Aside from COVID-19, 2021 has been particularly interesting in the world of structural waterproofing by way of the BS8102:2009 review.

BS8102:2009 “Code of practice for protection of below ground structures against water from the ground” and gives recommendations and provides guidance on methods of preventing and dealing with the entry of water from surrounding ground into a structure below ground level, whether this be completely under or partly underground.

I have been honoured to serve as a peer in the review committee.  Whilst the review is currently, still under revision, it’s launch is imminent, and I’ll look forward to sharing the updates with you once it’s published.

Proven performance from the UK’s most trusted Type C waterproofing membrane manufacturer, Delta Membrane Systems Limited is delighted to be launching Delta Amphibia a new BBA Certified Pre- and Post-Applied Membrane System.

Delta Amphibia is a pre- and post- applied fully bonded waterproofing membrane with reactive core, this hydro-reactive, self-healing, self-sealing multi-layer waterproofing system which can be applied on vertical and horizontal areas of new construction.

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  It should be noted that BS8102:2009 is now superseded and withdrawn.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.
