This on-demand webinar examines the requirements of BS 8102:2022 and how structural engineers can interpret and apply them in practice to achieve compliant waterproof basements. This session is part one of the ongoing basement waterproofing webinar series.
It explores how expectations around scope of responsibility, competency and the involvement of a Certificated Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing (CSSW) shape early stage design decisions. It also considers the implications of non compliance, including financial consequences and professional liability.
