System III • WATERPROOFING RETAINING WALLS
AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO EFFLORESENCE AND STAINS (Wall Weep)

Features

• Prevents Hydrostatic Water Pressure - The gap design absolutely insures no hydrostatic pressure against the wall.

• Cost Effective – The materials cost and installation speed makes this a high value, quality and performance solution.

• Built in Redundancy – Both components are water barriers, a “Belt & Suspenders” approach to waterproofing.

• No Seam Failure – The water-based, highly flexible, spray-applied monolithic membrane bonds tenaciously to almost any substrate condition.

• Handles Earth Movement – The installation approach allows the two barriers to react independently of each other.
The Components:

BASE MEMBRANE-ECOBASE I or II
A spray-applied, high-build, exceptionally flexible, monolithic membrane that is the pliable completely bonded substrate waterproofing membrane.

EXTERIOR MEMBRANE-ECODRAIN-MS
An exceptionally durable yet pliable drainage composite that protects the membrane from other construction damage, while providing drainage and acting as another membrane..

B.) Ecodrain-MS
The Installation Steps:

Step 1-Detailing
• Treat all cold joints (both 90 and 180 degree) by applying a coat of ECOLINE-R or T, (A) embedding fabric (B) 3-inches on each side of seam in it and then applying a second coat over the fabric. (Step 1.1)
• Treat all penetrations (weep pipes, etc.) in the same fashion, except applying 6-inches on to the penetration and field with fabric and ECOLINE-R. (Step 1.2)
• Fill missing mortar joints with hydraulic cement or rapid set grout.

Step 2-Waterproofing Membrane
• Begin the application of ECOBASE I or II from the bottom to top, always applying to the footer first.
• Spray application should be done in 4’x4’ passes to 20-mil build on each pass.
• All interior 90 degree, cold joints should be built up to a cant strip thickness.
• At grade line an extra pass should be made to provide a gasket where the ECODRAIN-MS is to be attached.

Step 3-Drainage/Protection Course
• Start from top of grade and attach ECODRAIN-MS, dimples facing wall, to the wall at the top flange of drainage mat with termination bars and appropriate fasteners, through the membrane.
• Overlap drainage mat 6-inches at seams, applying ECOLINE-R, and snapping dimples together. On horizontal seams top sheet should overlap bottom sheet.
