Explanatory information
The intent of requiring the barrier to have a high resistance to damage during construction is to increase the barrier’s ability to resist punctures during construction. By being less susceptible to puncturing, the barrier will provide increased protection against moisture containing dissolved salts from coming into contact with the concrete slab.
