Yet, invariably, the most economically viable option for clients is to commission Rascor Engineering AG at the design stage with the development of a White Tank waterproof concrete basement solution. Working in tandem with the structural designer and, possibly, the contractor, Rascor Engineering AG will then proceed to draw up an integral structural waterproofing concept. Attention is focused on the project-specific optimization of site operations, rational use of reinforcement and efficient integration of the associated RASCOtec joint units. This optimization process paves the way for an up to 25% cut in construction time, coupled with up to 20% savings in the reinforcement requirement, without in any way compromising the structural stability of the concrete elements.
Rascor Engineering's services specifically comprise the following:
Design phase:
- involvement in design
- clarification of waterproofing-related background and constraints
- development of optimum solutions
- preliminary specification of concrete bays and concrete quality
- preparation of waterproofing-related tender documentation
Prior to the start on site, agreement is reached with regard to the key criteria governing successful implementation:
- construction planning and programming
- appointment of concrete testing body
- performance of preliminary concrete tests
- specification of concrete mixes
- specification of minimum reinforcement requirement (in consultation with structural designer)
- definitive specification of waterproofing-related details
- organization of reporting and inspection/testing procedures
During the production phase, we supervise:
- the agreed works
- concrete placing
- concrete curing measures and striking times
- reporting and inspection/testing procedures
- where necessary, the issue of instructions for remedial measures
After completion, we are responsible for the following:
- handover/acceptance with all project parties
- initiation and supervision of any necessary defects correction
- provision of guarantee
