Implementing Advanced Technologies to Mitigate Risks in Type C Waterproofing and Basement Drainage Systems

Description

This CPD provides designers with a clearer understanding of smart technology within Type C Cavity Drainage Systems, and how advanced monitoring technologies can help reduce risk throughout the life of a below-ground structure.

During the session, we explore the principles of smart technology, the practical role of remote monitoring, and the key design considerations involved in creating robust and maintainable Type C Cavity Drainage Systems/Basement Drainage Systems for domestic and commercial projects.

We will begin by reviewing the different forms of structural waterproofing and basement drainage available, before considering how smart technology can be used to identify potential issues earlier, improve resilience, and support long-term performance.

Using case studies and worked examples, the presentation will demonstrate how these approaches can be applied effectively in practice.
