How Instant-Setting Cold Fluid-Applied Waterproofing Systems Solve Problems
Description:
This presentation will describe overcoming waterproofing challenges by utilizing a spray-applied, instant-setting membrane. Instant-setting waterproofing assemblies offer a quick-curing technology with long-term stability beyond UV exposure, including resistance to impacts, scratches, punctures, slips, heavy construction traffic, and roots. Due to the robust nature and enhanced elongation and tensile strength, this technology allows for the waterproofing to be installed without fabric reinforcement. Its durability eliminates the need for a root barrier in vegetative roofing assemblies, creating certainty where traditional waterproofing assemblies are difficult to install due to complex design and construction requirements. After this step-by-step presentation, attendees will understand how a spray-applied, instant-setting membrane may solve common installation obstacles and how to suit project-specific needs through proper specification and installation practices.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify spray-applied, instant-setting membrane system components and technical characteristics.
- Review step-by-step installation requirements.
- Understand the technology evolution of spray-applied, instant-setting membrane.
- Review design and installation considerations when selecting/installing a spray-applied, instant-setting membrane, including HS&W.
