(I ) WATERPROOFI NG

LISTOF BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARD CODE OF PRACTICE (ISI):

3067 : Code of practice for general design, details and
preparatory work for damp proofing and
waterproofing of buildings.

GENERAL:
The waterproofing work shall be carried out by Contractors who have
experience in doing waterproofing work and shall give a guarantee on a
stamped paper for good performance of the waterproof treatment for a
minimum of ten years period and shall, at their own cost, rectify the
defects, if any, found during the guarantee period.

Surface preparation:
Concrete and masonry surface:
Any cracks in the surface (other than hair cracks) shall be cut to V-shape,
cleaned and filled with cement mortar 1:2 or with bitumen conforming to
IS:702 as directed by the Engineer.

All fungus growth, if any, moss, dust shall be removed by wire brushing.

Masonry drain mouth shall be widened to two and a half times the
diameter of the drain and rounded with cement mortar.

When a pipe passes through RCC slab a cement concrete fillet shall be
built around the pipe and waterproofing taken over the fillet.

1.0 CEMENT BASED WATERPROOFING TREATMENT WITH BRICK BAT
COBA:
In general the waterproofing shall be carried out as per
specification of the specialist but duly approved by the
Engineer.

The roof surface before waterproofing shall be cleaned
thoroughly and watered and shall be kept wet at least 12
hours prior to carrying out of waterproofing. If any leakage is
observed the source of leakage shall be located and it shall
be treated either by injection grouting or by closing of the
crack with application of cement mortar 1:2 after cutting a V-
shape groove. The treatment shall be continued till the
leakage is stopped.

Brick piece of quarter half, and three quarter size are laid
piece by piece in the form of horizontal brick masonry in
waterproof mortar with waterproofing compound made up of
cement and sand (1:5) and waterproof powder. The
treatment is carried out layer by layer to make up the desired
thickness to achieve the desired slope as specified in the
drawing and as directed.

The brick bat coba is finally covered with jointless
waterproofing plaster with waterproofing compound finished
smooth with trowel in cement colour, with false markings of
300mm squares. The treatment is carried along the vertical
surface of the parapets and other adjoining walls, upto a
height of minimum 300mm in the shape of round wata. The
average thickness of treatment is about 125mm the minimum
thickness at rain water outlet points being 75mm a slope of 1 in
120 or as specified in the drawing.

The surface provided shall be hard and tough suitable for all
normal commercial and domestic purposes.
If however, it is desired to cover treatment with decorative
tiles, marbles etc. then the surface of treatment shall be
finished suitable to receive them.

Due to the location of rain water pipes being far apart and
due to the span being wider than 9 metres and the water is
required to travel on one side only, then the thickness of the
treatment increased proportionately to maintain the gradient
for the easy flow of rain water and no additional payment will
be paid on this account.

Necessary grooves shall be provided in the walls to terminate
the waterproofing treatment. At the junction of the wall and
the floor a round or triangular fillet of size 200mm x 200mm shall
be provided. The entire surface shall be cured for minimum 14
days by storing water to a depth of at least 150mm in the
entire area.

During the period if any leakage is observed the same shall be
rectified.

MODE OF MEASUREMENT
Waterproofing of the terrace will be paid as per plan area
only, measured wall to wall faces before application of
treatment. The rounded wata and vertical faces will not be
paid separately.

2.0 DAMP ROOF COURSE:
The work to be carried out as specified in Bd.J .2 of PWD
standard specifications and will be measured on square metre
basis.

3.0 WATERPROOFING OF BATHROOM, TOILETS AND KITCHEN SUNK
ETC.
The treatment shall be done by the following method. But
before the work in the floor and wall is done, all chasing or
cutting in the floor and/or wall shall be done by the plumber.
A layer of waterproofing plaster in C.M. 1:3 waterproofing
compound of minimum 35mm thick in the floor area of the
depression and minimum 25mm thick on the side walls of the
depression upto floor level shall be laid and finished smooth
and hard by trowelling. The waterproof plaster in C.M. 1:3 with
waterproofing compound of minimum 20mm thick shall then
be continued on the walls above the proposed finished floor
level upto a minimum height of 600mm with surface and even
to receive tiles to be laid by the contractor. In shower area in
the bathrooms, the treatment shall be for the full height of the
wall.

The plumber shall then finish all his plumbing work i.e. of laying
and fixing of pans, pipes and traps etc. without and further
breaking or disturbing the treatment. The depression shall then
be filled with waterproofing brickbat caba in C.M. 1:4 with
waterproofing compound upto the level for putting tiles, the
surface being finished even and suitable in 1:15 slope with
C.M. 1:3 with waterproofing compound to receive tiles to be
laid by the contractor.

MODE OF MEASUREMENT;
1) Waterproofing plaster shall be measured in square
metres for the treated area only. The treatment to the
horizontal and vertical area will be measured together.
The horizontal area will be measured wall to wall faces
before application of treatment and vertical area shall
be measured from top of horizontal waterproofing
plastered finished treatment to the top of vertical
surfaces.
2) Brickbat coba filling shall be measured in cubic metre
basis. No deducting shall be done for plumbing, piping
and fixtures.
