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

A below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and high reflectivity granular particle layer to fully bond to concrete/shotcrete, comprising:

• (a) at least one sheet membrane having a first membrane surface, and a second membrane surface;
• (b) at least one first adhesive layer having a first adhesive surface, and a second adhesive surface, and wherein said second adhesive surface is in secure contact with at least a portion of said first membrane surface;
• and
• (c) at least one layer of at least one high reflectivity granular particle layer, having a first particle layer surface, and a second particle layer surface, 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 high reflectivity granular particle layer is between about 45 percent reflectivity, to about 80 percent reflectivity.

A method of forming a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and high 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 high 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 high reflectivity granular particle layer is between about 45 percent reflectivity, to about 80 percent reflectivity.
