Specifying Pumping Systems for Below-Ground Waterproofing Projects

Description

A key component of type C cavity drain waterproofing, pumping systems provide a safe method for water to exit a building. For architects and specifiers working on projects involving below-ground spaces, understanding the intricacies of sump pump system design and specification is essential.

This session covers a comprehensive understanding of pump technologies and best practices in pump selection for various applications.

We will also look at:

• A deep dive into the specification considerations for below-ground pumping systems
• The fundamental principles of pump operation, types of pumps, and the essential criteria for routine pump maintenance
• The critical role of sump pumps within type C waterproofing systems
• Common risks associated with below-ground pump installations and how to mitigate them through correct system design
