The RASCOtank System – Below Ground Waterproofing

RASCOtank

Are you worried about water penetration in your below-ground structure such as a basement? Worry no more! Our RASCOtank system is here to offer you an effective waterproofing solution for both new construction and renovation projects. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits and features of the RASCOtank system and how it can benefit your project.

What is the RASCOtank System?

The RASCOtank system is a type B waterproofing solution designed to prevent water from penetrating the walls and floor of below-ground structures such as basements. This integrated waterproofing system is built into the structure’s design and spacing of joints, allowing for shrinkage and shrinkage crack control, concrete placement, and curing. The strategically placed RASCOR Injection Channel is then injected with the RASCOtec grouting system when the concrete has hardened to achieve a total water-resistant structure.

Advantages of the RASCOtank System

The RASCOtank system is known for its durability, reliability, and effectiveness in preventing water infiltration. One of the main advantages of this system is the ability to increase pour sizes from 200m3 to 1000m3 per day on projects, making it an ideal solution for large-scale construction projects. Additionally, the system is designed to be flexible, allowing it to adjust to the structural requirements of the project, which ensures the longevity of the structure.

Why choose the RASCOtank System?

Choosing the RASCOtank system for your below-ground waterproofing needs has numerous benefits. First and foremost, it offers a long-term solution that provides protection against water infiltration for the life of the structure. The system is also designed to be cost-effective, saving you money in the long run. Additionally, the RASCOtank system is a popular choice for construction projects due to its flexibility and ability to be adjusted to meet the structural requirements of the project.

Lost Property

Lost Property

In the centre of London’s Mayfair, Claridge’s embodies grand English style, timeless glamour and impeccable, intuitive and highly tailored service. 

Completion 2022

St Pauls,

London, England

8 floors

145 bedroom

Contactor : McAleer & Rushe

Summary

RASCOR is proud to contribute to the transformation of the existing building at Creed Court now known as ‘The Lost Property’. The hotel is located facing Ludgate Hill – leading up to St. Paul’s Cathedral which have narrow one-way streets. The construction consisted of several basements level and 6-storey above ground. The works included excavation of double level basement and a redevelopment of the office building into a 145 bed hotel which will include a bar & restaurant , gym facilities and internal courtyard

In order to deliver a reliable, watertight solution for this project, RASCOR worked closely with McAleer & Rushe to provide a complete design,supply and installation in the double basement. To achieve a Grade 3 basement / sub basement, required two types of waterproofing RASCOR used its RASCOtank Type B – structurally integral protection and Type C – drained protection.

For this project, we tasked our design team to come with the best waterproofing strategy to protect this prestigious structure from water ingress.

In this project ,we encountered a high water table level and significant temporary works.

Secant piles were installed around the perimeter of the site between the existing piles. The new sub basement and lower ground floor were constructed inside the piled walls on all sides lined with a water-excluding RASCOtank external type B system and propped at the ground floor and basement levels by the reinforced concrete construction.
The Primary solution for waterproofing this structure was the RASCOtank system which are cast and set during concreting to control crack shrinkage and subsequent injected with acrylic grout which will guarantee prevention of any water ingress from entering the structure.

Our secondary line of defense provided for our Grade 3 area was achieved by using the Newton CDM System cavity drain membrane waterproofing, which will capture, depressurize and remove any ingress ground water via a series of Trojan-Pro pump.
The same two products were also used alongside the flexible 107F liquid membrane and 106 FlexProof for construction on joint waterproofing in areas where the existing brick structure interfaces with a new concrete slab. Finally, Titan-Pro pump chambers are being installed to remove the water.

Completion date for the Hotel is Spring 2022 with RASCOtank waterproofing installation finalized early 2021 to bespoke specification.

From RASCORS’s In-house design engineering
team to RASCORS site operation team delivering an exceptional quality assurance , manufacture, design service and the installation of our products.
The Hotel will open to the public in Spring 2022 and will feature a charming little restaurant , a Bar , Coffee House and 145 bedrooms in the surroundings of some of London most visited tourist attractions and corporate financial services head offices. The Interior design
includes classic features and rich tones to complement the facade and immediate vicinity.
Each room is influenced by eclectic artwork and contemporary design touches.
RASCOR are proud be part of this exciting and prestigious project, providing proper planning
to ensure a dry basement / sub basement area.

Claridges Hotel London

Claridges - Mayfair hotel

Claridges Hotel London

In the centre of London’s Mayfair, Claridge’s embodies grand English style, timeless glamour and impeccable, intuitive and highly tailored service. 

Completion 2022

London, England

12 floors

203 bedroom

Contactor : McGees

One of the most spectacular makeover in Claridge’s History. The Landmark Mayfair Hotel dug 33m beneath Brook Street to create the most glamorous basement extension in the world. The owners wanted to enhance its service offering and create a space for a spa, swimming pool and cinema to be created deep into the grounds all while the hotel continued with its daily operations. 

Originally, the expansion plan was a more modest two story basement conversion, however when plans finally emerged the concept had changed dramatically to the current five story basement. In order to deliver a reliable, watertight solution for this project, RASCOR worked closely with the McGee Group to provide a bespoke design, supply and installation in the basement area. Taking into consideration the close proximity of the underground river Ty burn.

Projects like Claridges need to remain sympathetic to the existing architecture of the building and surrounding areas. From our design team to site operatives the Rascor team remained functional to cause as little disruption as possible.

Secant piles were installed around the perimeter of the site between the existing piles. The new sub basement and lower ground floor were constructed inside the piled walls on all sides lined with a water-excluding RASCOtank external type B system and propped at the ground floor and basement levels by the reinforced concrete construction.
The Primary solution for waterproofing this structure was the RASCOtank system which are cast and set during concreting to control crack shrinkage and subsequent injected with acrylic grout which will guarantee prevention of any water ingress from entering the structure.

For more than a century, Claridge’s has preserved it’s unique heritage adding modern flourishes throughout it’s lifetime. In an incredible feet of engineering, we are proud to support McGee as they undertook this project to create new space for Claridges renowned guests.
As the city grows, it creates pressures to expand and renovate historical structures. The project at Claridge’s shows, completing work in a living, breathing city can cause fascinating challenges and inventive solutions.
