RIW CPD Technical Seminar

‘Waterproofing at or Below Ground Level - Design Considerations & Guidance’

RIW’s CPD Technical Seminar offers advice to architects and engineers on how to develop a comprehensive and effective waterproofing strategy as part of the specification process for at or below ground-level structures.

This one-hour technical presentation gives an introduction to BS8102 (Code of Practice for the protection of structures against water from the ground) outlining the critical design considerations that influence the form of construction and material selection. It also includes guidance on the most commonly used waterproofing materials, including reference to strengths and weaknesses of the systems, together with application methods and advice on surface preparation.

Since the launch of the new seminar in Summer 2005, RIW Technical Advisors have presented it to over 200 architectural practices across the UK, including Allies & Morrison, Nightingale Associates, Broadway Malyan and Sheppard Robson.
