waterproofing compound to all cold joints and penetrations at least three

inches on either side of the joints and radial out from the penetrations.

While still wet, a polyester embedding fabric shall be placed in the

membrane coat. Then a second coat shall be applied to the embedding

fabric until saturated.

b. The second, or membrane application step is performed by rolling or

spraying membrane material to the manhole exterior surface in wet lifts

until the material is not less than 60 mils thick on the concrete surface. The

surface shall be fully coated, and free from gaps and cracks.

c. The third, or protection layer is a process of applying a polyolefin geo-

membrane slip sheet that will protect the waterproofing membrane from

backfill. This membrane shall be applied such that the overlaps are not less

than 12”, and are sealed with a roller compressed wet layer of

waterproofing material. Waterproofing seal tape shall be applied to seams

overlapping two inches on either side of the seam.
