This was the approach taken by specialist basement contractors, MGA, in the construction of a very high specification new build London property comprising a multi level basement with swimming pool and gym. All waterproofing system components were supplied by Triton Systems whose team
also oversaw their installation.
Because of the ‘variable’ water table classification and the very high value of the property, a combination of three types of waterproofing system was specified.
The complete below ground concrete structure, including the swimming pool, was formed using a watertight concrete system incorporating Triton Super Admix (BS 8102 2009 type B structurally integrated waterproofing).
As a primary method of waterproofing the structure, Triton TT Vapour Membrane (BS 8102 type A barrier waterproofing) was applied to the underside of the ground soffit. TT Vapour Membrane is a liquid applied, single component acrylic modified coating.
Platon cavity drain membranes provided the secondary waterproofing system (BS 8102 2009 type C cavity drained) and were installed to all walls and the floors of the lower level, draining to the Triton Aquachannel drainage conduit and pump system.
