The COLPHENE BSW Tanking System is a high-performance waterproofing solution designed for below-slab, post-applied and blind-side vertical applications in demanding underground conditions. Engineered for high-density construction sites where access and excavation are limited, COLPHENE BSW delivers reliable protection in areas subject to high hydrostatic pressure.
The membrane is manufactured from reinforced, SBS-modified bitumen with an upper surface coated in specialised bonding crystals. When concrete is poured against the membrane, these crystals activate to form an integral chemical and mechanical bond with the structure, preventing both water infiltration and lateral migration between the membrane and the concrete.
Compatible with a wide range of installation methods — including pre-applied loose-laid under-slab systems, blind-side vertical walls, and post-applied torch-on or self-adhesive applications — COLPHENE BSW provides versatility for projects of all scales. The system also includes swellable water stops and a drainage and protection layer placed between the membrane and the earth, enhancing durability and safeguarding the waterproofing during backfilling.
Fully compliant with the New Zealand Building Code and holding a current BRANZ Appraisal, COLPHENE BSW offers the highest quality long-term protection for residential, commercial, and infrastructure structures.
