Wrimco SBS waterproof membrane being torch applied to unusually complex retaining walls with several projections and height steps. The operator is unrolling the Wrimco SBS upwards as he torches the surface so the "hot melt" then adheres the 3mm sheet to the blockwork wall.
The membrane being torched as a vertical strip in the corner. The "no nails" PACTIV 6.4mm PB4 protection board will be subsequently spot torched to the waterproof membrane.
