System and methods for waterproofing a below-grade wall of a structure. The system comprises a waterproof membrane mounted directly or indirectly to an excavation wall within which the wall of the structure is to be constructed. A plurality of elongate waterstops are affixed to the waterproof membrane and arranged to form a plurality of compartments. A plurality of distribution tubes having apertures are affixed to the waterproof membrane to allow an injectable sealing grout to be injected through the distribution tubes and out of the apertures into a corresponding compartment. A plurality of supply tubes are installed in fluid communication with the plurality of distribution tubes with each of the supply tubes extending to a location on the interior of the wall to be constructed.

1. A system for waterproofing a wall of a structure, comprising: a waterproof membrane having a first side and a second side, the waterproof membrane mounted directly or indirectly to an excavation wall within which the wall of the structure is to be constructed with the first side facing away from the excavation wall, and the second side facing toward the excavation wall;a distribution tube having a first portion affixed to the waterproof membrane, the first portion of the distribution tube having at least one aperture configured to allow an injectable sealing grout to be injected through the distribution tube and out of the aperture to a space adjacent the first side of the waterproof membrane; anda supply tube in fluid communication with the distribution tube, the supply tube having a portion extending away from the first side of the waterproof membrane and along a path from a location exterior to the wall to be constructed to a location interior to the wall to be constructed. 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a tube access box coupled to an input end of the supply tube for providing access to the input end of the supply tube to inject a pressurized flow of injectable sealing grout into the supply tube. 3. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a protection layer affixed to the first side of the waterproof membrane and covering substantially all of the first side of the waterproof membrane. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the protection layer comprises a geotextile matt. 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of elongate waterstops affixed to the first side of the waterproof membrane, the waterstops arranged on the waterproof membrane to form a plurality of compartments. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the waterstops each have a base for attachment to the first side of the waterproof membrane and a web portion extending to a top portion. 7. The system of claim 5, wherein the waterstops have a layer of water-expandable material applied along substantially the entire length of the top portion of the waterstops. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the water expandable material comprises bentonite. 9. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a drain board mounted to the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall with an outside surface of the drain board facing toward the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall and an inside surface facing toward the location of the wall to be constructed;a base drain mounted to the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall, the base drain affixed below the drain board such that fluid draining down the drain board is collected by the base drain, the base drain having an outside surface facing toward the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall and an inside surface facing toward the wall to be constructed;a backing layer affixed to the inside surface of the drain board and base drain; anda plurality of induction discs having a conductive element and a bonding surface coated with an adhesive, the induction discs affixed to an inside surface of the backing layer such that the bonding surface and adhesive are adjacent the second side of the waterproof membrane;wherein the waterproof membrane is affixed to the excavation wall or the shoring supporting the excavation wall by the waterproof membrane having been inductively-welded to the induction discs. 10. A method for waterproofing a wall of a structure, comprising: mounting a waterproof membrane having a first side and a second side directly or indirectly to an excavation wall within which the wall of the structure is to be constructed with the first side facing away from the excavation wall, and the second side facing in the direction of the excavation wall;affixing a distribution tube to the waterproof membrane, the distribution tube having a first portion affixed to the waterproof membrane, the first portion of the distribution tube having a plurality of apertures to allow an injectable sealing grout to be injected through the distribution tube and out of the apertures into a space adjacent the first side of the waterproof membrane; andinstalling a supply tube in fluid communication with the distribution tube. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: installing a tube access box, the tube access box coupled to an input end of the supply tube for providing access to the input end of the supply tube to inject a pressurized flow of injectable sealing grout into the supply tube. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising: affixing a protection layer to the first side of the waterproof membrane, the protection layer covering substantially all of the first side of the waterproof membrane. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the protection layer comprises a geotextile matt. 14. The method of claim 10, further comprising: affixing a plurality of elongate waterstops to the first side of the waterproof membrane, the waterstops arranged on the waterproof membrane to form a plurality of compartments. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the waterstops each have a base for attachment to the first side of the waterproof membrane and a web portion extending to a top portion. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the waterstops have a layer of water expandable material applied along substantially the entire length of the top portion of the waterstops. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the water expandable material comprises bentonite. 18. The method of claim 10, further comprising: mounting a drain board to the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall with an outside surface of the drain board facing toward the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall and an inside surface facing toward the wall to be constructed;mounting a base drain to the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall, the base drain affixed below the drain board such that fluid draining down the drain board is collected by the base drain, the base drain having an outside surface facing toward the excavation wall or shoring supporting the excavation wall and an inside surface facing toward the wall to be constructed;affixing a backing layer to the inside surface of the drain board and base drain;installing a plurality of induction discs having a conductive element and a bonding surface coated with an adhesive on an inside surface of the backing layer such that the bonding surface and adhesive are adjacent the second side of the waterproof membrane; andwherein the waterproof membrane is mounted indirectly to the excavation wall by inductively welding the waterproof membrane to the induction discs. 19. The method of claim 10, wherein the supply tube extends from a location exterior to the wall to be constructed to a location interior to the wall to be constructed. 20. A system for waterproofing a wall of a structure, comprising: a waterproof membrane having a first side and a second side, the waterproof membrane mounted directly or indirectly to an excavation wall within which the wall of the structure is to be constructed with the first side facing away from the excavation wall, and the second side facing toward the excavation wall; anda plurality of elongate waterstops affixed to the first side of the waterproof membrane, the waterstops arranged on the waterproof membrane to form a plurality of compartments.
