AS 4654 is the primary Australian standard that relates to the physical performance properties of waterproofing membranes specified for use… Tensile strength testing is a fundamental method for characterising the mechanical properties of waterproofing membranes, coatings, and other materials and… AS/NZS 4858 is the primary Australian standard that relates to the physical performance properties of waterproofing membranes specified for use… Wasting water along with time delays involved with flood testing in areas that are large and deep (as walls can leak as much as floors, joints and penetrations under hydrostatic pressure) independent testing services in Australia is no longer viable nor acceptable. Electronic Leak Detection [ELD testing] is fast becoming the preferred testing method for builders, waterproof manufacturers and waterproofing contractors who understand time is money on a building sit
SAA Approvals
Your trusted partner for precision testing, sustainability-driven solutions, and real-time insights. Accurate testing of materials’ mechanical properties and strength. Comprehensive inspections to ensure manufacturing quality and compliance. Aerial inspection services using high-precision drone technology. Intertek is an international lab testing and quality assurance service provider in more than 30 industries and has several branch offices in Australia.
The benefits of being a NATA accredited organisati
Waterproofing Integrity utilise a number of types of electronic leak detection with a view to being fit for purpose and benefits that each offers. Electronic Leak Detection is a testing method applied to many waterpoofing membranes as a method of checking for the continuity of the membrane. The thickness readings are obtained by measuring the time taken for the ultrasonic signal to propagate from the probe to the coating/substrate interface and back. Making QUALITY products was and still is our priority and continually Investing in the backbone of our company. While Durotech has its own testing laboratory, the Durotech range has also been externally tested as low VOC by an independent, nationally accredited Firm. At Durotech we make it our mission is to be at the front when choosing construction chemical products and solution
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 need
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
This series includes various parts that specify methods for testing plastic materials under UV exposure. UV test standards provide guidelines and procedures for assessing the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on various materials, products, and biological samples. UV testing has a wide range of applications across various industries, each benefiting from the insights provided by these tests. Testing for UV protection involves several methods, depending on the context (like materials, cosmetics, or clothing
