Question
What is BS 8102:2022?
Expert Answer
BS 8102:2022 is the British Standard 'Code of practice for the protection of below ground structures against water ingress.' It categorizes waterproofing into three types: Type A (Barrier/Tanking), Type B (Integral/Waterproof Concrete), and Type C (Drained Protection). The 2022 update places a stronger emphasis on 'maintainability' and designing for defects. MPS Concrete designs all basement waterproofing strategies in strict accordance with BS 8102:2022 to ensure insurability and long-term dryness.
