The works involved carrying out the following:

- Installing injection no return valve packers
- Placing MC injekt Gl 95 TX thixotropic elastomer gel injection system
- Removing the injection packers and temporary plugging mortar
- Breaking out a 250mm recess within the concrete slab to recess the final waterproofing detail
- Installing sika combiflex 200mm wide x 2mm thick to the waterproofed joint
- Installing an epoxy repair mortar over the recessed joint to protect the joint from foot traffic and vehicle traffic
