to give a surface laid to fall
i.e. "per ottenere il piano di posa in pendenza"
strange way of doing it though----must be a new product. "Lay to fall" means laying a surface on a slight incline so that water will run down it.

From the Italian, the meaning seems to be that the concrete is level and this product, a waterproofing membrane, creates the fall. But maybe I've misunderstood?

... which was why I originally wrote "strange way of doing it"

or maybe the Italian is just very badly written.

ah- so indeed the Italian is very badly written. I was in fact puzzled as to why anyone would cast a flat slab and then create the fall using a membrane.

Note from asker:
| the meaning is that the first concrete cast mus have a certain incline to allow the application of the waterprofing membrane. Any other suggestion? |
| the surface where the waterproofing membrane will be laid must have a slight incline |
| It is the opposite, it is not the membrane that creates the fall, but the gradient is created by the first concrete casting, can you suggest me a better translation? |
| yes, i was puzzled too.... I have translated it like this: "waterproofing membrane based on polyurethane resins to be applied by thermal spraying, directly to the first concrete casting, that must be laid to fall so as water//// will flow into the drain pipes system" what do you think about it? Is it correct? |
