  2. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

    Once excavated, the walls are then power washed and allowed to dry. The dry walls are sealed with a waterproofing membrane, [3] and new drainage tiles (weeping tiles) are placed at the side of the footing. A French drain, PVC pipe, or other drainage system is installed and water is led further from the basement.

  3. Tremie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremie

    The tremie concrete placement method uses a vertical or nearly vertical pipe, through which concrete is placed by gravity feed below water level. [4]The lower end of the pipe is kept immersed in fresh concrete so that concrete rising from the bottom displaces the water above it, thus limiting washing out of the cement content of the fresh concrete at the exposed upper surface.

  4. Waterstop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterstop

    Metal waterstops are delivered in coils of up to 50 m with a typical dimension of 1.0 to 1.5 mm thickness and width of 250 to 300 mm. Splices can be welded, overlapped or joined with a sealant. A subcategory of metal waterstops is coated with polymeric and/or hydrophilic materials in order to provide a higher bond to the concrete and form a ...

  5. Firestop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestop

    They receive a fire rating by combining materials in an arrangement specific to the item (a pipe or cable, for example) penetrating the fire-rated wall or floor and the construction arrangement of the fire-rated wall or floor. A two-hour-rated pipe-penetration firestop may consist of a layer of caulking over packed mineral wool. The arrangement ...

  6. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

    Masonry walls are built with a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp, and the concrete in foundations needs to be damp-proofed or waterproofed with a liquid coating, basement waterproofing membrane (even under the concrete slab floor where polyethylene sheeting is commonly used), or an additive to the concrete.

  7. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    In most climates it is often better to have a vapor-open building assembly, meaning that walls and roofs should be designed to dry: [6] either to the inside, the outside, or both, so the ventilation of water vapor should be taken into consideration. A vapor barrier on the warm side of the envelope must be combined with a venting path on the ...

  8. Sanitary manhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_manhole

    The concrete is poured in to form the base with slopes from the precast concrete wall down to the half point of the existing pipe. This forms a half bench for the manhole base. The top half of that existing pipe is cut open to form a channel. A new pipe is inserted through the wall hole.

  9. Sleeve (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_(construction)

    For example, a 4" pipe, with 1" of thermal insulation makes a 6" penetrant (1" pipe covering on each side of the pipe), plus two pipe sizes = an 8" sleeve, creating a 1" annulus. In case of insulated piping, the size of the insulation must be taken into account for the intended firestop certification listing .
