Elite Waterproofing Case Study

Location: Whitby, Ontario, Canada

Equipment Used: UCMK130PT, UCMK370PT, Squeegees

UCMK130PT is being used to melt Tremco 6100 waterproofing rubber.

Elite Waterproofing Inc. is a budding but experienced commercial service business in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They were recently tasked with waterproofing the foundation of the newly-constructed condos in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

The engineering specifications for this particular condo foundation waterproofing job required a 2-ply waterproofing method.

To facilitate the waterproofing process for this condominium foundation, they first needed to have some kind of melting kettle designed to liquefy blocks of rubberized bitumen(hot-applied Tremco TREMproof 6100 is designed for many forms of commercial waterproofing projects ) in large quantities before they could apply it using flat bottom squeegees and pour buckets.

Since they wanted to perform a high-quality job without equipment issues and as quickly and efficiently as possible, they chose to use two variations of our Marathon Equipment Inc. hot rubber waterproofing kettles which they already had in their fleet of waterproofing equipment - the UCMK130PT & UCMK370PT.

Both units are double-jacketed, oil-bath melters with mechanical agitation, specifically designed for applying non-direct fired hot rubberized asphalt waterproofing membranes.

On a full material tank of hot rubberized asphalt, Marathon's UCMK370PT covers 3,000 sq ft and the UCMK130PT covered 1,500 sq ft for a grand total of 4,500 sq ft. Having the right capacity allowed Elite to finish the job in short order.

the 2-ply waterproofing method

First the Marathon UCMK hot rubber kettles melted what would become the base layer consisting of Tremco 6100 waterproofing rubber using propane burners set to the ideal temperature.

After the standard heat-up period of 3 hours needed to properly melt the foundation coating material, the liquified waterproofing material was applied as a base layer for the secondary aspect of the 2-ply waterproofing method.

This is when a waterproofing membrane composed of SBS modified bitumen and a trilaminate woven polyethylene facer is applied over the sprayed rubber film-in this case Resisto self-adhering waterproofing membrane. (Tremco also makes rolls of this material.)

This is followed by another layer of melted Tremco 6100, then yet another overlapping layer of the flexible Resisto waterproofing membrane. Even after this extensive, but long-lasting and durable process, thicker and stiffer protective boards from Tremco are also applied to further reinforce and protect the multiple layers of applied waterproofing barrier prior to pouring cement.

In total, the job took 5 hours - 3 hours to heat the material and 2 hours to apply the 2-stage waterproofing method.

Since there were no material production delays on site, the workers were able to move about consistently while applying surface coatings at the right temperatures such that they could finish ahead of schedule. Such efficiency and respect for quality will allow this company to complete more jobs for more customers throughout the construction season.

Right Seal Inc Residential Crack Filling

Location: Hamilton, ON, Canada

Equipment Used: UCMK370DT, DF10W and CR300K

Right Seal Inc. is a full-service pavement maintenance operation with expertise in all fields of the industry, including but not limited to crack routing and filling, asphalt sealing, catch basins and line marking.

We joined Right Seal at a residential job site that was commissioned by a homeowner's association. The job consisted of crack routing and crack sealing on the residential streets within a neighborhood. The equipment being used included Marathon's UCMK370DT, DF10W and CR300K. Additionally the crew was using blowers, torches, and a backpack sprayer to apply Glenzoil.

The job started with the crew routing out the designated cracks. This was done quickly using their Marathon CR300K router, navigating the cracks using the router's guidance pin and the operator's experience with the equipment.

Closely behind the routing operator was a crew member with a backpack blower, blowing out the routed cracks to clean them. This step can also be completed with a walk behind blower such as a Billy Goat.

Once the cracks had been routed and blown clean, it was time for the crack sealing to start. Prior to arriving at the job site, the crew had heated their UMCK370DT and filled it with the appropriate crack filling product such as Maxwell 410. This meant that once the preparation steps were complete the material was immediately ready to be dispensed from the UCMK370DT into their multiple DF10W units using the 2' Gravity pour valve at the back of the machine.

Each DF10W holds approximately 10 gallons of rubber that allows the user to maneuver the job site safely and quickly, applying material into the drag shoe that then evenly spreads the product with an overband into the routed cracks.

The final step was for a crew member to walk along all of the sealed cracks with a backpack sprayer, applying a generous spray of Glenzoil to ensure the hot sealant would be safe for traffic both vehicle and pedestrians within 20 minutes of application.
