Method of Testing:

Air Testing

▪ The length of drain or sewer

to be tested including any
connections should be
effectively plugged.
▪ Air is pumped into the test
length by suitable means
(eg., hand pump) until a
pressure of 100mm of water is
indicated on a manometer
connected to the system.
▪ A suitable time should be
allowed for stabilization of air temperature.
▪ The air pressure should not fall below 75mm of water during a period of five minutes,
without further pumping.
▪ In case of unsatisfactory air test, hydrostatic test is to be followed so that the leakage
can be assessed and located.

Hydrostatic Testing:

▪ A water test is conducted to ensure and prove the tightness of the joints and ensure
there are no leaks in the piping system.
▪ The water pressure test can be applied to the system in its entirety or in sections. All
openings in the piping will be tightly closed by special cast iron pipe plugs or by
another suitable means and the system will be filled with water to the point of overflow
from the highest point. The plugs can be temporally opened to make sure that all air
has been vented and that water has reached all parts of the system.

13 | P a g
e
 ▪ No section of the pipe shall be tested to less than 1.5-meter head of water. In testing
successive sections of piping, at least the upper 3 meters of the next proceeding
section will be tested. Except for the upper-most 3 meters, the whole system shall
have been subjected to a height of less than 1.5-meter head of water.
▪ The water shall be kept in the system or in the portion under test for at least 30 minutes
before inspection starts. While the system is under pressure, a careful inspection shall
be made of all pipes and joints. If any leaks in joints or evidence of defective pipe or
fittings are revealed, the defective pipe/fitting should be immediately replaced with
new joints and materials.
▪ After the correction is made the test pressure will be maintained for a minimum of 30
minutes.
▪ Testing will be inspected by Client engineer to their satisfaction and document for
correct test will be maintained by getting approval in test certificate.

Safety:

▪ Only experienced and skilled personnel shall be engaged for hydrotesting of

domestic water piping system.
▪ Safety guards shall be in place and secured prior to start-up.

5. ISOLATION/WATERPROOFING

For Isolation/waterproofing, the following steps to be followed:

• The concrete surface must be clean, dry and free of roughness or dips. Sharp
edges should be smoothed and chamfered.
• Apply a bitumen primer coating at a rate of average 0.35Lit/m² and allow primer
to dry at vertical walls.
• 2 layers of waterproofing Membrane shall be applied with a suitable gas torch
burner connected to a propane gas cylinder.
• Sheets are overlapped longitudinally of 100mm and end laps of 150mm

16| |PPaagge

e
 • Bonding is carried out by torch application in such a way that a continuous bead
of melted bitumen comes out from the overlap.
• The correct temperature for bonding the membrane on the substrate and the
overlaps is indicated when the protective film burns off.
• A horizontal membrane shall be installed fully bonded.
• The layer should be covered after application with a protective 4cm screed for
horizontal parts. For Vertical parts, a wall of bricks to be constructed to cover the
waterproofing layer.

6. METHOD STATEMENT FOR ROOF

1. APPLICATION USER GUIDE

Concrete should be free of voids, hollows, honey combings, loose or coarse aggregates and sharp
protrusions. The concrete surface should be floated finish. Concrete should be at least eight days
old. Concrete Curing compounds should be tested for compatibility, or removed. All surfaces
should be dry and free from dirt, dust, oil and grease. Forms below horizontal slabs should be
removed as early as possible to avoid entrapment of excessive moisture.
2. APPLICATION TOOLS & EQUIPMENT
The tools and equipment required to apply membrane include a propane gas torch with related
gas cylinder, a knife for cutting the membrane to size, a trowel with rounded end.
3- GUIDE LINES
As per the procedure we make guide for roof one meter length equal to one centimeter slope. In
Reference with the approved shop drawings of roof drainage system, before make guide line client
should make plaster the parapet wall & cleaning the surface.
4-LIGHT WEIGHT FOAM CONCRETE
We pouring the concrete in roof for slope & smooth surface, using foam chemical. And as per the
attached mix design for the density of 450 kg/m3
5-CHAMFER
We make chamfer 5 cm x 5cm in all external wall corners because we divide corners for 90 deg
into 45 deg. The entire External Corner top chamfered with angle 5*5 cm
6-PRIMING
Applying primer along the parapet introduced 350 cm to be insulated by water proofing
membrane.
7-APPLICATION MEMBERANE
We installing the water proofing material use gas Welding, for loose laid System, The application
of the membrane should first be unrolled and positioned correctly on the surface to be treated.
Each roll should overlap the adjacent Rolls be 10cms. Once the Rolls have been positioned
correctly, the membrane should be rolled up again, taking care not to change its orientation. Using
left or right movements, heat the lower surface of the membrane with a propane gas torch (only
for overlaps, the rest of the roll is free movement on L .W.F.C). This will cause slight surface
melting and adhesion to the substrate. Continue the above method for consecutive rolls
remembering overlaps must be 10cms and end laps 15cms.
Details
• We make pipe dressing for vertical pipes and leave overlap with horizontal
waterproofing membrane.
• For drainage: the separation is installed on the internal surfaces of the drain,
leaving the overlay on the surface with horizontal waterproofing membrane
for drainage.

8- THERMAL INSULATION
Thermal insulation is installed after the success of the process of testing the water to the surface,
and on the entire surface with horizontal overlap between the works of the thermal insulation
plates

 7. METHOD STATEMENT FOR Bathrooms (600)

Method of statement EXTERNAL WATERPROOFING SYSTEM FOR WET

AREAS
When all surfaces have been suitably cleaned and repaired, apply Index Bitumen Primer at the rate of
approximately 0.4 lit/m2 to the substrate surfaces to receive the membrane.
.
Allow the primer to dry for at least 1 hour at a temperature of 25oC and above, until the primed surface is
tack free. At lower temperatures allow additional drying time to ensure a tack free surface. priming should
only be carried out on surfaces that will be covered with the membrane on the same day

Membrane sheet layer membrane application

Planning the installation of the membrane is important to ensure joins occur in suitable locations.

Supply & Apply layer APP membrane to be laid with side laps of 100 mm and end laps of 150 mm. the
membrane is to be fully bonding must occur for 1 meter each side of the end laps.

Partially roll up the aligned membrane roll from both ends ensuring that the membrane does not move
from position and start the flame bonding process.

Application of the membrane is by torch bonding using a suitable propane gas torch. The membrane is
applied with the surface featuring embossed squares, protected by the flaming film, facing down towards
the substrate. During the application of the gas flame, the flaming will melt to indicate when the material is
ready for bonding.

Starting on primed floor area of concrete, sheets should lap over previous sheets and this will result in
shingle-type side laps

The first roll of membrane is unrolled completely and aligned. Remaining rolls should be unrolled
approximately half. Way in order to properly align the 100 mm side lap and ensure the required 150 mm
end lap is maintained.

Apply heat by a propane gas torch to the outer surface of the rolled portion of membrane while unrolling.
Move the flame from side to side while unrolling the membrane by slightly pressing it.
On to the underlying surface. Avoid shifting the roll while unrolling; follow the edge of the deck or the lap
line.

In order to have a smooth and even seal at the joint, apply the flame to the bleed out and the trowel
simultaneously and spread the melted compound evenly to seal the joint. Correct welding will show a 4-8
mm wide continuous bead of bitumen compound along the lap edge.
PLASTERING
