Course Description
Today’s buildings continue to push the envelope of architectural
design, energy efficiency, construction time lines and cost
reductions forcing building materials and application techniques to
evolve. The evolution of products and applications to waterproof
the entire building envelope (vertical and horizontal) throughout
the variety of construction materials has created a blend between
established and newly developed waterproofing technologies. These
blended technologies have the single purpose to all integrate and
create a continuous system protecting the building from moisture
and performing harmoniously. This presentation helps identify the
challenges and opportunities to build an integrated waterproofing
system addressing all six sides of the building envelope. While
each type of installation will be reviewed separately, the platform
will be set for successful integration at all of the transitions
and changes within the building by the proper identification and
specification of compatible products and materials.
Learning Objectives:
- Put the science behind positive side waterproofing to use in
effective planning
- Reinforce available technologies for above and below grade
applications of waterproofing as well as performance based wall
systems
- Understand the science behind performance-based wall
systems
- Provide continuity between wall and waterproofing systems
through proper product selection and detailing
