Delta was delighted to exhibit and present at the RIBA CPD Network Providers Roadshow on Thursday 4th November 2021.  One of the first ‘in person’ Roadshows in 18 months, in response to the Covid pandemic.

Delta’s presentation ‘Waterproofing Below Ground to BS8102:2009’ was delivered by Delta’s expert, Northern Technical Manager, Brian England.

Delta’s Waterproofing Below Ground to BS 8102:2009 presentation provides essential guidance for architects, designers, and specifiers on types of waterproofing solutions, standards and legislation that govern the waterproofing industry along with guidance on design principles.

When designing the most appropriate waterproofing system to any given situation, various design factors will need addressing such as (but not limited to), final use of the building, the grade of waterproofing requirement under the British Standard, structural considerations based on the form of construction and in some cases, satisfying the requirements of building warranty providers.

Waterproofing installation companies can offer homeowners IBG’s, meaning the installed waterproofing system is covered in terms of the original guarantee.

Just like the name implies, Delta’s technical team are responsible for the design and planning of structural waterproofing systems.  Delta’s trusted team can provide waterproofing designs capable of meeting Warranty Providers Standards and can be installed by a reputable contractor able to offer Insurance Back Guarantees. 

One of the most important components of a green roof is the waterproofing/roof membrane.  A Waterproofing Designer’s philosophy defines what they wish to accomplish in the design of their waterproofing system and which principles they will use to do so.  Identifying a robust and suitable design philosophy is an important aspect when designing a continuous system, as this will not only directly impact in how users install the system but also in future maintenance which will directly impact on the property owner.

It’s been almost 2 years since we attended our last in-person conference, and we were certainly looking forward to attending the CABE (Chartered Institute of Building Engineers) Conference on 14-15 October.

With COVID-19 restrictions behind us, for Delta the opportunity to re-connect with colleagues, old friends and new, the CABE Conference didn’t disappoint as we adjusted and adapted to the new, old, new.

CABE’s flagship Annual Conference & Exhibition showcases the latest developments in the industry and addresses legislative and technological changes to reinforce knowledge, helping professionals to continually develop.  With speaker debates, a Gala Dinner and Built Environment Awards ceremony the highly insightful 2-day event was certainly action packed.
