Structural Basement Waterproofing / Tanking
Lingard Ltd waterproofing systems can be installed to both new and existing structures.
We can offer designers and property owners the most appropriate system to suit the structure using cementitious (render & slurries) and cavity drainage or external membranes.
BS8102 identifies 3 different types of use varying from Grade 1 suitable for plant rooms where slight seepage tolerable ie. Car parks; through to Grade 3 – dry environment: ventilated residential & commercial areas, i.e. restaurants. Note: Archives & landmark buildings require a controlled environment.
These types of construction are considered:
Type A
Type B
Type C
Barrier protection using either internal rigid cementitious (Sika-1 system, Thoroseal, Vandex) or external membranes (self adhesive, pre-applied mechanically bonded, Bentonite sheet systems, coatings etc)
Integral construction using colloidal silicate pore blocking admixtures cast within the concrete.
Drained protection using HDPE/polypropylene cavity drainage membranes (Safeguard, Sika, Newtonite).
Lingard Ltd will also take into consideration the following factors in selecting the most cost effective long-term remedy for basement waterproofing:
- Age of building.
- Intended use and lift expectancy.
- Locations and site topography ie. Can water readily drain away?
- Type and condition of structure ie. Instable masonry may require strengthening/stabilising using gunite prior to waterproofing.
- Availability of existing drainage.
Lingard Ltd are experienced with installing all major waterproofing manufacturers systems including Sika, Vandex, BASF, Weber, Fosroc, Remmers.
