With much anticipation, BSI launch BS8102:2022 Protection of below ground structures against water ingress. Code of practice.

BS8102:2009 is without doubt, a great Standard which has been enhanced with the launch of BS8102:2022.  It should be noted that BS8102:2009 is now superseded and withdrawn. 

As the name implies, cold applied liquid roofing/waterproofing is the use of a liquid waterproofing system without the requirement of heat.

Waterproofing roofs (whether it’s a flat roof or podium deck) is one of the most important structural requirements of any building. A watertight roof performs a vital function in protecting a structure.

Liquid waterproofing systems or cold liquid roofing are a great cost-effective method for waterproofing both new and existing roofs.

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.
