BP1 is a buried joint, incorporating polyethylene, which is placed into the air gap flush with the concrete surface. The deck is then primed using PMCS/01 and over the joint area. The whole area is then sprayed with PmB 2mm nominal thickness waterproofing layer. Within 4 hours the 300mm overlay is sprayed on top of the existing 2mm waterproofing layer finally installing a saw cut to surface.
