Commercial Waterproofing Solutions
Timberwise have been providing waterproofing services at commercial projects for 50 years.
Commercial Waterproofing Design & Installation
Timberwise can take full responsibility for the design and liability for the basement waterproofing design in your building project. We design and implement waterproofing systems in line with guidelines set out in BS 8102 2009. Our systems also meet or exceed the guidance set out by in NHBC chapter 5.4 and Local Authority Building Control (LABC) guidelines.
Although the general principles contained within the BS 8102 2009 code have been maintained, there are several key changes and additional points that should not be overlooked.
One key point is contained within section 4.2, The design Team, the code recommends:
A waterproofing specialist should be included as part of the design team so that an integrated waterproofing solution is created.
Waterproofing types to consider:
Type A
Barrier Protection (External, Sandwiched or Internal)
Type B
Structurally Integral Protection (Usually to the relevant British Standard and of reinforced concrete structure) (BS 8007 and BS 8110)
Type C
Drained Protection (Cavity Drain Membranes and Construction Drained Cavities)
