Overview

The Future High Streets Fund (FHSF) is a program initiated by the government aimed at revitalizing underperforming high streets. The Former Magistrates’ Court is set to undergo a significant transformation, becoming a vibrant centre for cultural and creative endeavours. The new design will incorporate diverse workspaces and production areas to accommodate a variety of creative industries.  The evolution of this site will not only involve the establishment of innovative working environments but also foster community interaction through entertainment events and social gatherings.

 

The building, steeped in 143 years of history, has stood unoccupied for the last two decades. This extensive period of vacancy has added another layer to renovation approaches.

Delta Registered Installers, Timberwise (UK) Ltd, were appointed as the Waterproofing Specialists to undertake the waterproofing design and installation of the subterranean space.

The basement, spanning a substantial 70m in length and 6.3m in width, required renovations.  The comprehensive works encompass several rooms including a Plant room, I.T room, and Music rooms, each with its unique requirements and design considerations. This project promises to enhance the utility and functionality of these spaces, benefiting the entire establishment.

The waterproofing design was specified around identifying water sources and eliminating them, along with considering the structure design, a continuous system, sequencing, and installation. It also factors in future maintenance and serviceability, all in compliance with the standards set by BS 8102:2022. This standard, known as the Protection of below ground structures against water ingress, is the code of practice that governs the waterproofing industry.

Methodology

For this project a specialist system was required to provide an efficient, compliant, and future proof approach.

Working closely with the developer, Timberwise (UK) Ltd suggested incorporating Delta’s Type C, Fire Retardant, fully maintainable Cavity Drained System.

Delta MS 500 Fire Retardant is a robust Type C, Cavity Drained Protection system, designed to withstand demanding conditions. It holds a Euroclass fire rating of B-S2, d0 (EN 13501-1:2018), an indication of its superior fire resistance.  Delta MS 500 Fire Retardant does not compromise on its strength, durability, functionality, or workability. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where both fire safety and structural integrity are paramount.

The ‘Type C’ Waterproofing System serves as a practical waterproofing solution for both new constructions and renovation projects.  It incorporates two essential elements: a Cavity Drainage Membrane and a Basement Drainage system. BS 8102:2022 (Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water Ingress – Code of Practice) defines Type C waterproofing as a protection system.  This system manages water that penetrates the outer shell of a building, collecting the water in a cavity created between the exterior wall and an internal lining/wall.

Before the Delta Type C, Cavity Drained system was put in place, all junctions between floors and walls were meticulously attended to. In the context of building structures, ‘junctions’ refer to the points or surfaces where different elements or components intersect. In terms of waterproofing design, these junctions are often perceived as “weak points”. They necessitate thorough detailing to guarantee a robust approach and ensure the effectiveness of the waterproofing system.

The previous flooring consisted of blue bricks, which were replaced by the main contractor. The new design incorporated rebates for drainage channels and sump chambers within the freshly installed concrete floor slab. This upgrade was meticulously planned and executed to enhance the functionality of the basement drainage system.

Before the Delta MS20 floor membrane was installed, a comprehensive flood test was carried out on the basement slab to ensure its integrity and suitability for the application.  The flood testing process involves completely filling the basement slab with water and closely monitoring for any leaks or signs of water seepage.

Delta PT, was applied in the vaulted sections located directly beneath the structure. This specific installation permitted direct finishes.

Type A and Type C Waterproofing

Overview

The scope of this project was to offer a waterproofing solution to an early 19th century two storey, listed cottage sited in a conservation area of beautiful countryside in Scotland.

Delta Registered Installers, Structureseal Services Limited, were appointed to provide a guaranteed, cost-effective scheme that would comply with BS 8102:2022 (Protection of below ground structures against water ingress. Code of practice.).

For any structure below ground, either fully or partially, waterproofing is essential for protecting and preserving integrity.

BS 8102:2022 defines the three main methods of waterproofing protection as Type A (Barrier), Type B (Structurally Integral) and Type C (Drained).

A combination of two forms of waterproofing is preferred when designing a habitable space, often referred to as combination protection.   Where a combination of waterproofing protection is being used, the two systems should offer different performance characteristics to mitigate the risk of failure due to a common cause.

The specification and installation on the waterproofing protection will be influenced by the structure, ground conditions, along with the proposed use of the structure.  Continuity of the waterproofing protection is a further consideration when specifying a suitable scheme, along with compatibility of the different protection types which should be assessed in order to minimise the risks and negate the need for remedial measures.

Methodology

During design team meetings various revisions were made to the initially proposed waterproofing protection.  The structure required a new concrete slab which enabled the specification of Delta Amphibia, a Type A System and Delta Cavity Drainage Membranes, a Type C System.

Pre site inspections were carried out along with consultations with the customer, to ensure the waterproofing design not only meets BS 8102:2022 but also the client’s expectations.

The project was split into two phases:

Phase 1 – Installation of the Type A solution, Delta Amphibia.

Phase 2 – to install a secondary waterproofing system, such as the Delta Type C, Cavity Drainage System.

Phase 1

The 150mm ground slab was designed to the Structural Engineers details which included reinforcement where required.  The slab edge was reinforced to allow for a recess which would house the Delta Type C, perimeter drainage channel.

Prior to the concrete pour of the new structural slab, Delta Amphibia was specified as the primary waterproofing solution.  Delta Amphibia was installed vertically in a Type A, waterproofing application.

 

The unique properties of Delta Amphibia are achieved through four active layers – a watertight barrier, Reactive Core which allows Delta Amphibia to Self-Seal and Self-Heal in the event of accidental damage, an active barrier with the ability to Self-Seal at overlaps resisting lateral movement of water and a strong bonding layer.

Pre-applied bonded membranes are used to waterproof concrete in basements and below ground structures on the positive side (outside). They are installed before the reinforcement underneath a base slab and vertically on a soil retention system, or in a formwork.

Phase 2

Prior to the installation of the Type C System, to reduce the risk of free lime leaching out from the new concrete slab (during the curing process), Koster Polysil TG 500 was applied.

After ensuring the structure was water watertight Delta MS 500 cavity drained membrane was installed to the walls.

Cavity Drained Systems manage water penetration, Delta drainage channel, a water collection conduit designed to discharge water ingress was bedded into a preformed recess/gully at the floor/wall junction with incorporated inspection and maintenance points to comply with BS8102:2022.

Prior to the installation of Delta MS20 membrane, the basement slab was thoroughly flood tested.

All installed with great dealing and expertise.

What are basement drainage systems?

A key component of a Type C, Drained Protection System is the drainage system.  Often referred to in the industry as ‘basement drainage’ or ‘basement drainage systems’.

Type C, systems are water management systems.  The Type C System manages water that penetrates the external shell of a structure by collecting it in a cavity form between the external wall and an internal lining/wall.   There is permanent reliance on this cavity to collect ground water seepage and direct it to a suitable discharge point.   For Type C, Cavity Drainage Systems to function as intended, water ingress should be removed by gravity drain or mechanical pumping.

The purpose of a sump chamber is to collect and discharge (to a suitable evacuation point) any water ingress which has collected in the Type C, cavity drained protection system.
