The project is a 12-storey flat development at Guillemard Road. The roof structure is reinforced concrete flat roof. When completed, it would use for roof garden and services. We will look at the placing of concrete and the waterproofing works. Brief Description of the Project

Waterproofing@Nicole Green • Waterproofing agent used is NITOPROOF 600 • Applied throughout the roof slab and this includes: • applying 300mm high upstands on adjoining parapet walls • Plinths • Kerbs • waste & vent stacks and conduits for services that punches through the roof slab.
Waterproofing@Nicole Green NITOPROOF 600 applied on the kerb
Waterproofing@Nicole Green NITOPROOF 600 applied on the cable conduits
Waterproofing@Nicole Green NITOPROOF 600 applied on the plinth for the power generator.
Prior to the application of NITOPROOF 600 • Be cleaned and cleared of any debris, rubbish and as far as possible, dust • Use water and brush brooms to clean the roof slab
During Application…. • Due care must be taken while applying the membrane on the joints • Take note of the prevailing weather conditions. • Sunny day • Heavy downpour immediately after its application
During Application • After a heavy downpour • Result in insufficient thickness or uneven thickness of the membrane • Recommended that the contractor should apply the water proofing membrane on a fair weather day
Post Application • A 48-hour ponding test is being done on the roof slab to ensure its water-tightness. • Not the height of the water that matters. • Critical: leakages that occur along the external sides of the parapet wall and along the joints on the soffit of the roof slab.
Inspection after Ponding Test • Inspector must ensure that there is no water at the adjacent compounds due to washing.
Inspection after Ponding Test Leakages along the side of the parapet wall due to ponding test.
Post Application • Test compound is drained and dried of the ponding water, cement powder is being applied on the roof slab to facilitate human traffic.
Installation of Insulation Boards • Insulation boards are being placed on top of the roof slab. • To ensure that the apartment immediately below is adequately insulated from the sun’s heat. • Not laid to the edge for expansion purposes.
Post Installation • Damp proof membrane (dpm) is being laid on top of the insulation boards. • The BRC mesh is being laid on the dpm and ready to receive the screed (to receive tiles).
Completion • Tiles are laid on the waterproofed and heat insulated roof slab. • End of the structural and architectural works of roof construction.
