CLASS: WATERPROOFING PERCEPTION
1. WHY WATERPROOFING MATTERS
1. WHY WATERPROOFING MATTERS
INTRO:
Structures are expensive. Building a Structure impacts environment/climate. The economy of a Structure is based on a certain life-span. These are some of the reasons why Structural waterproofing is important.

3. STRUCTURE/WATER INTERACTION
3. STRUCTURE/WATER INTERACTION
INTRO:
Almost all Structure are, in different ways, affected by water and/or moist. (which is why it's pretty strange that "Protecting Structures" isn't a part of the education/training of Construction People in most countries.)

4. UNDERKILL - OVERKILL - STRESS
4. UNDERKILL - OVERKILL - STRESS
INTRO:
There are three Specific thing we want to avoid when Waterproofing Structures:
- UNDERKILL - the mother of all failed waterproofing
- OVERKILL - where things simply is a waste (in many cases because the solutions are designed by "Special Interests")
- STRESS - when waterproofing fails it affects a lot of things, and one of them is the STRESS level - and stress is very often the start of a chain-reaction

5. WATERPROOFING INGREDIENTS
5. WATERPROOFING INGREDIENTS
INTRO:
When dealing with Structural Waterproofing, most people think: "products" - but Waterproofing is about SO much more, and actually, choosing products should always be a "last minute decision" - many things need to be in place before "choosing products".

This Training Library teaches some vital terms and concepts needed when working professionally with Below Grade Structural Waterproofing
CONTENT:
1. WPQC BACKGROUND
1. WPQC BACKGROUND
INTRO:
WPQC is short for WaterProofing Quality Chain©. Waterproofing is about the process - not the products. Every waterproofing process is based on a certain Sequence, and only by following this Sequence you can be sure to treat all projects uniquely. This tool is a way to bring everybody, involved in your process, together on the same page, have them pulling in the same direction, at the same pace.

8. PROCESS: DEBRIEFING
INTRO:
In all waterproofing Projects things are learned, new ideas has been tested - all in all, at the end of all processes there will be Experiences that, if shared, can benefit future projects. One of the main reasons we still see so many failed waterproofing projects, after several decades of modern waterproofing, is the almost systematically reluctance to share and learn.

10. YOUR PROJECT: JOB-SITE PERSPECTIVE
INTRO:
When it comes to Structural Waterproofing you can't be sure who has actually DESIGNED the solutions. Is it the Specifier? Is it the Product Sales people? and how Qualified are the Specifications?
In 90% of all failed Structural Waterproofing the Contractor "takes the fall" = get to pay! - and in many cases this is simply because they don't know better. This is why you should Evaluate the Solutions critically before you even buy products - to disclose all the potential Pitfalls and/or "Mission Impossibles".

WATERPROOFING BASICS
This Training Library teaches some vital terms and concepts needed when working professionally with Below Grade Structural Waterproofing
CLASS: BASIC CONCEPTS
1. RULE #1 OF ALL STRUCTURAL WATERPROOFING
1. RULE #1 OF ALL STRUCTURAL WATERPROOFING
INTRO:
This Basic Waterproofing Concept is so simple, and yet, so rarely considered when people design and execute Structural Waterproofing - which explains most of the problems we see when waterproofing fails (or becomes far too expensive).
We find that if anything should be taught about Structural Waterproofing when training and educating construction people - this topic would be it.

2. ABOUT WATERPROOFING ERRORS
2. ABOUT WATERPROOFING ERRORS
INTRO:
Waterproofing fails constantly and have done so for many decades - so the logical conclusion to most people typically is, that waterproofing is "blurry" and that there can be many reasons for it to fail. But that is not true: waterproofing isn't blurry - it is made blurry,,, and there aren't many reasons,,, they are just repeated a lot.

INTRO:

2. O.W.A
2. O.W.A
INTRO:
Before even thinking about waterproofing Solutions (not to mention Products), you have to evaluate the O.W.A - which is short for: Own Waterproofing Ability. In other words, how much of the waterproofing will be handled by the Structure itself.

3. CBA VS ELONGATION
3. CBA VS. ELONGATION
INTRO:
Below grade structural movements only rarely challenge the Elongation ability of a product. Structural movements below grade are mostly "narrow" and RAPID, hence the CBA (Crack Bridging Ability) is important. On ROOFS the elongation is important, because up there the movement are slower and affects the entire surface.

4. 90-10 WATERPROOFING
INTRO:
On 90% of all Structural waterproofing, you will find 90% of your problem on 10% of the surface. By thinking this way you can save a lot of time, product and effort - or as we call it: OVERKILL. At the same time you get a much STRONGER waterproofing because you minimize UNDERKILL.
