BS 8102:2022: Protection of below ground structures against water ingress

What is BS 8102 – Code of practice for below ground structures about?
BS 8102 focuses on below ground structures. BS 8102 provides best industrial guidance for design of below ground structures to prevent contamination.

BS 8102 gives recommendations and provides guidance on methods of dealing with and preventing the entry of water from external sources into structures that are partly or wholly below ground.

It covers the use of:

Waterproofing barrier materials applied to the structure
Structurally integral watertight construction
Drained cavity construction
Who is BS 8102 - Code of practice for below ground structures for?
BS 8102 on windscreen repair is useful for:

Manufacturers of waterproofing and drainage systems
Design engineers
Architects
Product specifiers
Geotechnical engineers and site investigators
Contractors
Site engineers
Building control – local authority and private
Why should you use BS 8102 - Code of practice for below ground structures?
Strategies for dealing with all external sources of groundwater, surface/flood water, soil gases and contaminants should be determined from the very earliest stages of the planning and design processes for any project involving below ground structures.

BS 8102 provides guidance on the drainage outside the structure and recognizes the risk of water entering a structure through openings. BS 8102 covers structural design, overall weatherproofing design, waterproofing design and construction processes sequencing, and buildability of the structure BS 8102 provides methods for evaluation of groundwater conditions and consideration of harmful ground gases, risk assessment and how to manage these risks in below ground structures. This will ensure development of a robust design for protecting a structure from entry of water from external sources.

BS 8102 contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure and Goal 11 on sustainable cities and communities.
