.
J. SikaProof Patch-200: External membrane patching tape for sealing any external penetrations or
local membrane damage.
K. Miscellaneous Accessories: Accessories specified or acceptable to manufacturer of pre-applied
waterproofing membrane system.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 GENERAL
A. The Installer shall examine conditions of substrates and other conditions under which this work is to be
performed and notify the Contractor, in writing, of circumstances detrimental to the proper
completion of the work. Do not proceed with work until unsatisfactory conditions are corrected.
B. Membrane Placement: Thickness of the sub-grade membrane shall be determined by the following
factors and approved by the membrane manufacturer’s technical representative and the architect.
1. SikaProof A-08: Use on all horizontal surfaces and where rebar cages are placed next to vertical
surfaces. Run SikaProof A-08 Edge up vertical wall to a height above the rebar concentration and
marry to the SikaProof A-05 membrane.
2. SikaProof A-05: Use on all vertical surfaces above high static pressure elevations and on vertical
surfaces where rebar damage is less problematic.
