Method Statement for Application of Waterproofing Membrane
Method Statement for Application of Waterproofing Membrane The purpose of the method statement for application of waterproofing is to prevent the water to percolate or penetrate into any underground concrete members. When the water penetrates into the sub-grade concrete-like foundation such as mat foundation, footing, tie beam, etc. the steel reinforcement that embedded in the concrete would corrode due to a chemical reaction caused by water and the structure would eventually fail. Application of waterproofing especially for large structures would have to be strictly supervised by a quality engineer in order to prevent failure of application or nonconformity to the quality procedure. In this method statement for application of waterproofing membrane, we’ll be going to use the membrane type waterproofing, this type of waterproofing is advisable for structures like high-rise buildings which has a deeper foundation where water pressure is extremely high...
