a) All concrete surfaces must be solid and free of all laitance, oils, grease,
curing agents, other foreign materials.
b) Resurface uneven surfaces and repair honeycombed areas, cavities,
recesses and chipped out areas, where form ties have been cut, etc., must
be routed to sound work, using a proprietary premixed, ready to use
cementitious mortar/screed mix together with bonding admixture. ( Mapei
Topcem with Planicrete orapproved equivalent system).
c) For extremely smooth surfaces apply a brush coat of material specified in
b) above.
d) Cut back around pipe penetrations at least 25mm to give sufficient depth
and clean off thoroughly. Apply to pipe a key coat of bonding slurry and
leave for 24 hours. Flush up the cavity with mortar as specified in b).
f) Where cant strips or coves are shown, it is desirable that the cementitious
waterproofer be applied behind the cove strip. Use mortar as specified in
b) for making coves and cants to ensure adequate bonding to the surface
areas.
h) Saturate the dry surfaces thoroughly with clean water just prior to applying
the slurry. Apply the slurry with a cement brush in 2 or 3 coats, depending
on the water pressure. Work in such a way as to leave no areas void,
alternating coats from vertical to horizontal. The cementitious
waterproofing shall be applied at a rate to provide a minimum total
thickness of 3mm.
i) Allow the first coat to dry before applying succeeding coat(s). Saturate
the surface with water before applying additional coat(s).
3.7 Water Test
3.7.1 Water tests shall be carried out after completion of waterproofing systems. In
addition, tests shall be carried out on other areas as directed. All defective areas
showing penetration of water through the floor or signs of seepage and other
defects, shall be made good to the satisfaction of the Architect.

 3.7.2 Water tests to areas installed with waterproofing shall be conducted when directed
by the Architect. Test water-tightness of installation on horizontal surfaces by
plugging drains and flooding with water to a minimum depth of 25mm (or depth as
directed by the Architect and allowing to stand for a minimum of 24 hours. For
water tanks and water features, the water test shall last for 14 days. The
Contractor shall provide all necessary water supply as required and dispose of
water upon completion of test at no additional cost to the Employer. In areas
where leaks are observed during the test periods, such areas shall be recoated
with application of additional membrane material. Recoated areas shall be
retested and recoated until such recoated areas pass the water test. Replace
damaged or wet materials damaged due to removal for correction and recoating
of leaks in membrane. Immediately after Architect’s approval of water test, install
protection layer. Where other finishing materials are to be installed over the
membrane or insulation, such work shall be scheduled to start within 1 day after
Architect 's approval of water test and such work shall be completed within 30
days after Architect 's approval. Notwithstanding the water test, the Contractor is
not relieved from his obligation under the waterproofing indemnity.
3.7.3 The Contractor shall permit inspections to be carried out where remedial works
have been required before covering up.
