Waterproofing and water tightness products and technologies for civil engineering and hydraulics, foundations, tunnels, subway stations and underground parking, subways, underground tanks, filled with earth flat roofs,roof gardens, ponds.
OVERVIEW
G&P INTECH has introduced in the market since 1989 several advanced technologies to solve problems of below -grade waterproofing foundations with long life expectation over 100 years. The solutions adopted are active barrier systems, instead of passive barrier systems, able to interact with the fluid and prevent any infiltration at any time during the life of the building.
The system include products like waterproofing membrane DUAL SEAL TS, geomembrane BENTOSIL, geosynthetic clay barrier marked, hydroswelling sealing joints WATERSTOP BZ 100, WATERSTOP BZ 200, IDROSWELL, IMPERGEN R-FLEX, IMPERGEN FLEX TUBE IFT.
The Company production line include osmotic materials for concrete waterproofing like CEMESEAL (water pressure resistant coating) , RAPID PLUG (fast setting hydraulic compound), MACLIM (two-component flexible coating).
The main applications are on below-grade civil engineering constructions, foundations, tunnels, subways, metro stations, underground parkings.
PRODUCTS
Waterproofing membrane DUAL SEAL TS marked CE
Dual Seal TS is a self swelling, self healing sheet waterproofing membrane manufactured to a controlled thickness of 6 mm. It consists of high grade Sodium Bentonite bonded to a sheet of extremely tough High Density Polyethylene HDPE and TNT. This sheet membrane provides a superior waterproofing system offering double security and a totally watertight barrier for application to horizontal and vertical concrete and masonry surfaces.
It is excellent for use on split slab parking, plaza decks, poured and block foundation walls, metro station, tunnel, earth covered roofs.
The main technical characteristics of DUAL SEAL TS marked CE according with EN 13491 are the followings:
| Non woven PP geotextile | 210 g/m² |
| Woven PP geotextile | 110 g/m² |
| Swelling grade bentonite ASTM D 5890-95 | 36 ml/2g |
| Thickness geomembrane EN ISO 9863-1 | 6 mm |

Packaging DUAL SEAL TS is available in rolls:
Type 1: roll 1,2x 5 m (30 rolls per pallet)
Type 2: roll 2,5×20 m
Geomembrane BENTOSIL marked CE
BENTOSIL is a needle-punched geosynthetic clay barrier consisting of a layer of low permeability sodium bentonite supported by two sheets of woven and no-woven polypropylene geotextile. The swelling material is a natural sodium bentonite which has a high grade for swelling (> 26 ml/2g) and a liquid limit value higher than 520%. The connection between the cover and carrier geotextile is achieved by a specific reinforcement system which anable the two geotextiles to be joined by thousands of fibres through the bentonite layer. This gives the barrier a perfect pre-confinement and increases the capability to remain exposed before the final confinement is reached. At the same time the size of bentonite’s particle allows a full saturation of geotextile under hydration and increases the self-seaming of geomembrane on the overlapping area.
The main technical characteristics of Bentosil marked CE according with EN 13491 are the followings:
| Non woven PP geotextile | 220 g/m² |
| Woven PP geotextile | 120 g/m² |

| Static puncture resistance EN ISO 12236 | 2,5 kN |
| Durability EN 13438 | > 25 years |
Packaging BENTOSIL is available in rolls:
Type 1: roll 1,2x 5 m (30 rolls per pallet)
Type 2: roll 2,5×20 m – Type 3: roll 5×40 m
Installation
The high swelling capability of the natural sodium bentonite, combined with mechanical characteristics of geotextile, turn BENTOSIL a reliable product for below-grade waterproofing, even where boundary environmental conditions change (swelling/drying and freezing/thawing cycles) or where there are interacting polluted fluids (remark: for application in contact with high salinity waters please contact Company technical dept.). The installation is simple and fast due to the extreme adaptability of the roll. The system can be applied both in pre-casting and post-casting applications. Overlapping of geomembrane do not require any welding or mechanical intervention.
In vertical applications and where need, BENTOSIL is installed by nail with wide heads and LDPE washers in the overlapping.
Horizontal applications: lay a poor concrete as subbase before applying the roll. In case concrete will not be laid , compact the soil at 85% Modified Proctor, avoid cutting stone and fill holes on the surface. The surfaces have to be free, regular, clean and without standing water. Overlapping will be 15-30 cm according with work and size of roll.
Vertical applications: preparation of surface as above. BENTOSIL has to fixed in the overlapping by nail with wide heads and LDPE washers, approx. 40 cm distance each.
HYDROSWELLING SEALING JOINTS
G&P INTECH has developed several hydroswelling joints used in below grade constructions for the sealing of the vertical and horizontal joints, cracks and fissures.

IMPERGEN FLEX TUBE IFT
IFT is a preventative high mechanical resistant injection tube of 12 mm diameter for the permanent sealing of cold and construction joints in concrete, pipe penetrations and voids between slurry walls and slabs, etc. Where new and old concrete will join an injection tube is installed. When water is infiltrating into the joint, an injection grout is injected through the PVC end pieces, which protrude out of the concrete at easily accessible places. This way the joint is sealed. Preferably, the injection will be executed after curing and setting of the concrete. The leaking joints can thus be permanently sealed. IFT will be installed onto the hardened concrete during formwork installation. In case of rough surfaces, the gap between IFT and the surface should be filled with IDROSWELL mastic. The tuboline IFT is cut to the required length (recommended maximum length is 6 metres). IFT is fixed on the concrete with clips every 25 cm. Overlapping as per drawing.
For the installation and injection with IMPERGEN resin proceed according to the Company recommendations.
