THIS MANUAL CONTAINS THE INSTALLATION GUIDE-LINES FOR THE VOLTEX® AND VOLTEX DS® WATER-PROOFING SYSTEM FOR CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING UNDERSLAB, PROP-ERTY LINE WALLS, AND BACKFILLED WALLS. THIS MANUAL DOES NOT COVER SHOTCRETE, MASONRY BLOCK, OR PRECAST CONCRETE APPLICATIONS. FOR APPLICATIONS NOT COVERED IN THIS MANU-AL, CONTACT CETCO FOR SPECIFIC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES. BEFORE INSTALLATION, READ THIS MANUAL TO GAIN FAMILIARITY WITH SPECIFIC PRO-CEDURES AND APPLICATIONS. IN THIS MANUAL THE PRODUCT NAME “VOLTEX” IS USED GENERICALLY FOR ALL VOLTEX® PRODUCT TYPES.

WHAT IS SODIUM BENTONITE?

Sodium bentonite is a non-toxic material of volcanic origin which can be found in various geographical locations. Bentonite is specially processed by CETCO to achieve the highest possible performance for all of our waterproofing products. CETCO also manufacturers a contaminant resistant bentonite to assure optimum performance in moderate saline or contaminated water. Bentonite prevents wa-ter intrusion by forming a dense monolithic membrane upon contact with water. The specially processed bentonite expands under con-finement,forminganimperviousmembranethatwillbemaintainedfor the life of the structure.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONVOLTEX®isahighlyeffectivewaterproofingcompositecomprisedoftwopolypropylene geotextiles and sodium bentonite. The two geotextiles are interlocked by a patented needlepunching process which encapsulates andconfinesthebentonite.VOLTEXDS® integrates a polymer liner bond-ed to the outside surface of the nonwoven geotextile. The polymer liner provides extremely low permeabilities for water vapour transmission.

Installation of VOLTEX® is fast and easy. Simply position the product into place and fasten. VOLTEX® can be installed on green concrete, in virtually any weather, without the need for primers or adhesives. VOLTEX® can be easily cut on site to form around corners and pene-trations. The result is always a consistent self-sealing membrane.

DURABILITYThe VOLCLAY® sodium bentonite in VOLTEX® is uniformly encapsu-lated between two high-strength woven and non-woven geotextiles. CETCO’s state-of-the-art needlepunching process interlocks the geotextiles, preventing the displacement of bentonite prior to, dur-ing, and after installation. The geotextiles provide superior protection from inclement weather and construction-related damage, without requiring to use a protection course.

SUPERIOR ADHESIONWhenconcreteispouredagainstVOLTEX®, a tenacious mechanical bond is created with VOLTEX®’s high strength geotextile. Independent laboratorytestingconductedinaccordancewithASTMD903(mod.)(Peel Adhesion to Concrete), yields an average adhesion value of2.6 kN/m. The mechanical bond will hold VOLTEX® in intimate contact with the concrete should any ground settlement occur, thereby pre-ventingwatermigrationbetweenthewaterproofingandtheconcrete.

COST EFFECTIVE AND TIME EFFICIENTVOLTEX® is designed to be installed on a properly prepared subgrade, withouttheneedtopouraworkingslab.Theproduct’sinherentflex-ibility allows for easy installation on irregular surfaces and rough property line forming. VOLTEX® can be installed as soon as the forms are stripped; there is no waiting for the concrete to cure.

LIMITATIONSVOLTEX® should only be installed after substrate preparation has been properly completed and is suitable to receive the waterproof-ing system. Concrete work should use conventional cast-in-place forms that produce a smooth surface. Do not use stay-in-placeconcrete forming; use removeable forming products only.

VOLTEX® is designed for below-ground waterproofing applica-tionswhere the product is properly confined. VOLTEX® products should not be installed in standing water or over ice. If ground water contains strong acids, alkalies, or is of a conductivity of 2,500μmhos/cmorgreater,watersamplesshouldbesubmittedto the manufacturer for compatibility testing. ULTRASEAL may be required if contaminated ground water or saltwater conditions exist.

VOLTEX® is designed for use under reinforced concrete slabs 100mmthickorgreateronacompactedearth/gravelsubstrate.VOLTEX® requiresaminimum150mmthickreinforcedconcreteslab if installed over concrete blinding. VOLTEX® is not designed for split-slab plaza deck construction.

VOLTEX® is not designed to waterproof expansion joints. Do not use VOLTEX® on masonry block foundation walls. Consult CETCO for special installation guidelines that ap-ply to shotcrete and precast concrete construction.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Before installing VOLTEX® read this installation manual to gain fa-miliaritywithspecificproceduresandapplications.Forapplicationsnotcovered in thismanual, contactCETCO forspecific installationguidelines.

VOLTEX® is engineered for use under reinforced concrete slabs 100mm thick or greater on a compacted earth/gravel substrate.VOLTEX®requiresaminimum150mmthickreinforcedconcreteslabif installed over concrete blinding. VOLTEX CR®orVOLTEXDSCR® is used in contaminated conditions as determined by a CETCO water sample test.

For hydrostatic conditions, VOLTEX® should be installed under footings and ground beams as shown in Figures 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8. For non-hydrostatic conditions, VOLTEX® should be installed around footingsandgroundbeamsasshowninFigures1.9,1.10and1.11.

Prior to installing VOLTEX® the substrate must be properly prepared. Complete all required elevator pit, sump pit, ground beam and pil-ing work prior to installing VOLTEX® under main slab area. These ar-easmustbecorrectlytiedintotheunderslabwaterproofingtoforma monolithic seal.

The use of construction techniques described in this section al-low the exterior building dimensions to coincide with the prop-erty line, thereby maximizing use of available land for building. VOLTEX®/VOLTEXDS® has been proven to be one of the most effec-tiveandwidelyusedmeansforwaterproofingpropertylineconstruc-tion. Cast-in-place property line construction methods include soldier pile & lagging, steel sheet piling, earth formed shotcrete retention walls, and secant / contiguous piled walls.

For all property line construction methods, VOLTEX® is in-stalled to the shoring wall prior to concrete placement.Install VOLTEX® or VOLTEX DS® with the dark grey (woven) geotextile inward, facing the installer, away from the shoring wall. Refer to each applicable construction method in Sec-tion 2 for specific substrate preparation and detailing instal-lation guidelines.

Verify the following substrate preparation work has been completed. Then install VOLTEX® following the property line installation guide-lines in Section 2.1 on page 12 and 13.

Preparation: Gaps between the wood lagging must be no wider than 25 mm. If the gaps between lagging are in excess of 25 mm, thegapsshouldbecompletelyfilledwithcementitiousgrout,wood,extrudedpolystyrene(min.2.75bar)orcompactedsoil(Figure2.4).Ifwaterisflowingthroughthelagging,athinpolyethylenesheetingcanbe installed over the area before VOLTEX® is installed.

In areas with large gaps (up to 63 mm) between lagging, AQUADRAIN sheet drainage composite can be installed over the lag-ging to provide a uniform surface to mount VOLTEX®(Figure2.5).Se-curely fasten AQUADRAIN to the lagging surface with washerhead nails before installing VOLTEX®.

2.3 STEEL SHEET PILING RETAINING WALL

Verify the following substrate preparation work has been completed. Then install VOLTEX® following the property line installation guide-lines in Section 2.1 on page 12 and 13. Special knurled washer-head fasteners are recommended to secure VOLTEX® to the steel sheet piling.

Preparation: Trowel a 12 mm thick layer of BENTOSEAL® along all sheet piling knuckles. Fill voids or cavities at tieback plates with ce-mentitious grout or compacted soils. If excessive water is penetrating the sheet piling knuckles, BENTOGROUT® can be injected to the out-sideoftheknuckletostopwaterflow(Figure2.11).ConsultCETCOfor BENTOGROUT® applications and installation guidelines.

Alternate Plywood MethodAlternatively, 12 mm plywood may be fastened to the sheet piling to createaflatsurfaceuponwhichVOLTEX® is fastened. All void spaces betweentheplywoodandsheetpilingmustbefilledwithcompactedearth or concrete. Apply VOLTEX® to plywood following “Property Line Construction” Guidelines in Section 2, Page 11.

Install VOLTEX®orVOLTEXDS®withthedarkgray(woven)geotextileside against the concrete wall on cast-inplace concrete foundation walls prior to backfilling. VOLTEX® may be applied as soon as the forms are removed. It is not necessary to wait for the concrete to completely cure. Use VOLTEX® with concrete cast with conventional forms that produce smooth surface.

3.1 SURFACE PREPARATIONFooting should be swept clean of silt, rocks and debris to provide VOLTEX® with direct contact to the concrete in the application area. The wall surface must be properly prepared before VOLTEX® is in-stalled.Areasofsurfacehoneycombingorvoidsshouldbefilledwithcementitious grout or BENTOSEAL®. Protrusions of over 6 mm should be knocked off smooth with the concrete surface. Concrete work should includecompletelyfilling taper-tieholeswithnon-shrinkce-mentitious grout and a piece of WATERSTOP-RX® centred in the wall (Figure3.1).ApplyBENTOSEAL® over exterior grouted surface of all formtieholes(Figure3.1).
