PREPRUFE® Tieback Cover

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.

Physical Properties for ABS Base

^{* Concrete is cast against the protective coating surface of the membrane cover and allowed to properly cure (7 days minimum). Peel adhesion of membrane cover to concrete is measured at a rate of 2 in. (50 mm) per minute at room temperature.}

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).

^{Note: Remove release liner prior to installation.}
