Principles of 'Type A' Barrier Waterproofing to the New British Standard 8102:2022
Type A waterproofing is defined by British Standard 8102:2022 as “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 CPD therefore presents and considers the most relevant points to consider in specifying and installing Type A waterproofing. This includes: A review of the principles of the British Standard and what has changed in the new BS 8102:2022 version regarding Type A waterproofing; Principles of Type A membranes, from historic issues & failures to contemporary designs for Type A solutions; an introduction to both post-applied and pre-applied external membranes; internal Type A membranes; and the importance of good detailing and specialist application.

Achieving Continuity in Concrete Waterproofing to the New British Standard 8102:2022
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.

A Designers' Guide to Type C (Drained) Waterproofing Protection to BS 8102:2022
Type C, cavity drain waterproofing systems are considered to be the most highly recommended, reliable and risk-free type of waterproofing where an internal environment must be 100% dry. Where it is accepted that water could enter a building, Type C systems work differently from Types A and B in that, instead of holding back water pressure, they depressurise and manage the water away from the structure. This CPD provides insights into how these systems have evolved and developed over the years, how the significant 2022 update to the British Standard for waterproofing has affected the design of Type C systems, and the importance of factors such as maintainability and sustainability.

Factory Tour – Structural Waterproofing Products and Systems
The purpose of this factory tour and presentation is to educate the specifier on their design obligations within the UK structural waterproofing industry in accordance with British Standard BS8102:2009. On the tour you will see how cavity drain membranes are prepared and dispatched using recycled packing materials and how the component parts are assembled. The CPD presentation will help you to understand the following topics:
- The importance of British Standard BS8102:2009 and how to design a waterproofing system
- The types of systems available to protect structures internally and externally
- The different grades and standards of waterproofing in the UK
- Why basements fail and how to remedy problems
- The importance of using an approved contractor to carry out structural waterproofing

Principles of External Waterproofing to British Standard 8102:2009
Type A waterproofing is a form of “barrier protection” applied to either the internal or external surface of a below-ground structure in order to resist the pressure of water trying to enter the building. However, there are a wide range of different Type A products available on the market, and the correct choice is dependent on a number of factors. With so many aspects to consider, this CPD aims to provide attendees with a guide to the most pertinent and relevant considerations when specifying Type A waterproofing. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
- How to distinguish between Type A waterproofing and other forms of waterproofing
- What recommendations are given by BS 8102:2009 regarding Type A waterproofing
- How to distinguish between the different kinds of Type A membranes and their main benefits/drawbacks
- How important aspects such as the method of construction will impact the Type A waterproofing
- How to avoid common mistakes that have lead to historic failures in Type A systems

This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.
