Continuing from my previous blog and the question of design, I look at considerations for ensuring an effective waterproofing solution. 

There is no aspect of bentonite waterproofing that is as misunderstood as how it responds to wet/dry cycling.

Below-grade shoring wall construction often proves to be difficult to obtain and maintain along the project site perimeter. 

A detailed discussion of the water/soil compatibility test and its importance in the design of any below-grade waterproofing system.

This month I look at the provision of containment pressure to maintain the effectiveness of bentonite tanking membranes under both static and seismic conditions.
