The main civil contractor has to take responsibility for waterproofing all areas which have
service lines puncturing through the roof, walls etc., including cables, pipes, ducts, trays etc.,
which are installed by other contractors at all potential areas of water ingress into the building
including through vertical surfaces of the structure except at structural glazing areas which is
not in the scope of the main civil contractor.

If cracks are found on the concreted surfaces and water ingress into the structure takes place
or if the quality of finished work is found to be of unacceptable standard, the same will be

rejected by the Engineer in Charge without any liability whatsoever and no payment will be
made for the entire waterproofing system and same will have to be rectified free of cost by
the main civil contractor using an alternative approved method by the Engineering in Charge.

All services requirements for the successful treatment needs to be identified and the
clearance for the same shall be the responsibility of the main civil contractor.

The specification give in the section are generic in nature. The main civil contractor has to
study and submit his final proposal for review which includes detailed specifications, method
statement and shop drawings.

All pre-works like grooves, electrical/Gl piping conduit should be completed before starting
the waterproofing Process.

7.1 Site Requirements

Recommended System: Brushbond TGP or approved equivalent crystalline capillary

waterproofing system at 1.5kg/sqmt for cementitious substrates followed by application of one
coat of acrylic polymer based cementitious coating like Brushbond RFX or approved
equivalent.

8. TOILET WATER PROOFING TREATMENT:

8.1 PRIMARY TREATMENT

On completion of curing and all pre-works stated above, the surface shall be cleaned
thoroughly and any mortar droppings, debris etc., mechanically abraded with carborandum
stone, wire brush and washed with plenty of water. The surface shall be free from dust, dirt
and foreign materials before starting the treatment.

Before starting the grouting process, a 100mm depth water ponding for 10 days shall be
carried out after plugging the trap hole to identify any loose pockets which have potential for
leakage and create water ingress in the floor slab.

All construction joints, honey combed concrete, leakage/damp areas in the slab shall be
treated with pressure grouting using cement slurry mixed with CEBEX 100 or an approved
equivalent grout admixture as per manufacturer’s recommendations. The pressure grouting

TREATMENT

shall be done through sockets to fill the pores in the concrete at construction joints, vertical
surfaces, columns and wherever leakages are expected during cleaning/water ponding of the
surface. The junction of vertical and horizontal surface shall have the cants at 45° using NITO
BOND SBR or approved equivalent with CM 1:3.

All water supply and sanitary lines in the toilets shall be sealed with WINSIL 20/Hydroswell
HDP silicone sealant or an approved silicone sealant all-round the pipes including grouting
with cement slurry mixed with CEBEX 100 or approved equivalent.

After the above said steps of primary treatment, the slab surface shall be applied with primer
coat consisting of cement slurry admixed with CEBEX 100 or an approved equivalent grout
admixture at the rate of 225 gms/100ml per bag of cement. The primer coat shall be neatly
filled to seal all voids, pores, undulations in the surface to make the surface water tight.

8.2 SECONDARY TREATMENT

After completion of the primary treatment a layer of Brushbond TGP or an approved

equivalent shall be applied at 1.5Kg/sq.mt to RCC surface. Treated surface of coating shall be
kept moist by fog spraying 3 to 4 times daily for the period of 48 hours after application of
Brushbond TGP or an approved equivalent.

Apply one coat of Brushbond RFX or an approved equivalent after minimum

48 hours of application of Brushbond TGP or an approved equivalent.

Sprinkle fine aggregate immediately after the application of Brushbond RFX or an approved
equivalent coat to get the mechanical key for the protective plaster. Cure the system for
minimum 3 days as per normal curing practice.

On completion of curing process, a layer of CM 1:4, 20 to 25 mm thick water proofing plaster

admixture with CONPLAST X421IC or an approved equivalent integral waterproofing
compound at a rate as specified by the manufacturer shall be carried out in 2 layers. Broken
jelly may be placed on the 1st coat of plaster for 2nd coat plaster work. The necessary slopes
from entrance door towards water escape pipe shall be made in accordance to the site
requirement. The waterproofing treatment shall be carried out on all side walls up to 450 mm
above toilet finished floor level and all beam tops, junction etc.

TREATMENT

The treated surface shall be flooded with water up to slab drop for a minimum period of 4
days for curing cum testing purposes. After 4 days, get the same shall be checked and
certified before proceeding for further activity. During this period, leakage, dampness etc.,
shall be observed and if any defects found shall be arrested immediately before starting
further activities.

8.3 FILLING OF TOILET SUNKEN PORTION

Case 1: If the depth of sinking is more than 50mm the same shall be made up by using
well burnt selected brick bats free from over and under burnt brick bats. The brick basts shall
be laid to the require slope. Admixture with CONPLAST X421IC or an approved integral
waterproofing compound including the gap between the brick bats shall also be grouted with
the same mortar. A layer of 50mm thick

M20 screed concrete to required level and gradient admixture with CONPLAST X421IC or an
approved integral waterproofing compound shall be carried out before tiling layer is taken up.

Case 2: If the depth of sinking is less than 50mm, it shall be made up by 50mm thick
M20 screed concrete to the required level and gradient admixture with Conplast X421IC or an
approved integral waterproofing compound before tiling layer is taken up. The necessary
curing shall be taken up for a minimum period of 7 days.

9. MODE OF MEASUREMENTS

The measurement shall be for the actual area covered by the treatment.

The length and breadth shall be measured along the walls before the treatment is laid.
