This technical reference provides a detailed discussion of the water/soil compatibility test and its importance in the design of any below-grade waterproofing system.

Designing, planning and selecting the right membrane for the conditions of your site are key factors to achieve watertightness on tanking jobs.

Common problems with tanking basements that will have no drainage (hydrostatic) once the building is complete can be mitigated by implementing well-planned dewatering techniques during construction. 

We are often asked whether waterproofing membranes function as vapour barriers. The answer to this question is not as straightforward as with other waterproofing membranes. 

Continuing from my previous blog and the question of design, I look at considerations for ensuring an effective waterproofing solution.
