Waterstops for use in water retaining and water excluding structures where a positive seal is required. Primer options that independent testing services in Australia enhance the adhesion of waterproofing and coating systems to various substrates. HDPE Bentonite Sheet waterproofing membranes with expandable Bentonite adhered to high density Polyethylene (HDPE) for horizontal, vertical and lagging applications. Tremco offer various reinforcing products that are used in conjunction with fluid applied waterproofing membrane
Wolfin Membranes Australia issues a single point warranty on both the materials and the workmanship / application. The application of Wolfin is fully controlled and inspected by Projex Group – this is why Wolfin outperforms other waterproofing systems. A reliable system of waterproofing to the external surfaces of a building is designed to prevent the ingress of water. As mentioned above, there are 5 main groups of waterproofing membrane systems and each of these groups require different approaches depending on a number of factors as well as the installation requirements. There are many significant factors that need to be considered with regards to the design and installation of the waterproofing membrane. The Australian Standard considers and sets out the requirements (based on scientific testing) of the material properties of different types of waterproofing membranes.
CSIRO / APAS Specification AP-S4003 Waterproofing Membranes For Wet Are
AS/NZS 4858:2004 (R – Internal Wet Area Membranes
Equally important is the prevention of water damage to the internal components of the building, which can result in costly repairs and disruptions. Ensuring that the membrane that you are using complies with the regulatory requirements as outlined within the NCC (National Construction Code) is critically important. Adhesion testing is a destructive test method conducted using aluminium dollies connected to a hydraulic pump to discern the bond strength that a membrane has to the substrate. Adhesion testing is a destructive test most commonly applied on exposed areas such as rooftops and podiums. Australian Standards, the National Construction Code and Housing Provisions outline minimum requirements to be adhered to waterproofing system installations. Holiday Testing is most commonly used on Waterproofing Integrity projects as an efficient testing on exposed membrane.

This process aligns the polymer chains in the direction of the force, allowing for extreme elongation while maintaining structural integrity. As the machine applies tension, the polymer initially elongates uniformly. The necking steel sample has a continuous stress strain relationship. Consequently, there is no permanent change in original shape during this test, and hence no ductilit
A well-designed gradient ensures that water is efficiently directed towards drainage points, minimising the risk of pooling and ingress. It encompasses various aspects of installation, from substrate preparation and membrane application to ensuring proper water drainage and membrane termination. The Projex Mission is to source and supply technically excellent products to meet the needs of owners, designers, independent testing services in Australia insurers and operators of buildings and structures for specialist protection against water, industrial liquids, impact and corrosion risk
This involves careful design to minimise the risk of water ingress and redirecting it away from the building to prevent damage to nearby properties. By meticulously preparing substrates, selecting compatible materials, designing effective drainage, and carefully addressing membrane terminations and penetrations, the risk of water ingress can be minimised. The final layer of an external waterproofing system often involves the application of overlays or finishes. To maximise the durability and effectiveness of external waterproofing systems, incorporating protective measures and finishes is essential. These terminations must be designed and executed meticulously to ensure that water does not bypass the waterproof barrier at edges, corners, and transitions. The correct termination of waterproofing membranes is crucial for the overall effectiveness of the waterproofing system.
Membrane Terminations: Essential for Preventing Water Ingress
There are 5 main types of waterproofing membranes that are differentiated by the way they are attached to the substrate and held in position; ballasted, fully bonded, inverted roofs, mechanically fastened & partially bonded. Independent Testing Australia (ITA) is equipped with specialised apparatus to test materials and provide data to coating manufacturers, specifiers, builders and waterproofers to determine product suitability for use in the Australian construction industry and satisfy documentation requirements of the Australian Building Code (BCA), the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Paint Approval Scheme specifications (APAS). As such, specific consideration should be given to the curing of a membrane, in relation to both the product type as well as the area of application. The same membrane installed to both internal and external areas, may have a vastly different curing time in each area, depending on variables such as temperature, relative humidity, and airflow. Inherently the ambient conditions for internal areas and external areas are likely to differ, and this is likely to have a significant impact on the curing of a membrane syste
