Case studies

The scope of the project was to offer a retrofit solution to a leaking podium deck. Works included closing up a leaking parapet, podium deck interface and side wall and providing a robust waterproofing solution to a residential structure in North Yorkshire.

Podium decks are an external platform between and/or attached to a structure and is defined as an externally weathered platform. Podium decks can be utilised for car parks, leisure spaces, recreational spaces, patio terraces and gardens.

Delta Registered Installers, Oaks Damp Proofing Co Ltd were engaged to assist on an exciting new development, in London.  The project scope was to offer waterproofing design and installation to a warehouse facility.  The 33,000 square foot structure would offer 107 separate dwellings once complete.  The project requirements sought for a sympathetic renovation of an existing basement and back of house comms areas.

When it comes to structures, waterproofing and retrofitting waterproofing solutions is a critical element for protecting a structure and preserving its value.  Poor waterproofing (from design to installation) can cause numerous issues.  

The scope of this project was to replace a above ground level pool house (a dated timber structure), with a below ground one. Included in the design was to provide an entrance staircase visible to a grassed area with the pool and tennis courts behind. The project brief included a plant room (servicing the main pool and hot tub), WC and changing area.

To fulfil the requirements of BS8102:2022 and BS 8485:2015+A1:2019 a strategy to develop a specification which combines structural waterproofing and ground gas protection were required for this refurbishment project.

The project involved creating additional living space to an existing mid terrace Victorian property in W12.  The site of the property, whilst not being located on contaminated land was identified as being potentially at risk, it was near what is classed as contaminated land (an old brick yard).

To satisfy Building Control requirements gas protection measures were required to meet BS 8485:2015+A1:2019.
