CPD: Achieving Continuity in Concrete Waterproofing to the New British Standard 8102:2022
Newton Waterproofing Systems (John Newton & Company)
Type B waterproofing is the predominant form of water resistance where the structure itself is designed and constructed to be integrally waterproof. As an essential form of waterproofing protection, this CPD considers the most relevant points to consider in waterproofing a concrete structure.
This includes: the guidance and requirements offered by BS 8102:2009, the ‘Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water From the Ground’ for Type B waterproofing; how to ensure that your below-ground structure is watertight, using some of the predominant waterproofing products available in the UK; and the techniques and aspects to pay attention to in order to maintain the continuity of your Type B waterproofing. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- How to distinguish between 'Type B' waterproofing and other forms of waterproofing
- Recommendations given by BS 8102:2009 regarding Type B waterproofing
- What the predominant types of Type B waterproofing products in the UK are
- How to maintain continuity between your waterproofing elements
- How best to protect against potentially costly and damaging waterproofing failures
This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.
