Waterproofing Below Ground Structures And Basements

VENUE: Hogs Back Hotel, near Farnham GU10 1EX
DATE: Wednesday 11 March 2020
TIME: 1.50pm to 5.10pm

Structural waterproofing is the term that describes methods
used to prevent groundwater entering building structures that
are below ground. Waterproofing is required when building new
underground structure or refurbishing an existing basement to
provide a usable or habitable space. Waterproofing and drainage
is important and required where groundwater is likely to build up
in the soil and cause hydrostatic pressure (ground water under
pressure) to be exerted on the walls and floors of the basement
structure. Surveyors must be aware of all types of structural
waterproofing systems, British Standard BS8102: 2009, and
the design, planning and installation stages of any structural
waterproofing projects below ground.

The learning outcomes of this course provide an understanding of:
• structural waterproofing
• BS8102: 2009 “Code of practice for protection of below ground
structures against water from the ground”
• site risk assessment
• robust waterproofing design
• structural waterproofing systems
• methods of waterproofing and water management
• relevant guidance
