**************************************************************************

NOTE: This guide specification covers the

requirements for metallic oxide waterproofing for

application on interior face of concrete walls and

floors below grade, to provide a barrier impervious

to passage of water under hydrostatic pressure.

Comments and suggestions on this guide specification

are welcome and should be directed to the technical

proponent of the specification. A listing of

technical proponents, including their organization

designation and telephone number, is on the Internet.

Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as

a Criteria Change Request (CCR).

Use of electronic communication is encouraged.

Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer

choices or locations where text must be supplied by

the designer.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: Surfaces other than concrete may be

waterproofed by this method; consult manufacturer's

literature or approved applicators.

1. Metallic waterproofing is rigid and susceptible

to cracking during settlement or shrinkage of

surfaces to which it is applied. On interior

surfaces, it is readily accessible for repair by

cutting out defective areas and applying new

material.

2. Metallic waterproofing can be applied to

exterior wall surfaces; however, more flexible

materials may be more suitable and effective.
