Waterproofing is a process that is designed to prevent water from penetrating a structure. Typically waterproofing is done in various layers and stages to create multiple barriers so that water cannot penetrate the structure. A combination of such stages is referred to as creating a “Building Envelope”.

However, often not enough importance is given to this very crucial area while constructing new structures. Over reliance on conventional and outdated systems, low awareness about modern waterproofing systems and lack of trained expertise for application are some of the reasons for the same. Here’s where Dr. Fixit can help you to get the best waterproofing solutions for your new constructions. Dr. Fixit is India’s leading brand in

Waterproofing with a wide variety of products and solutions to meet all your waterproofing needs - from foundations to walls to roofs.

Surface Preparation

For horizontal application, the new concrete layer must be smooth and level and to be left to mature for at least 72 hours. Before laying the waterproofing membrane, the surface must be cleaned of any waste.

All surface imperfections, protrusions, structurally unsound and loose concrete must be removed and repaired with polymer modified mortar using Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP.

Where the separate concrete layers are poured at different levels, the gaps must be filled and smoothed, in order to obtain a comparatively smooth surface. When cleaning the substrate, any pollutants, such as chemicals, curing agents etc., which may affect the membrane adhesion, must be removed.

Installation of Dr. Fixit Flexshield

membrane

Whenever Dr. Fixit Flexshield membrane is being installed, it is highly recommended that the membrane shall be laid at the position and allowed to relax for at least 45 minutes. This will help releasing the tensions in the membrane.

Always use geotextile 250 gsm for protection of the waterproofing membrane, loose laid on the concrete substrate.

On the horizontal sections the Dr. Fixit Flexshield membrane is loose laid between two layers of geotextile 120 gsm. The adjoining membrane sheets are seemed using a splice tape, as the overlapping must be at least

150 mm wide. A 50 mm protective cement-sand screed is laid on the installed horizontal sections of waterproofing system.

Its purpose is to protect the waterproofing system from damages, during the installation of the supporting structure (reinforcing, concrete casting, vibrations etc.)

In the vertical sections, the membrane may be fully adhered or loose laid using mechanical fastening at the upper end. The walls must be dry and smooth, without any lumps, sharp edges and protruding reinforcement.

Aluminum flashings should be used for the mechanical fastening, sealed with Dr. Fixit Silicon Sealant at the upper end. In case of full bonding the membrane to vertical surfaces, these must be clean and dry. The bonding adhesive is applied both to the membrane and to the substrate in uniform and smooth films; so that a continuous coverage of both surfaces can be obtained (membrane and substrate). The adhesive is left to cure, and then the membrane with the applied adhesive is rolled onto the adhesive covered substrate, avoiding the formation of folds and creases. The adjoining membrane sheets must overlap by approximately 150 mm.

The underground waterproofing system is finished at 500 mm above the level of the high soil waters.

The protective layer of geotextile 500 gsm is spot-adhered to the vertical Dr. Fixit Flexshield membrane, using bonding adhesive.

Application

Spray apply Dr. Fixit Extensa to achieve minimum thickness of 2.0 mm

Dr. Fixit Extensa is applied through designated equipment only. It cannot be sprayed through any other type of commonly available sprayers.

Extend the Dr. Fixit Extensa coating up to the top and covering the overflow concrete channels all around the periphery of the pool.

As per the plans drawn up by the structural engineer, lay the steel cage accordingly.

Reinforcing steel must be installed after the plumbing is complete. The steel is installed in a grid pattern following the requirements of the engineering calculations. Steel bar size can range from 3/8” diameter to 3/4” diameter depending on the requirements.

Concrete spacers ensure the steel is not against the wall or the floor of the pool. This system allows shotcrete to be evenly distributed under and above the steel.

a rule of thumb to remember when designing swimming pools is to minimize the number of separation joints between concrete sections in the pool!

Finish the shotcrete area with wooden float.

After curing and drying make angle fillets if necessary, all around the periphery of the pool wall with polymer modified mortar prepared with Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP.

Now the shell of the swimming pool is ready to receive further waterproofing system.

Apply 1st coat of Dr. Fixit Fastflex maintaining the saturated surface dry condition.

While the coat is still wet embed a glass fibre mesh of 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm of 50 gsm over the angle fillets and allow it to soak completely. Immediately apply one additional coat to sandwich this glass fibre mesh between the Dr. Fixit Fastflex coatings.


Apply the 2nd coat of Dr. Fixit Fastflex.

After the 2nd coat is completely dry apply 3rd coat of Dr. Fixit Fastflex and sprinkle coarse sand while it is still wet. This will provide the key for subsequent tile adhesive materials.

Dr. Fixit Fastflex should be liberally applied around the inserts, pipes and the around the light fitting casings, sandwiched with an open woven mesh as an extra precaution about these points.

Now, start the application of tile adhesives from ROFF range depending upon whether they glass mosaics, or ceramics and fill the grooves / tile joints with epoxy based RTM coloured tile grouts.

Dr. Fixit PU Foam Injection - 10 parts of base : 1 part of hardener

The mixing to be carried out in a completely dry container using a stirrer.

After rinsing the pump using a PU Cleaner, fill the PU mixture into the pumping container & initiate pumping on a low pressure & gradually build up the pumping pressure suitably

Stop pumping if back pressure is sensed or if the grout has oozed out of the adjoining hole.

PU foam injection oozes out of the grouting hole & hardens primarily in 10-15 minutes.

Complete curing of the PU foam will happen over a period of 24 hrs.

Mix base & hardener in the specified proportions:

Dr. Fixit PU Plain Injection - (2 parts of base: 1 part of hardener)

Dr. Fixit PU Plain Injection, resin injection to be pumped once the PU foam has set in a similar manner as that of foam.

This will act as a secondary injection thus completely sealing the leaking cavity.

Cut off the extended portion of the packer & seal the surface with suitable putty.

Choice of PU injection grout, Foam/Plain depends on the condition of the substrate & severity of leakage

Injection grouting for dampness using

Pagel ZS 10

Drill grouting holes at an angle of 45° on the wall adjacent to the area of leakage at a spacing of 500 mm centre to centre or less in a grid pattern.

Fix PVC or MS nozzles (packers) in the grouting holes using Dr. Fixit Instant Leak Plug or epoxy putty. Allow the nozzle to set for 24 hrs.

Add water at a ratio of 0.34-0.45 to pre-packed cementitious grout Pagel ZS 10 mix to a uniform consistency using a mixing paddle.

Using a grouting pump, inject Pagel ZS 10 through the nozzle at required pressure.

Grouting should commence from the lowest possible level & proceed upwards along the grid with the pumping pressure increased gradually.

Continue pumping until the grout flows out from adjacent nozzle. Detach the pump & nozzle and seal the grouting hole with Dr. Fixit Instant Leak Plug.
