In this CPD webinar we will explore the fundamentals of integral waterproofing systems - what they are, why they matter, and how they are achieved through the use of concrete admixtures, a key component of Type B waterproofing.

Event Description
Join us as we unpack how admixtures work, when and where to specify them, and the key design considerations when used as part of a combined Type A + B system, to provide a reliable and efficient solution for long-term protection.
Key Learning Outcomes:
- Understand how crystalline concrete admixtures function as Type B (integral waterproofing) solutions transforming concrete into a self-sealing barrier against water ingress and chemical attack.
- Learn how combining Type A (membrane) and Type B (integral) systems provides a robust dual-protection strategy, essential for habitable or high-risk basements by addressing both internal and external water ingress.
- Identify key specification and design considerations when incorporating concrete admixture.
