Below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and having improved low reflectivity granular particle layer to fully bond to concrete/shotcrete, and a method of making, and using same

A method of forming a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and low reflectivity granular particle layer to fully bond to concrete/shotcrete, comprising the steps of:

• (a) taking at least one sheet membrane having a first membrane surface, and a second membrane surface;
• (b) applying at least one first adhesive layer having a first adhesive surface, and a second adhesive surface, onto said at least one sheet membrane, and wherein said second adhesive surface is in secure contact with at least a portion of said first membrane surface;
• and
• (c) applying at least one layer of at least one low reflectivity granular particle layer, having a first particle layer surface, and a second particle layer surface, over at least a portion of said at least one first adhesive layer, and wherein said second particle layer surface is in secure contact with at least a portion of said first adhesive surface, and wherein reflectivity of said at least one layer of at least one low reflectivity granular particle layer is below 55 percent reflectivity.
