          B.Roll out drainage composite system material with the geotextile filter fabric side down, directly on the subgrade or concrete working slab, covering entire area as directed by construction documents.
 
          C.Butt adjacent panels and lap geotextile fabric. Use a butyl tape or duct tape to seal the plastic panel joints (sealing the laps is not required if waterproofing is installed on top of the Mapedrain).
 
          3.5BACKFILL FOUNDATION WALL INSTALLATION - GENERAL
 
          A.At the base of the wall, place Mapedrain TD foundation drain horizontally oriented standing up tight to wall with the dimple side facing out over the previously installed MAPEI waterproofing system.
          1.To install Mapedrain over Mapeproof bentonite geotextile composite waterproofing, use fasteners compatible with the substrate and 1 inch washers approximately 24 inches (60 cm) on center to secure Mapedrain TD.
          2.To install Mapedrain over Mapethene self-adhered sheet waterproofing, use Mapebond 740 Aerosol Spray Adhesive to secure Mapedrain TD.
          3.Use Mapedrain TD accessory fittings, as required, to form a continuous installation. Install Mapedrain TD discharge outlet fittings to connect to discharge pipes as required for the project.
 
          B.Install the bottom course of Mapedrain drainage composite (flat plastic core side against the wall/waterproofing) with the Mapedrain bottom core edge in contact with top core edge of Mapedrain TD. Secure extra fabric flap of Mapedrain extending down the top front edge of Mapedrain TD to prevent the passage of soil into the core at the connection.
          1.To install Mapedrain over Mapeproof bentonite geotextile composite waterproofing, use fasteners compatible with the substrate and 1 inch washers approximately 24 inches (60 cm) on center to secure Mapedrain.
          2.To install Mapedrain over Mapethene self-adhered sheet waterproofing, use Mapebond 740 Aerosol Spray Adhesive to secure Mapedrain.
 
          C.Install subsequent courses of Mapedrain drainage composite to the top termination edge of waterproofing or grade. Tightly abut adjoining drainage composite core edges together and secure the extra fabric flaps over the front of adjacent roll edges, to prevent soil from entering the drainage composite. Where drainage composite panels are installed overlapped, the bottom edge of higher course shall be installed to the outside of the lower course; shingle style to shed water.

Install Mapedrain TD Side or End Outlet Fittings to connect with discharge pipes as required for the project.
 
          B.Install the bottom course of Mapedrain drainage composite (geotextile side against the lagging wall) with the bottom edge fabric flap tucked behind the top edge of the Mapedrain TD and against the lagging to prevent the passage of soil into the core at the connection. The bottom edge of the Mapedrain core shall be in contact with top edge of Mapedrain TD.
 
          C.Install subsequent courses of Mapedrain to within 4 inches to 6 inches of finished grade or as shown on the construction documents. Tightly abut adjoining sheet drain core edges and tuck the extra fabric flaps behind the adjacent roll edge to prevent soil from entering the core. Secure sheet drain to lagging wall with fasteners compatible with the substrate and 1 inch washers. Where drainage sheet panels are installed overlapped, bottom edge of higher course shall be installed to the outside of the lower course, to shed water like a roof shingle.
 
          D.Prior to installing drainage composite near grade, install 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick cementitious wall board centered over metal soldier pile from finished grade elevation to specified depth of soldier pile removal. Cementitious wall board will protect the Mapedrain drainage composite when the top of the soldier piles are excavated and removed. Remove cementitious board with removal of soldier pile top and lagging boards.
 
          E.Around penetrations and tie-back heads, cut Mapedrain drainage composite to fit and wrap extra filter fabric around open core edge to prevent soil from entering core.
 
          F.At the top of the sheet drain installation, wrap the filter fabric flap behind the exposed top core edge to prevent intrusion of soil into the core and secure sheet drain to wall with termination bar fastened 12 inches (30 cm) on center with the fabric wrapped.
 
          3.7BACKFILL/OVERBURDEN
 
          A.Install backfill or overburden as soon as possible according to project requirements. Use care during backfill operation to avoid damage to pre-fabricated drainage composite system.

          3.8CLEAN UP
 
          A.In areas where adjacent finished surfaces or work are contaminated by drainage composite material, immediately notify General Contractor and trade responsible for area. Consult manufacturer of surfaces for cleaning advice and conform to their recommendations and instructions. Remove all tools, equipment and remaining product on-site. Dispose of debris and damaged product in accordance with applicable regulations.
 
          B.Maintain work area in a neat and workmanlike condition. Remove empty cartons and rubbish from site daily.
