    This document discusses tanking, which is a waterproof lining used for substructures to prevent water ingress. It describes mastic asphalt as the traditional material used for tanking. Mastic asphalt is applied in three hot coats to vertical surfaces at a thickness of 20mm and horizontal surfaces at 30mm. It should be applied to the outside of structural walls and under structural floors so the structure provides resistance against water pressure on the asphalt. Figures (a) and (b) illustrate typical mastic asphalt tanking applications for concrete and brick substructures.

    62.27 Cast in-situ concrete with integrated tanking


    Tanking
    The term tanking is used to describe a continuous waterproof
    lining to the walls and floors of substructures to act as a tank to
    exclude water.
    Mastic asphalt
    The traditional material for tanking is mastic asphalt, which is
    applied and spread hot in three coats to a thickness of 20mm for
    vertical and 30mm for horizontal work.
    Asphalt tanking should be applied to the outside face of the
    structural wall and under structural floors so that the walls and
    floors provide resistance against water pressure on the asphalt
    and the asphalt keeps water away from the structure.
    The horizontal asphalt is spread in three coats on the concrete
    base and over pile caps and extended 150mm outside of the
    junction of the horizontal and vertical asphalt and angle fillet. The
    horizontal asphalt is then covered with a protective screed of
    cement and sand 50mm thick. The reinforced concrete floor
    should be cast on the protective screed as soon as possible to act
    as a loading coat against water pressure under the asphalt below.
    When the reinforced concrete walls have been cast in place and
    have dried, the vertical asphalt is spread in three coats and fused
    to the projection of the horizontal asphalt with an angle fillet.
    A half brick protective skin of brickwork is then built, leaving a
    40mm gap between the wall and the asphalt. The gap is filled
    solidly with mortar, course by course, as the wall is built the half

    brick wall provides protection against damage from backfilling


    and the mortar filled gap ensures that the asphalt is firmly
    sandwiched up to the structural wall.

    Figure (a)

    In figure (a) the asphalt tanking is continued under a paved


    forecourt. Where vertical asphalt is carried up on the outside of
    external walls, it should be carried up atleast 150mm above

    ground
    dampcourse.

    Figure (b)
    Figure (b) is an illustration of mastic asphalt tanking to a concrete
    floor and load bearing brick wall to a substructure the protective
    screed to the horizontal asphalt and protecting outer wall and
    mortar filled gap to vertical asphalt serve the same functions as
    they do for a concrete substructure. As a key for vertical asphalt,
    the horizontal joints in the external face of the loadbearing wall
    should be lightly raked out and well brushed when the mortar is
    hardened sufficiently.
