Tanking old school basement using Triton


A damp-proofi ng and timber treatment specialist, whose business has expanded and developed in parallel to that of Triton Systems over the past 40 years, is currently employing two of the manufacturer’s well proven products for the tanking of a large basement beneath an old school in Ovingdean, Sussex. Bensleys was established in the mid-eighties and immediately struck up a benefi cial working relationship with Triton as an emerging force in the development of drainage membranes, waterproofi ng systems, additives and other products suited to the challenges of working below ground. Lee Browne is supervising the site in Ovingdean. He said: “In the case of this school, where three walls of the basement are below ground due to the sloping site, the capillary damp was quite bad, but I was confi dent it could be treated using the TT55 tanking slurry and Triton’s Tri-Cream DPC treatment which we inject. Triton has always been brilliant with us and any time a technical issue arises, I will always get in touch with Steve West at Triton or one of his colleagues, for advice or the supply or a special detail.”
