The Interactive Workshop On The Latest Trends and Appropriate Use of Waterproofing and Construction
A- The Ground Conditions of basements:Basements are immersed in differing levels of groundwater, and aggressive influences including damp soil contact, percolating water, water under hydrostatic pressure plus aggressive chemicals in solution, different soil, gravel and rock, etc. These all require different and often specific waterproofing treatments to be applied to the structure. A part or partial waterproofing treatment can also be achieved with drainage or porous screeds that are laid to falls on horizontal surfaces to drain off any water.
B-Mode of waterproofing and degree of water tightness required Basically there are two modes first is called rigid and second is flexible here we will see flexible type mode GRADES OR DEGREE OF WATERTIGHTNESS
Grade 1
Suitable for basic Utility
Some seepage and damp patches tolerable (min. wall thickness: 150 mm) like- Car parking areas Plant rooms/workshops excluding any electrical equipment in the areas
Grade 2
Suitable for better Utility
No water penetration but moisture vapour tolerable (min. wall thickness: 200 mm) like- Retail storage areas ,Plant rooms and workshops requiring drier environment with electrical equipment in the area
Grade 3
Suitable for habitable
Dry environment ventilated (min. wall thickness: 250 mm)
Grade 4
Suitable for Special Requirements
Totally dry environment ventilated (min. wall thickness: 300 mm) Archives and special equipment or storage areas Controlled environment
FPO-PE with glass fleece restraint 16, 20, 25, 35 30 Top layer: green Reverse layer: black Smooth Top layer: smooth Reverse: embossed 2.00 According to EN 13967
PVC-P, homogeneous 15, 20, 30 Top layer: yellow Reverse layer: black Smooth 2.00
Apply procedure This membrane can be simply putted on PCC and seam overlaps of the membranes should securely and homogeneously welded with electric heat welding machines; this can be done manually with hand welding guns, or automatically with self-propelled machines.
SPECIAL FEATURES Watertight Security and Extending Service Life with Sikaplan Flexible Membrane Systems Repairing Leaks at any Time during the Construction Period and the Service Life of the Structure
A compartmental waterstopping system with Sika Waterbars and welded double layer Sikaplan sheet membranes is combined with Sika injectable pipes and ports cast into the concrete structure, to provide the security of complete watertightness control, allowing fast location, then fast and easy repairs using Sika injection resins, if this is ever required at any time during the construction period or during the entire service life of the structure.
Sika Control and injection ports
EFFECTS
Leaks through damaged membrane are easily detected as water appears in the Sika Control pipes and injection ports Possible Reasons for Membrane Waterproofing System Leaks Membrane perforated during construction works Welded seam overlaps not professionally welded and tested to be watertight Torn membrane after excessive settlement or other structural movement
Repairing the waterproofing by the injection of Sika Injection-305 resin through the Sika Control pipe and injection port.
Sika Injection-305
A flexible, very low-viscous and fast-reacting polyacrylate injection gel for the permanent watertight sealing of damaged membrane waterproofing installations (both single and double layer systems). The material reacts to form a waterproof, flexible but solid gel with good adhesion to both dry and wet substrates.

MATERIAL-SikaSwell S-2 Sealant(Water swellable Sealant for Construction Joints and Penetrations)
As per our site condition most of seepage or leakage occurs where we cross services line through structures. For packing this we do micro concreting, water proofing chemicals mixing in concrete or some other means but after taking care of all these things we finds seepage or leakage at some points.so for protection of this sika has suggested a material called sika swell s-2 a water swellable sealant Sika Swell S-2 is one component polyurethane sealant which swells in contact with water.
Uses
SikaSwell S-2 is suitable for sealing watertight concrete construction joints, penetrations Sealing of Day work Joints
No mechanical fixing required No jointing required No mechanical protection required Suitable for vertical and horizontal joints Not suitable for expansion joints
Sealing of Cracks
Excellent sealing properties Non-visible on external surfaces Little preparation/breakout Quick solution Works in mat moist conditions

By cutting the nozzle at different lengths, Different profile sections can be obtained. Nozzle size Section Theoretical (mm) (mm2) length* (m) 15x15x15 98 6.1 2ox20x20 173 3.5 Consumption should be calculated allowing a reduction of the theoretical length with regard to extrusion irregularities and the roughness of the joint surface
What is MTC System- SikaRoof MTC (Moisture Triggered Chemistry) Systems incorporate a unique technology that allows the material to use atmospheric moisture to trigger the curing process. This means the waterproof membranes are capable of curing in a wide range of conditions including extreme temperature ranges and humidity variations. Unlike traditional polyurethane systems they do not release CO2, which often causes gassing, and application is not delayed by adverse weather conditions. It is not recommended to install the SikaRoof MTC systems .when rain is imminent, as rainfall could affect the appearance of the product. However, once applied the membranes are waterproof and will not show an adverse
KEY BENEFITS
Completely seamless fully-bonded waterproofing system preventing water migration and reducing the risk of leaks due to failure of joints Sikalastic Root Resistant waterproofing membranes have been tested to meet the requirements of DIN 4062 5.7 Root Resistance Test Cold applied - cold fusion bonded, zero heat, zero flame application No fire watch required during application - installed system achieves highest fire ratings High tensile strength - resists tear from building movement High elasticity - allows for greater thermal movement Compatible with bitumen Environment friendly, no C02 release
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
As it had discussed that it is a single component product so there is no requirement of ancillaries materials 1st simply one coat of PU based liquid membrane base coat 2nd and a PU based liquid membrane top coat - UV stable
