PREPRUFE® Tieback Cover Data Sheet

View Sustainability Certifications: Cover 6", Cover 8"

Product Description

The PREPRUFE® Tieback Cover is a specially designed, two-part cover used to maintain waterproofing integrity at soil retention tieback heads. The PREPRUFE® Tieback Cover consists of a base and cover, and is assembled on site to provide a simple and quick waterproofing detailing aid used with the PREPRUFE® system. A prefabricated, rigid ABS plastic base provides the strength and durability needed to withstand the pressure created by concrete placement. The prefabricated PREPRUFE® membrane cover ensures continuity of the advanced bond technology for the PREPRUFE® System.

Uses

The PREPRUFE® Tieback Cover can be installed over cable and rod type tieback heads. The base is mechanically fastened to the soil retention system and the cover is positioned over the base and integrated to the field membrane with PREPRUFE® Tape providing a continuous PREPRUFE® system for these difficult to detail areas.

Product Advantages

  • Prevents water migration by forming a unique continuous adhesive bond to concrete
  • Fully-adhered watertight laps using PREPRUFE® Tape
  • Simple and quick to install
  • Easy to inspect
  • Unaffected by wet conditions
  • Unaffected by freeze/thaw and wet/dry cycling
  • Unique shape allows easier concrete consolidation

Installation

  • Install PREPRUFE® Membrane within 2 in. (50 mm) of tieback as per standard installation instructions.
  • Center the base over tieback and secure base to soil retention system using appropriate fasteners. Fasteners should have a low profile head.
  • Apply PREPRUFE® Tape centered over the edge of the base flange and roll firmly to form a tight seal. Remove release liner and discard.
  • Position the membrane cover over the base taking care to ensure the cover flange sits flat onto the PREPRUFE® Membrane.
  • Apply PREPRUFE® Tape centered over the edge of the cover flange and roll firmly to form a tight seal. Remove release liner and discard.
  • PREPRUFE® Tape should overlap onto surfaces of tape, membrane, base, cover, etc. a minimum of 2 in. (50 mm).
