Elevating Durability and Integrity of Retaining Walls

Using Liquid Rubber

Retaining walls, by their very nature, are constantly exposed to varying weather conditions and moisture levels. This exposure can lead to water seepage, structural damage, and even collapse if not properly protected.

Waterproofing is not just a preventive measure; it's a vital aspect of maintaining the structural integrity of these walls. Liquid Rubber provides a robust barrier against water penetration, effectively combating the common problems associated with retaining wall deterioration.

Secure Your Retaining Wall in 6 Simple Stages Using Liquid Rubber

Stage 1: Power Wash for a Clean Start

Thorough Cleaning: Begin by power washing the entire surface of the retaining wall, including the footing.

Remove Debris: Make sure to scrape off any dry concrete spillages.

Stage 2: Detailing - Part 1 with Geo-Textile

Geo-Textile Application: Apply a 150mm strip of Geo-Textile along the entire wall-floor join, embedding it into the Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant.

Stage 3: Detailing - Part 2 for Enhanced Protection

Bridge Cracks and Gaps: Pre-cut Geo-Textile to cover any cracks, gaps, holes, and corners, embedding it into the Waterproof Sealant for maximum sealing.

Stage 4: First Coat of Waterproof Sealant

Initial Sealant Layer: Apply a generous first coat of Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant to the entire retaining wall surface. Use an up-and-down motion for even coverage.

Stage 5: Second Coat for Reinforced Waterproofing

Additional Sealant Layer: Once the first coat has cured, apply a second coat of Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant in a left-to-right motion for comprehensive protection.

Stage 6: Final Steps with Corflute and Backfilling

Curing and Protection: Allow the Waterproof Sealant to cure for 48-72 hours before proceeding.

Applying Protection Board: Install corflute protection board post-curing.

Backfilling: Backfill with dirt, applying gravel and ag-pipe as recommended.

Sealant Application: Apply Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant with a brush, carefully embedding the Geo-Textile.

Rapid Cure Option: Optionally use Rapid Cure Spray for quicker setting (watch the instructional video for guidance).

First Sealant Coat: Apply the first layer of Waterproof Sealant using an up-and-down motion.

Second Sealant Coat: Once cured, apply the second layer in a left-to-right motion.
