Abstract:
A negative-side waterproof shell (W-shell) is retrofitted onto a below ground preexisting building subject to water intrusion. The W-shell includes a high density polyethylene (HDPE) membrane adhered to the building's sidewalls and floor. The HDPE membrane has a metal core (usually aluminum). The W-shell includes a concrete shell formed on an inboard side of the HDPE membrane. Typically, the W-shell's concrete typically includes rebar and supplemental vertical columns which are thicker than the W-shell. The HDPE membrane has overlapped seams at the vertical to horizontal transition regions. The core may be non-continuous, in strips, or may be ferrous or non-ferrous metals, alloys or aluminum alloys. The W-shell covers the building's interior concrete-formed structures. To seal high tide salt water intrusion, the W-shell extends above the high tide water line. Also, drain piping, leading to a sump, may be laid between the membrane and the floor.

Claim (Index 12):
A negative-side waterproof shell for a preexisting building structure subject to high tide salt water intrusion through sidewalls and floor of said preexisting building structure, said preexisting building structure being subject to tidal salt water intrusion only during high tide periods, the negative-side waterproof shell comprising:\n an adhesive adhering a high density polyethylene (HDPE) membrane on said vertical sidewalls and said floor subject to said high tide salt water intrusion, said HDPE membrane having a metal core; and a concrete shell formed on an inboard side of said HDPE membrane.
