Newton Waterproofing chosen for a new Community Centre in North London

HSP Architects and Price Myers were brought on to transform a listed commercial basement in Temple Fortune, North London, into a new community centre, and worked alongside Newton Specialist Contractor Arti Construction to perform the waterproofing.

The basement is part of a four-storey listed building that was built into a hillside, with three of the walls either fully or partially below-ground and suffering from water penetration. Arti Construction worked with the design team at an early stage to design a waterproofing solution.

As with any existing listed basement, Arti Construction were quick to recommend a Type C cavity drain waterproofing solution in the form of the Newton CDM System. A safe and reliable form of waterproofing, Type C waterproofing delivers a completely dry internal space, whilst also causing minimum amount of disruption to the Listed structure.

Once the structure was fully prepared, Arti could then proceed with installing a full cavity drain waterproofing system. Newton 508 was installed to the walls with minimal MultiPlug fixings to the walls and floors to capture the ingressing water. Water is directed via Newton Basedrain channels to a Titan-Pro sump chamber, for removal by dual NP400 clean water pumps.

The complex basement space included existing columns, windows and an internal staircase which all needed to be factored into the waterproofing design.

Arti Construction completed the 280m2 installation in just one week, within budget, delivering a reliable Type C structural waterproofing system that is also compliant with British Standard 8102:2009.

Lucian Ardeleanu, Managing Director of Arti Construction, commented: “We were extremely pleased to get involved at an early stage as a key member of the design team working alongside HSP Architects and Price & Myers on delivering this important new centre in Temple Fortune. Our company approach is built around delivering perfection and reliability for our clients, so working with newton and using their high-quality products ensures that we can do this.
