    The Bonded Waterproofing Concept

    An innovative approach, the MASTERSEAL 345 waterproofing membrane


    Continuous Structure with a
    Bonded Membrane

    This bonded waterproofing membrane establishes a new concept for waterproofing.


    A bonded waterproofing membrane can resolve technical problems which
    have proved difficult to resolve with conventional sheet membranes.
    The bonded membrane prevents migration of water along the concretemembrane interfaces on either side of the membrane.

    Waterproof single-shell composite tunnel lining


    Composite Mechanical
    Behavior

    The tensile bonding and shear strengths of the concrete-membrane result in


    a mechanical behavior of a composite structure. Therefore the primary support lining and the inner final lining act together and can be considered as
    part of the permanent support structure.

    Permanent Long-term
    Durable Tunnel Lining

    Both primary lining and secondary lining together with the bonded membrane
    can be designed for long-term durability: a permanent, long-term durable waterproof tunnel lining.

    Main system advantages


    For Owners

    Reduced total construction time and costs


    Reduced maintenance and operational costs
    Reliable technical solution

    For Designers

    Composite waterproof tunnel lining opens up new cost-effective design


    opportunities
    Composite behavior of entire lining allows for significant reduction of
    lining thicknesses
    Compatibility with other waterproofing systems allows for combination of
    two systems, and hence the possibility of better technical optimization
    Exceptionally cost-effective for rehabilitation of old tunnels

    For Contractors

    Simple application methodology

    Design Flexibility

    Enhanced opportunities
    Cost-effective Waterproof
    Single-shell Tunnel Linings

    The spray-applied membrane facilitates the construction of monolithic, single-shell tunnel linings using permanent sprayed concrete. Recent projects
    adopting this approach have shown significant project savings over the double-shell method. MEYCO can assist you with this design concept.
    MASTERSEAL 345 in combination with sprayed concrete offers unique advantages in refurbishment projects such as the maintenance of the existing tunnel
    profile.

    Drained and Undrained


    Design Options Possible

    MASTERSEAL can be used in combination with sheet membranes. Standard


    joint details between MASTERSEAL and sheet membranes have been established, making the system totally flexible.
    Both undrained and drained lining designs are possible. For drained solutions, geotextile or systematic drainage pipes are used.
    MEYCO can supply you with a generic specification compiled by an international tunnel consultant.

    Ideal for Complex Shapes of


    Underground Structures

    The MASTERSEAL spray applied system is ideally suited to underground


    structures with complex geometries, such as lay-by niches, cross passages,
    turnouts and crossover caverns.
    MASTERSEAL may be applied to limited sections to provide isolated waterproofing, such as in the crown sections of tunnels where conductor cables
    for electrical trains are situated.
    MASTERSEAL is a continuous waterproofing system without discrete joints,
    and does not require water stops or compartmentalization.

    Application

    Simple and flexible application methods


    Cost-effective in Challenging
    Conditions

    Manual application rates up to 100 m2/hour.


    Mechanized robotic application rates up to 180 m2/hour.
    A small team of 3 operators is required for application.

    Simple Surface Preparation

    Water seepages in substrate are handled using small temporary drainage


    holes.
    Suitable surface roughness for the application of MASTERSEAL 345 is
    achieved through adjustments of the mix design of the primary lining
    sprayed concrete.

    Fast and Safe Application with


    a Small Working Team and
    Simple Equipment

    Application using dry spraying equipment (e.g. MEYCO Piccola).

    Final Inner Lining

    The final inner lining is applied when the waterproofing membrane has
    achieved a sufficient curing condition.

    Entirely safe for the application crew and the environment.


    MASTERSEAL 345 can be used in conjunction with fiber reinforced
    concrete.

    Final inner lining is established by either cast or sprayed conrete.

    Operational Security

    Less Risk of Water Ingress

    Technically functional and reliable system.


    The bonding characteristics of MASTERSEAL 345 ensure that the migration
    of water along the concrete membrane interface cannot develop.

    Low Maintenance and Repair


    Costs

    Eventual rehabilitation or repair of leaks is far simpler compared to most


    other waterproofing systems.

    Long-term Durability

    MASTERSEAL 345 contains long-term durable chemical compounds.


    No decomposition of MASTERSEAL 345 under most known groundwater
    conditions.
    Functional requirements for waterproofing fulfilled over the design life of the
    underground facility.

    New Life to Old Tunnels

    A unique asset of the MASTERSEAL 345 system is its versatility and costeffectiveness in rehabilitation situations.

    Know-how and Service

    Assistance During Design

    MEYCO provides assistance to owners and designers in the layout of complete


    system solutions with permanent sprayed concrete and MASTERSEAL.
    Important issues in this process are:
    interface possibilities with other waterproofing systems
    specification details of the required properties of sprayed concrete
    correct substrate characteristics
    MEYCO brings extensive know-how gained through many years experience
    solving challenging situations.

    Practical Training and


    Technical Service

    MEYCO provides technical training of operator personnel for all phases of the
    application of MASTERSEAL. Technical training is generally offered as on-site
    practical education in which all details of the application process, including
    the correct substrate treatment, are covered. During ongoing works with the
    application of MASTERSEAL, technical specialists from MEYCO are available
    for assistance and troubleshooting in order to secure a good technical result,
    as well as optimizing the application process.
