Examine soil substrates, areas, and conditions under which waterproofing systems will be applied, with Installer present, for compliance with requirements. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2 SHEET PILE PREPARATION A. Sheet pile installation. 1. Sheet piles are affixed using anchors or soil compaction. 2. Sheet piles are spaced no greater than _ apart. Lagging spikes that cannot be removed need to be covered with appropriate protective material to prevent damage to drainage composite.

B.

3.3 DRAINAGE MAT INSTALLATION

A.

Place and secure drainage panels to the soil substrate with the geo-textile facing the soil or soil retention. Place soil anchors through the drainage mat by slitting vertically and sliding it over the anchor. Overlap edges of dimpled core and ends of geo-textile on both horizontal and vertical seams a minimum of 6 to maintain continuity. Protect ECODRAIN-E during subsequent construction. Fasten ECODRAIN-E with approved fasteners a minimum of every 24 on center on seams and terminations and a minimum of every 48 on center in field.

B. C.

D. E.

3.4 BASE COURSE MOISTURE/GAS BARRIER INSTALLATION A. Install ECOSHIELD-P over ECODRAIN or other approved substrate in one direction with 6-inch overlaps. B. Fasten with manufacturer approved fasteners a minimum of 48-inches on center. C. Secure ECOSHIELD-P seams by applying a 60-mil coat of ECOLINE-S between the overlapped sheets. D. Each fastener should be treated with polyester fabric and ECOLINE-R. 3.5 PREPARATIONS AND TREATMENT AT TERMINATIONS AND PENETRATIONS A. Prepare of ECODRAIN-E at terminations; penetrations; expansion joints; drains; sleeves and soil nails according to ASTM C 898 and manufacturers recommendations. 1. Apply two coats of ECOLINE-T or ECOLINE-R (30-mil each). Embed a joint reinforcing polyester in preparation coat and apply a second coat over embedded joint reinforcing polyester ensuring its complete saturation and covering. Terminations should be treated 3-inches up vertical and 3-inches on horizontal. Penetrations should be treated in a 3-inch radius around penetration and 3 inches onto penetrating object.

2. 3.

B.

Prepare tie-backs per manufacturers recommendations.

**Optional design for water table conditions. 1. 2. 3. Install prefabricated galvanized or plastic cap. Inject cap with expandable close cell foam. Treat 3 onto cap and 3 onto ECODRAIN-E.

3.6 FLUID APPLIED WATERPROOFING/GAS MEMBRANE APPLICATION A. B. C. Set up spray equipment according to manufacturers instructions. Mix materials according to manufacturers instructions. Start installing waterproofing in presence of manufacturers technical representative or approved 3rd party inspector. Apply waterproofing/gas membrane, according to manufacturers recommendations, by spray (ECOLINE-S) or roller (ECOLINE-R).

D.

E.

Apply one spray coat of ECOLINE-S or four coats of ECOLINE-R waterproofing/gas membrane to obtain a seamless membrane free of entrapped gases, with a dry film thickness of 60 mils (1.5 mm). Apply waterproofing/gas membrane in and around soil anchor penetrations and cavities (Bird Beaks) copiously to ensure the formation of monolithic gasket to receive the specially placed concrete. Apply waterproofing/gas membrane to prepared wall terminations and vertical surfaces to heights indicated according to manufacturers recommendations and details. Verify film thickness of waterproofing every 100 sq./ft. (9.3 sq./m).

3.7 WATERPROOFING/PROTECTION COURSE INSTALLATION A. Install ECOSHIELD-PB waterproofing/protection course perpendicular to the ECOSHEILD-P base over nominally cured membrane no later than recommended by manufacturer and before starting subsequent construction operations. B. Secure ECOSHIELD-PB protection course seams by applying ECOLINE-S between overlapped sheets as recommended by the manufacturer. C. Fasten with manufacturer approved fasteners a minimum of every 24-inches on center. D. Each fastener should be treated with polyester fabric and ECOLINE-R. 3.8 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL A. Membrane may be checked for coverage with a lightly oiled, needle nose depth gauge, taking four (4) readings over a one square inch area, every 500 square feet. Record the minimum reading. Mark the test area for repair. Test areas are to be patched over with ECOLINE-S to an 80-mil minimum dry thickness, extending a minimum of one inch (1) beyond the test perimeter.

B.

3.9 CURING, PROTECTING, AND CLEANING A. Cure waterproofing according to manufacturers recommendations. It should be noted normal curing time is 24 to 48 hours to achieve a permanent water barrier. However, in some conditions such as a saturated substrate, extremely cold conditions and/or high humidity, the full adhesion of the membrane may be delayed. The length of delay may be subject the membrane thickness and severity of conditions. Take care to prevent contamination and damage during application stages and curing. Clean spillage and soiling from adjacent construction using cleaning agents and procedures recommended by manufacturer of affected construction.
