Includes an overview of the modern methods available for protecting below ground structures from water, as well as an explanation of the updates to the new 2022 version of the British Standard for waterproofing. We will also cover:

• The different forms of structural waterproofing systems in the market and how to achieve the environmental grades outlined within British Standard 8102:2022
• A focus on how combination waterproofing systems are specified in below-ground structures in order to achieve the desired environment

This RIBA approved CPD consists of a 45-minute presentation plus Q&A and can be presented either at your offices, virtually, or at Newton’s training facilities in Tonbridge and Leeds.

Please contact us with suitable dates.

About the Seminar

The seminar provides an overview of the Type C (drained) waterproofing design requirements in accordance with current UK legislation and standards, including:

• Updates to British Standard 8102:2022
• The ‘Types’ of systems available and ‘Levels’ of waterproofing protection
• An overview of the evolution of cavity drain (Type C) waterproofing systems and the design considerations
• Managing water ingress with a cavity drain system
• The benefits and importance of a professional installation

Our RIBA approved CPD focusing on Type B waterproofing consists of a 45-minute presentation plus a Q&A either at your offices, virtually, or at Newton’s dedicated training facilities in Tonbridge and Leeds.

Please contact us with suitable dates.

About the Seminar

The seminar provides an overview of ‘Type B’ waterproofing, the predominant form of water resistance where the structure itself is constructed to be integrally waterproof. This includes:

• What guidance and requirements are offered by BS 8102:2022, the updated code of practice for the ‘Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water Ingress’
• How to ensure that your below-ground structure is watertight, using the predominant waterproofing products available in the UK
• Techniques for ensuring the continuity of Type B waterproofing

Our RIBA CPD focusing on Type A waterproofing consists of a 45-minute presentation plus a Q&A at your offices, virtually, or Newton’s dedicated training facilities in Tonbridge and Leeds.

Please contact us with suitable dates.

About the Seminar

The seminar focuses on ‘Type A’ waterproofing, a form of “barrier protection” which is applied to either the internal or external surface of a structure in order to resist the pressure of water trying to enter the building. This includes:

• A review of the principles of the British Standard and what has changed in the new BS 8102:2022 version
• Principles of Type A, including historic issues & failures, and designing Type A solutions
• Pre-applied Membranes
• Post-applied membranes
• Internal membranes
• Detailing and specialist application

Our Factory Tour CPD must be carried out at our head office and training facility in Tonbridge, Kent.

About the Seminar

The objectives are to educate the specifier on their design obligations within the UK structural waterproofing industry in accordance with BS 8102:2022.

• The classroom section outlines the different types of waterproofing systems available, and how they can be used in combination with each other in order to protect structures to the highest level
• Consideration will also be given to the significance of the changes to updated British Standard for waterproofing, BS 8102:2022
• The second part of the tour includes practical demonstrations of waterproofing systems, an overview of battery backup protection, and spray-applying cementitious coatings
• The tour will conclude with a light buffet lunch and the opportunity for a Q & A session
