New Amendment to BS8485:2015

BS 8485:2015 which superseded BS 8485:2007 has now been further updated with the introduction of BS 8485:2015+A1:2019.

BS 8485:2015+A1:2019 is an essential guide in many areas of the building industry including architects, engineers and contractors as well as ground gas protection membrane manufacturers and suppliers like ourselves.

Kevin Dodds, Director at Delta Membrane System Limited, explores the complexities and challenges on structural waterproofing projects which also require ground gas protection.

Neither post-consumer nor post-industrial recycled materials can achieve 100% of the mechanical properties of virgin materials. The quality of these recycled materials has a direct long-term life prediction (with some membranes made from recycled material only having a 5-year life prediction (according to EN 13252)).

There is a wide choice of structural waterproofing materials available in the market and it can be difficult to determine the best option for your project.

We understand the complexity and competitiveness of the industry and the challenges this brings for manufacturers seeking to improve margins, reduce costs and improve predictability. Whether you’re involved in the specification, procurement and/or installation, we understand the challenges you face including managing financial risks, efficient delivery, or meeting legislative or environmental requirements.
