Our new Waterproofing Existing Basements and Podium Deck and Buried Roof Waterproofing CPD Seminars will cover everything you and your employees need to know to stay ahead of the game when specifying structural waterproofing solutions.

With evermore challenging environments, in particular the protection of buildings against water and moisture ingress.

Fire-retardant materials have a critical role to play in keeping modern buildings safe.   However intense the fire, fire-retardant materials offer occupants of a building, valuable time for means of escape.

April 2021, saw the introduction of the Delta MS 500 Fire Retardant System.  This innovative Type C Waterproofing Membrane not only complies with BS 8102:2009 “Code of Practice for the Protection of Structures Below Ground” but also achieves a Euroclass rating of B-S2, d0 in accordance with EN 13501-1:2018.

Delta Membrane Systems Limited are proud to launch Roof Guard, a flexible and robust cold applied liquid waterproofing system.

Delta Roof Guard is the ultimate solution in cold liquid applied waterproofing, based on the most advanced polyurethane technology.  Simple to install, fast curing, flexible, and long-lasting, making Delta Roof Guard suitable for use in all kinds of waterproofing projects including flat or sloping roofs, podium decks, balconies, walkways, terraces, car parks and for surfacing applications.

When waterproofing a below ground structure with a Type C cavity membrane system, a suitable basement drainage system is also required to safely remove ground water ingress which percolates the structure.

This drainage system is made up of four key components – a submersible pump, often referred to as a sump pump, basement drainage channels/modular drainage system, high level water alarm(s) and battery backup(s), larger projects may also require a control panel.  

The first stage of a cavity drainage system install is to provide an accessible and maintainable drainage system.  Whether new build or retrofitting, the drainage system is always the first step.
