The most common technique used to join PVC waterproofing sheets.

Welding The Lower Seam Edge
Before the seams are welded, they are tag-welded every 2-3m, which ensures uniform seam overlap, welding is then carried out in two passes, during the first pass the lower seam edge only is welded to prevent the hot air from escaping during the actual welding pass.
