The importance of protecting below ground structures

With an influx of new residential developments being built across the UK there are many considerations that must be taken into account during construction. Interflow have launched a new CPD programme which shows why it is important for all new developments to consider structural design, weatherproofing, waterproofing and the construction process together in order to ensure the right solutions are identified and implemented. The CIBSE accredited CPD programme focuses on the importance of protecting below ground structures against water from the ground. The programme – Preventing Structural Damage by Eliminating Water Ingress Through Service Penetration Ducts – illustrates how various service duct sealing products aid compliance with BS 8102 – code of practice.

Interflow uses high-profile projects, such as the upgrade of Victoria Station in London, to highlight the reasons why having a waterproofing expert as part of the initial design team is paramount to the long-term success of a development. With over 25 years’ experience in supplying and installing durable, rugged solutions Interflow are well positioned to give advice in this field. It is the UK distributor of a specialist range of products for the built environment, designed to enhance, add value and increase sustainability across housing, commercial and public sectors. They are dedicated to helping customers optimise building performance, save energy and reduce their carbon footprint.

The CPD programme focuses on how this combination helps to develop strategies for dealing with groundwater and earth-borne gasses.
