Triton Systems can advise on all aspects of the relevant suitability of waterproof concrete
W
ithin the British Standard BS 8102 (2022) Protection of below ground structures against water ingress it can be quite confusing as there are many acceptable options on what can be specified to provide a waterproofing solution when designing a new build project involving a below ground element. Usually a basement, the focus is often on the type of membrane system to be used, leading on to the type of membrane (whether liquid applied or a sheet membrane type etc) however what is often
overlooked is the fact that the structure itself can be used to create a standard watertight concrete structure without the need for other membrane products. A bold statement maybe, but it can certainly be achieved using a superior quality concrete from a superior quality ready mix concrete supplier, a few small adjustments to the standard concrete mix design and with the addition of an active waterproof concrete admixture added at the concrete plant such at Triton TT Admix. If concrete is modified and with the addition of an active crystalline waterproof admixture and it can be placed, compacted, and cured properly it will create a very solid and robust initial line of water defense that is permanently and actively protected by life long self-healing and this is acceptable under the latest British Standard BS812 (2022). Waterproof concrete alone however may not be sufficient to create a finished habitable space however, for environments listed as Grade 1a, 1b or Grade 2 within BS8102

Coverings_PR.indd 1 30/05/2022 14:42 F. Ball supports Coventry centre renovation
Products donated by F. Ball and Co. Ltd., including the company’s Stopgap 1200 Pro levelling compound, have been used to prepare subfl oors as part of the renovation of the Coventry Caribbean Community Centre prior to its reopening to coincide with Coventry’s UK
City of Culture status last year. Installers opted to use F. Ball’s Stopgap 1200 Pro to smooth subfl oors. The levelling compound can be applied directly over minimal, well-bonded old adhesive residues. F. Ball’s Stopgap F77 one-part waterproof surface membrane was then applied to prevent excess subfl oor moisture attacking fl oorcoverings and adhesives.
