• The structure and its elements must be capable of withstanding the developed water pressure and other anticipated loadings without cracking or delaminating
• Advice should be sought from independently qualified personnel with knowledge of the structure and local ground conditions
• Never score or scratch any of the render coats to provide a key
• Do not use gypsum based plaster over Sika 1 Mortar Waterproofing System. Refer to plaster manufacturer for advice on suitability of product for use in waterproofing works
