Visqueen has launched a specialist service to ensure that building projects meet the latest stringent standards and regulations for waterproofing.

Part of Visqueen Special Projects, the new Waterproofing Design Specialists represent a significant investment by the company to deliver expertise in all types of waterproofing, fully backed by relevant guarantees. Visqueen’s design experts have undergone Certified Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing training, and have Professional Indemnity insurance, providing complete peace of mind both throughout the construction period and following its completion.

Basements must be designed and constructed to a minimum standard as defined in BS8102:2009 – the code of practice for the protection of below ground structures against water from the ground. Structural warranty providers have all produced its own guidance to ensure designs meet all the relevant technical and statutory requirements and, importantly, that they are undertaken by suitably qualified persons.

Visqueen offers a solution with support from the initial project appraisal and design brief through to on-site support and delivery of a full design handover pack on completion.
