The video is based on our top-rated, RIBA approved CPD seminar on ‘Structural Waterproofing Design Strategies to BS 8102:2009’ and will cover the following topics:

– The different forms of structural waterproofing systems available in the UK market.
– How to achieve the different environmental grades that are outlined within British Standard 8102:2009, the ‘Code of Practice for protection of below ground structures against water from the ground.’
– How combination waterproofing systems are specified for below ground environments on both new-build and existing structures.

If you are interested in accessing our online CPD, please email our Training Coordinator, Becky Woodley, on training@newtonwaterproofing.co.uk.

Find out more about waterproofing a new-build basement 

Newton System 500 was used to waterproof a large basement area as part of a prestigious new-build property in Surrey, installed by Newton Specialist Basement Contractor MaclennanUK.

Products Used:

A Prestigious New-Build Property in Surrey

Image 1This large new-build property in Surrey had a very large basement area which needed to be waterproofed to meet BS 8102 requirements, the British Standard for the Protection of Structures Against Water from the Ground. Because it is not possible to determine the amount of potential water pressure surrounding a structure, BS 8102 tells the designer to expect a head of water against the structure. In addition, BS 8102 requires that all waterproofing is maintainable and repairable.

Methodology

Image 3Newton Specialist Basement Contractor MaclennanUK were commissioned to design and install a Cavity Drain Waterproofing System. Newton System 500 was deemed the best range of products for the project as it provides a maintainable waterproofing solution – and thus meets the requirements of BS 8102. Newton 508 Cavity Drain Membrane was applied to all internal walls, and ingressing water was collected into the Basedrain channels throughout the perimeters of the wall/floor junction and pumped out to safe drainage using the Newton Titan-Pro pumping system.

Benefits

  • Newton System 500 is easily and quickly repaired and maintained.
  • The complete system is guaranteed for a full 20 years by MaclennanUK. If the system is inspected and serviced annually the guarantee can be extended every 10 years for a further 10-year period.
  • The system is very fast to install and there is no drying period.

Result

Image 2This large new-build property is completely protected against water ingress.

“Maclennan worked with Ali Galvin Homes to come up with a risk-free waterproofing strategy, to waterproof the very impressive and luxurious property that they were constructing. Newton System 500 is the best system available to waterproofing professionals and was ideal for this project” – Ian MaclennanUK

Newton Specialist Basement Contractor Stonehouse Basements were commissioned to waterproof a second phase of the Royal Courts of Justice following the success of the waterproofing of the vaulted Victorian arches they undertook a few years ago.

 

 

Stonehouse installed Newton 508 Mesh cavity drain membrane to the vaults in the Judges’ Robe Rooms. This required great expertise as the membrane needed to be lapped and sealed carefully to fit the vaulted areas. The meshed membrane could then be plastered to directly.

Newton System 500 ‘Type C’ water management system was very suitable for this project as it is deemed “reversible” so meets strict Listed Building requirements

“We were delighted to be involved in the second phase of this development, following the success of the first phase a few years ago” – Graham Stone, Stonehouse Basements.
