Timely routine inspections on membranes helps to ensure the best out of the membrane system in place. Regular inspections of waterproofing installations are essential to mitigate defects. This is an essential tool in WISE Corporate Australia for identifying variances in temperature. Knowing the moisture levels in a concrete slab To ensure long-term success of all coverings The initial fees that are paid will then be deducted from the cost of the report if we are engaged to proceed. Our bespoke reports are carried out by a DB-U Registered Builder and tailored to your specific needs.

This is the consequence of current construction waterproofing practices possessing ineffective quality control measures. Find out more about how we can help you achieve the best waterproofing compliance outcome. Our professional objectivity enables us to provide you with the most appropriate compliance recommendations. Our qualified team knows exactly what to look for when performing a thorough onsite waterproofing inspection. Our specialist team is fully licensed and holds both Australian and internationally recognised certificatio
Alfa Laval offers a versatile range of small-scale LabStak™ plate-and-frame modules for on-site membrane testing. Advanced capabilities including AFM, zeta potential analysis, and specialized microscopy reveal fundamental mechanisms governing membrane behavior. Contact angle measurement and SEM analysis form the basic toolkit, enabling rapid morphological assessment. Chemical compatibility testing exposes membranes to cleaning chemicals and operational solutions, assessing durability and dimensional stability. Mechanical stability assessment cycles membranes between operational and rest conditions, identifying potential failure modes. This fundamental parameter enables meaningful comparison between membranes of different materials and structures.

NATA Accredited specialists in the testing of liquid and sheet waterproof membranes, with full range of testing capabilities for internal and external wet area
We make recommendations to help you meet compliance requirements and can support your waterproofers with our expertise. We are leaders in waterproofing compliance. Highly acclaimed waterproofing compliance and compliance consultancy solutio
Pure water permeability testing establishes baseline membrane transport characteristics by measuring flux across distilled water at controlled pressure and temperature. Mercury porosimetry determines pore size distributions by measuring pressure required to force mercury into membrane pores of varying sizes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides nanoscale surface characterization with height resolution below 1 nanometer. Contact angle measurement devices, including automated goniometers with video image analysis, quantify membrane wettability with ±1-2 degree accurac
Cooper and Oxley engaged Detec Australia to test the liquid membrane being installed on the carpark deck and terrace walkway and gardens with retail areas, changerooms etc directly below to ensure no leaks were found in the waterproof membrane. Detec Australia was contracted to find the leaks in the first half and test the new membrane to ensure no leakage will occur. Freyssinet were contracted to remove tiling, repair existing waterproof membrane on one half of the building which had been replaced 2 years earlier and install a new membrane system on the remaining half. Testing your building's waterproofing is easy and quick and will avoid extremely costly problems down the roa
Characterisation is an important aspect in membrane research and can be conducted on the membrane material, the fouling material adhering to the surface of the membrane or fluid that is passing through the membran
That is a made up link between a test and building code compliance using 'that's the way we've always done it' and 'it's been working' as supporting evidence. It's then entirely unclear to me how this test is being applied and relied on as demonstration of building code compliance. For the correct membrane application, the moisture content of the substrate should be measured prior to any application. The selection of materials and waterproofing systems is critical in preventing differential movement caused by shrinkage and expansion of materials and finishes. This ensures that water splashing from the shower will be contained within the area and not damage the surrounding wall
It can be equipped with plate sets of different channel heights to optimize flow and pressure, with the M39L plate set designed for low to medium viscosity liquids and the M39H plate set for high viscosity liquids. All components are manufactured in compliance with FDA and EEC regulations, ensuring safe and reliable operation. With adjustable channel heights, it optimizes flow and pressure and supports the simultaneous testing of up to seven different membrane types. Engineered to support demanding research conditions, the Alfa Laval LabStak™ M20 module tolerates high operating temperatures and pressures and is compatible with the full portfolio of Alfa Laval flat sheet membranes. This flexible unit is designed for plate-and-frame operation and allows Weathering UV Exposure Testing you to adjust the membrane area quickly and easily using two external stay bolts and a low-end flange with full stroke. The membrane is mechanically supported by rigid hollow plates with numerous slots that allow the permeate to collect and be removed from the module via the permeate collecting tubes.
