Mistakes made in this field are very disruptive and usually very costly to rectify. The design requirements and Waterproofing techniques for such works are defined in BS8102:2022, the British Standard for “Protection of Below Ground Structures against Water Ingress”.
The Standard recommends that a “Specialist in Waterproofing” carried out the design, or in larger projects, is included in the design team for any structure where usable space is fully or partly below the ground level.
In response to this the Property Care Association has vetted and approved Waterproofing Design Specialists and produced “The Register of Waterproofing Design Specialists”, to allow Clients, including qualified- developers, architects, builders and private individuals, to quickly locate individual practitioners who can carry out, or assist with, the design and planning of underground waterproofing as recommended in BS8102.
