PASSION THAT HAS
PRESERVED FOR OVER
40 YEARS
Stirling Lloyd is at the forefront of technological
developments in the world of construction and civil
engineering.
Established over 40 years ago with a single-minded
commitment to developing new and more effective
ways to extend the life of structures, Stirling Lloyd has
become a global leader in the development, manufacture
and applications of waterproofng and structural protec-
tion membranes and systems.
With a truly global reach Stirling Lloyd has a worldwide
network of offces, associates and authorised contractors
that allows us to provide a complete solution, ensuring
the success of our projects around the world.
THE DRIVE FOR CHANGE
Since the 1970s Stirling Lloyd has been protecting
the worlds principal infrastructure assets using unique
seamless waterproofng techniques. These techniques,
based on our advanced sprayed resin technology, have
been developed to address the complexities of tunnel
construction and the challenges that these environments
pose for materials.
Stirling Lloyds range of tunnel waterproofng
membranes more than meets the demands of these
complexities, providing long lasting, 100% effective
protection for these important structures.
As industry standards become ever more demanding
our research teams continue to shape the future of
structural protection - setting the performance
benchmarks for tomorrow and ensuring that Stirling
Lloyd systems continue to protect the worlds most
important structures.

STIRLING LLOYD
TUNNEL WATERPROOFING
SOLUTIONS
SEAMLESS TECHNOLOGY
Eliminating Leaking Seams
Seams and joints in sheet
waterproofng systems however
well they have been welded are
potential weak points creating a risk
of failure. Stirling Lloyds liquid spray
applied systems provide a continuous
membrane, eliminating the risk of
waterproofng failure.
TESTING
Ensuring 100% Effective Protection
Confrming the integrity of an
applied tunnel waterproofng system
can be a challenge. Often leaks are
only discovered once it is too late to
rectify them.
Testing the waterproofng system
before encapsulation or immersion
using a non-destructive and
reliable method, proving that the
waterproofng is 100% effective,
is essential. As part of our unique
on-site quality programme all our
membranes are subject to electronic
integrity testing in-situ that confrms
complete waterproofng has been
achieved.
RAPID INSTALLATION
Substantially Reducing Build Times
Liquid, seamless application
eradicates the need for time
consuming complex detailing,
which together with the use of high
output spray equipment and the
materials fast cure, ensures rapid
application, facilitating contract
progression. In tunnels of NATM/
SEM/SCL design, Integritank HF
enables the use of sprayed concrete
for the secondary lining, which
dramatically reduces build times,
while on refurbishment projects -our
membranes rapid installation and one
hour cure time provides a fast return
to service with less disruption to
tunnel users.
THE COMPOSITE EFFECT
Dramatically Reducing Costs
In tunnels of NATM/SEM/SCL design
the use of Integritank HF can further
reduce costs. Other waterproofng
systems do not allow the primary
concrete lining to be considered as
a structural element. The high bond
strength of Integritank HF to the
primary and secondary concrete
linings facilitates a composite action,
resulting in a dramatic reduction in
the quantity of concrete required,
excavation needed, spoil generated,
environmental impact and cost.
It is estimated that the construction
costs of the waterproofng and
secondary lining may be reduced
by up to 30% due to this composite
effect.
CRACK BRIDGING
Preventing Future Leaks
All new concrete suffers from some
degree of cracking, with bored
tunnels being particularly at risk
from ground squeeze and drying
shrinkage. Infexible waterproofng
that is bonded to the concrete will
crack, as the concrete moves and
cracks resulting in an ineffective
system and a leaking tunnel.
Stirling Lloyds tunnel waterproofng
solutions have excellent crack
bridging capabilities and so retain
their integrity even if the concrete
suffers cracking.
TWO COAT MEMBRANES
Complete Coverage
Stirling Lloyd always use two coat
systems for tunnel waterproofng.
The coats are applied in contrasting
colours to allow for visual coverage
checking prior to formal thickness
tests, ensuring that all areas are
appropriately covered. The two coat
application gives the confdence
that in the unlikely event a minor
defect occurs in the frst coat it will
be rectifed by the application of the
second coat.
ROBUST AND DURABLE
Withstanding Site Challenges
Any tunnel waterproofng membrane
must be robust; site traffc, steel
fxing, concrete placement and high
levels of water pressure all present
on-site challenges. Stirling Lloyds
systems are engineered for long term
durability, making them ideal for
immersion, burial and covering by
a sprayed secondary lining.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Expert Worldwide Assistance
With over 40 years experience within
the construction and civil engineering
industries Stirling Lloyds technical
expertise is unsurpassed. Throughout
the whole construction process, from
initial design and planning through
to project completion, Stirling Lloyd
provides technical support globally;
essential when changing site
conditions or unforeseen challenges
need to be addressed.
With assistance available by
telephone, online and on site, Stirling
Lloyd is your global waterproofng
partner.
Immersed Tube and Cut and Cover Tunnels are
subjected to a wide range of harsh environments and
chemicals, so effectively protecting these important
assets is essential.
Integritank is a spray applied, fully reactive elastomeric
system based on time proven advanced Methyl
Methacrylate (MMA) technology which:
Provides a 100% effective, watertight membrane
Is proven watertight prior to burial
Achieves a strong, intimate bond to the concrete
Has a rapid application and cure
Is robust enough to withstand placement of backfll
without protection
Is seamless
Has a service life to match the 100+ year design life
of a tunnel
Has excellent crack bridging capabilities

CONSTRUCTION
METHODS
Various systems have been used to attempt to
waterproof tunnels constructed using these methods,
but few have successfully addressed the particular
challenges presented.
The development of the Integritank HF system has
taken this uncertainty out of waterproofng bored
tunnels. Integritank HF is based on advanced resin
technologies developed specifcally for use in the
confned spaces and conditions of a tunnel construction
environment and for application between primary and
secondary concrete linings.
It is a robust, spray applied system, which forms a
seamless, intimate bond with the concrete so water
cannot penetrate through the membrane and circulate
behind it. Once the membrane has been applied, prior
to encapsulation it is tested using a non-destructive
electrical integrity test; proving it is 100% waterproof.
Integritank HF system is a spray applied waterproofng
membrane based on advanced resin technology which:
Provides a 100% effective, watertight membrane
Is proven watertight prior to encapsulation
Achieves a strong bond to the primary lining
Has a rapid and reliable 360 coverage
Is robust enough to withstand application of
shotcrete
Waterproof to >100 bar pressure
Is safe for use in confned spaces
Makes detailing simple
Eliminates weak and vulnerable seams
Has a service life to match the 100+ year design
life of a tunnel
Has excellent in-situ crack bridging capabilities

ELIMINATOR
Where suspended decks form the roadway or rail track
within a tunnel, the chosen waterproofng system has to
do more than protect the concrete slab from corrosion.
On a roadway it must also provide a suffciently strong
bond with both the substrate and the surfacing to
ensure the heavy braking forces of the traffc do not
cause the asphalt to deform and subsequently break
up. This requirement is even more critical in tunnels
as there is usually a much-restricted thickness of
asphalt, making the shear forces exerted even greater.
In addition, the system must be tough and resilient
enough to withstand the high temperatures and physical
pressure exerted by the asphalt application.
Eliminator is a high performance waterproofng system
which has been used throughout the world, which:
Provides a 100% effective, watertight membrane
Is proven through electrical integrity testing
Achieves a strong bond to both the concrete and
asphalt
Has a rapid application and cure
Is highly resistant to various aggressive chemicals
Is seamless
Can withstand application of surfacing or ballast
Has excellent crack bridging capabilities
