🔨 Elevating Waterproofing Standards: The Role of Concrete Surface Profiles (CSP) Concrete Surface Profiles (CSP) are a game-changer in ensuring the effectiveness and longevity of waterproof membranes. In recent discussions with industry experts like Jerry Tyrrell and Sam Parker, it's clear that adopting CSP scales across Australia is crucial for achieving consistent and reliable substrate preparation. 👉 What is CSP? CSP measures the texture of a concrete surface, ranging from 1 (smooth) to 9 (rough). The right CSP, typically 3 to 4, provides the ideal surface for membrane adhesion, ensuring your waterproofing solution performs as it should. 💡 Why Does This Matter? Referenced in the upcoming Australian Standard 3958:2023, Table 4.1.3(b), and highlighted in the soon-to-be-released Master Builders Association of New South Wales Waterproofing Technical Guide, CSP is becoming a vital part of our industry’s language. It’s time we all get familiar with it! 📚 In My University of Technology Sydney Lecture last week, I showcased CSP samples to my students, emphasising their importance in practical applications. Curious about these samples? Check them out here. https://lnkd.in/g34NJgbV

TMT bar plays a vital role in the construction of fortified structures. Hence, selecting the best quality TMT bar is very crucial. The top-quality rebars will ensure your home lasts longer and stands tall through all wear, tear, and natural calamities. In order to check for the quality of the TMT bars and ensure they are of the highest standards, we at Goel TMT conduct stringent testing. One such important test is the ring test: The ring test is performed to test the steel bars by dipping their end into an acid bath for a specific amount of time. Two circles are seen when the end is removed, showing the outer surface as a distinct layer from the inner core. This test confirms that the steel bar has been through the crucial quenching process and thermex process to obtain reproducible and reliable results and a 2-level acceptance criterion is met for further incorporation in the standard specifications.

CFS’s high strength-to-weight ratio allows for enhanced load-bearing capacity. An 8-foot 3-5/8 inch, 12-gauge cold-formed steel (CFS) stud supports 8,000 pounds, far exceeding an 8-foot 2×4 wood stud’s 2,500 pounds. This means you can construct lighter yet stronger buildings. #ColdFormedSteel #CFS #StrongerStraighterBetter #MultifamilyConstruction #HospitalityConstruction

How to get the result you actually require in basement waterproofing? What is BS8102:2022 and what does it mean for us? Answers here! - join me on this one coming up on the 9th Oct https://lnkd.in/g9D8ht7Z

Pave Ahead, an initiative of the NRMCA to promote the use of concrete products for pavement due to their safety, resilience, and long-term value, has released a new flyer on Fiber-Reinforced Concrete. This one-pager introduces the basics of fiber-reinforced #concrete (FRC) and provides guidelines for the mixing and placing of FRC. Fiber reinforcement can control plastic shrinkage cracking & drying shrinkage cracking and improve concrete’s resistance to tensile stresses & deterioration due to fatigue and/or impact.

A question for roofers. We know very well that the world is changing, especially in roofing. I wanted to know... What do you think about the following article?👇 " -Huntsman Building Solutions (HBS) introduces Ultralok, its all-new spray foam roofing system. Ultralok closed cell spray polyurethane foam roofing is a 2.8-pound solution designed to deliver a high-performance, fully adhered roofing system that insulates, waterproofs, and protects over various roof deck substrates in one easy step." Do you think it is a good idea to start implementing these developments?

Triflex waterproofing solutions for complex structures - Flexible use to meet the most stringent requirements. There are structural conditions that are hard to access and make it harder to apply fleece-reinforced waterproofing systems. In such cases, a fibre-reinforced, liquid-applied waterproofing solution which requires noextra reinforcing with fleece is ideal. This roof waterproofing system can be applied at low temperatures, adheresto all conventional substrates and is particularly suitable for details. https://bit.ly/3dV2M6P
