Whether it is renovating or constructing a structure below ground level, a waterproofing expert should be involved in the process of designing the system.
Our specialists get involved with architects, surveyors, contractors, and engineers to provide a robust system in line with the British Standard 8102:2009 Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water from the Ground.
BS8102:2009 suggests that the Waterproofing Design Specialist should have knowledge of:
- Waterproofing systems
- An in-depth understanding of the requirements of BS 8102
- Sufficient structural knowledge
- Knowledge on sources of water and how it flows through soil and interacts with the structure
- Sufficient geotechnical knowledge to be able to understand the implications of a soil report, and to discourse meaningfully with the geotechnical engineer.
