China Harbour Engineering Co.L.L.C.
annexure-1
Sloping ribs using sand/cement mix are formed on the roof based on minimum 1% slope
toward the drains. Minimum thickness (50mm) is assumed at the lowest levels i.e. near
drains with thickness increasing away from drains.
Cleaning and brushing of existing concrete surface shall be done prior to laying of foam

The light weight foam concrete shall consist of cement and foaming agent, mixed in the
ratios as specified in the manufacturer recommendations.
The machine mixed light weight foam concrete will be pumped and placed between the
guide slopes and leveled using aluminum/wooden floats to achieve the required slope.
The light weight concrete shall be cured for three days and then shall be kept open to sun
for a full day to make the surface dry enough for subsequent applications.
One layer of “Dulas PG”, 4mm thick torch applied bitumen waterproofing membrane is
applied on the primed concrete surface as per manufacturer recommendations.
Reinforcing strips of membrane shall be torch applied over the corner fillets; changes of
direction around pipe penetrations/roof drain outlets and fully bonded to the substrate
prior to installation of membrane.

unroll the membrane on the areas where it will be fixed and then check whether it is
MS-014-0.0 Page 7
China Harbour Engineering Co.L.L.C.
All lap joints of sheets shall be torched and welded with 100mm side laps and 125mm
end laps. Apply heat to both sides of overlaps in proper order and immediately press the
overlaps.
A separate operation will then proceed by sealing all the overlaps by running down a
heated spatula along the edge of the top layer.
On up-stand areas the membrane is extended over the corner strips installed earlier,
taken above and tucked in to the groove formed in up stand concrete.
The membrane is fully heat sealed at all side and end laps. All seems must be heat sealed
from the top to ensure watertight laps.
A final inspection will be carried out after the membrane has been laid, torched and

100mm maximum for a period of 24 hours. Roof drains shall be plugged prior to the
flooding.
The soffit of the roof slab shall be checked for any seepage or dampness. If there is any
seepage/dampness, then the repair works shall be carried out and again the leak test
shall be repeated for the repaired portion as per the above procedure.

aluminum flashing as per the details shown in the drawing.
Flashing on vertical surface shall be fixed with screws at a distance of minimum 300mm
centre to centre.
Membrane termination should extend a minimum of 150mm above top level of gravel /
tiles and shall be covered with strips of protection boards at exposed surface as per the
details shown in the drawing.
Aluminum flashing shall be pointed with suitable sealant as per the approved material.
All works shall be performed in accordance with the Company HSE Guidelines and
Contractor HSE plan and procedures.
Site engineer/Supervisor will ensure that Personal Protective Equipment is worn by site
personnel at all times during construction activities.
Prior to commencement of any activity, all operatives will be given a general site safety
induction by Safety Officer; the site Engineer/Supervisors will also conduct Tool Box talks
and method statement briefings to the personnel involved in operation. Attendance
records will be regularly updated.
General PPE for all operatives will consist of safety footwear, safety helmets and high
visibility vest. Specific PPE will be issued as necessary. Operatives working with roof
water proofing will wear protective cover all, hand gloves. Other PPE requirements will
be addressed as the work proceeds and other hazards become a factor i.e. working at
height and leading edge of a structure.
