Sub-basement waterproofing

Project Details

Following the fire at the museum in 2003 (click <a href=’http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/local_events/2004/12/motorcycle_museum.shtml’ target=’_blank’>here</a> for more details ) the museum suffered from repeated flooding in the sub basement levels.  After two failed attempts to stop the leaks by local contractors the project’s structural engineers contacted us for advice and a proposals to stop the constant leaks.  After our further consultation with concrete industry experts we installed a two layer waterproofing system which successfully stemmed the flow of water.  Because of the huge potential for losses to conference facilities and trade from any further leaks, we also installed a failsafe battery operated pump should the primary waterproofing systems ever fail during a power cut.
