Waterproofing Pipe PenetrationsPipe penetrations are often placed by the plumbing and electrical contractors in such a manner that it is impossible to properly install the required flashings.
This section implies that all walls that require waterproofing shall be constructed of concrete or masonry and shall be of structural integrity to withstand hydrostatic pressure and lateral loads.
The current British standard recommends that a waterproofing specialist is made an integral part of the design team to ensure that an appropriate solution is arrived at in each case.
On-Demand This one-hour course will cover the lessons learned from over 20 case studies regarding Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks, and continuous moisture monitoring for conventional roofing. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify common causes for moisture intrusion.
On-Demand This course is designed to eliminate confusion associated with perimeter fire containment systems in modern building design. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the role and value of tested perimeter fire containment systems, and how they perform as part of the building enclosure.
On-Demand The session explores diverse technologies, including SBS-modified bitumen, PMMA liquid-applied systems, and specialty solutions for amenity decks and vegetated roofs. By examining robust detailing strategies for complex transitions—such as penetrations and the critical junction between post-applied and pre-applied systems—architects will learn how to eliminate technical gaps.
