25 Jun 2021

This webinar will introduce the new Basement Information Centre guide which aims to bring together the expertise and advice of ground gas specialists, structural waterproofing specialists, designers and product experts to provide a best practice approach for combined gas protection and waterproofing for below ground structures. The webinar will cover the design process, practical considerations and installation and a worked example.

This webinar will be hosted by The Concrete Centre on behalf of The Basement Information Centre. The Basement Information Centre aims to encourage and enable the design and construction of quality basements on new developments and the improvement of existing and retro-fit basements.
