The Damptec team have installed a waterproofing system with warranty for a reinforced concrete lift pit for a social housing project in Stapleford. 

This system incorporates Type A Barrier Protection internal waterproofing.

Materials:

  • Newton 903-P Modified Primer
  • Newton HydroCoat 912-RT- Reinforcing Tape
  • Newton 203-Repair Mortar – smoothing fillet
  • Newton HydroCoat 107F Elastic 2K (2 coats)

 

Specification:                                

The method we used is in accordance with a Newton Waterproofing specification and includes:

  1. Horizontal concrete floors primed with HydroCoat-903 Primer.
  2. Joints and changes of direction: Reinforcement of static joints with HydroCoat 912-RT – Reinforcing Tape
  3. A fillet along the wall/floor/ceiling junctions using Newton HydroSeal 203 Repair Mortar. The membrane is reinforced at each change in direction from horizontal to vertical with a Newton 203-RM smoothing fillet.
  4. Application of two coats of Newton 107F cement-based waterproofing slurry. This is a mineral waterproof coating that contains crystallising and capillary-plugging agents. When these penetrate into the substrate, they develop an intense bond and the capillaries are plugged making it completely waterproof to pressurised water of up to 10 bar.
 

By selecting Damptec for your lift pit requirements in Stapleford, you guarantee a professionally managed project with dependable and durable waterproofing solutions.
