This webinar examines the requirements of BS 8102:2022 and how structural engineers must interpret and apply them in practice to achieve compliant waterproof basements. This session is part one of the on-going basement waterproofing webinar series.
It will explore how evolving expectations around scope responsibility, competency and the involvement of a Certificated Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing (CSSW) shape early-stage design decisions. It will also consider the implications of non-compliance, including financial consequences and professional liability.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
-
Interpret the key requirements of BS 8102:2022 and their implications for structural engineers.
-
Identify common points of non-compliance and associated technical, financial, and liability risks.
-
Structural engineers and built‑environment professionals interested in the design, assessment, and construction of basements and foundations.
-
Structural engineers in broader practice who encounter below‑ground structures and wish to deepen their technical understanding.
This webinar is part of a series. The second webinar Ground investigations for effective basement waterproofing will take place Tuesday 29 September 2026.
