Application

The waterproofing of concrete-piled foundations can be problematic especially when bituminous liquid or sheet membranes are being used. You cannot use these types of materials over pile heads and pile caps because they do not have the bearing capacity to support the applied load.


Koster Aquatecnic offers a hybrid system which presents a unique system to treat this problem. By using the Koster NB1 Grey over the pile head it (a crystalline cementitious material) it is able to accept the load applied by subsequently poured ground beams or foundation slabs without acting as a separation membrane. This waterproofing can then be linked to the area or surrounding bituminous waterproofing over the rest of the slab.


An highly effective, economic and easily applied material that can be used in all Grades of below ground waterproofing as per BS 8102.

Description

The waterproofing of pile heads has to withstand heavy loads from the whole building and needs be easily connected to the area waterproofing.


This system contains the following components:

  • Primer: Koster Polysil TG500
  • Reprofiling mortar: Koster Repair Mortar Plus.
  • Waterproofing of pile heads: Koster NB 1 Grey.
  • Waterproofing layer: Koster Deuxan® 2C.
  • Embedded mesh: Koster Glass Fibre Mesh.


Following preparation to remove any debonding materials or loose/damaged concrete, prime the concrete pile head using Koster Polysil TG500. Once the primer has cured, the surface has to be levelled and re-profiled with Koster Repair Mortar Plus.


Koster NB 1 Grey is then used to waterproof the pile head. Brushed over the smooth pile head, and onto the surrounding blinding layer then left to cure.


The waterproofing on top of the blinding layer is made with Koster Deuxan 2C. This is applied in two coats with Koster Glass Fibre Mesh laid into the fresh first layer. Before pouring the concrete for the floor slab a gliding layer consisting of two layers of customary PE-Foil is applied between the waterproofing and the concrete - acting as a slip layer. Protect the waterproofing layer from mechanical damage when continuing with the application.
