CSSW Design
Ensuring a robust structural waterproofing design is critical to the long-term success of any below-ground development. Yet too often, basement waterproofing design is treated as an afterthought or addressed too late in the build process. Early involvement of a CSSW qualified designer helps shape a building’s durability, layout efficiency, and maintenance access right from the outset.
At UK Resilient Structures (UKRS), we offer expert-led waterproofing design services across the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle, Nottingham, Southampton, and Cardiff. Our approach aligns with the latest guidance under BS 8102 waterproofing design standards, ensuring that each solution is both technically sound and fully compliant.
In busy urban environments like London, complex ground conditions make below ground waterproofing design even more challenging. Unfortunately, we regularly encounter plans drawn up by general architects or engineers that lack the detail and foresight needed for proper groundwater protection design. According to BS 8102:2022, a waterproofing design specialist must be a core member of the design team, not a last-minute consultant.
That’s where we come in. Our team of CSSW-qualified waterproofing specialists bring together deep knowledge of construction methodologies and real-world experience. Whether you’re seeking basement waterproofing design for a new build in London or a comprehensive strategy for a multi-storey site in Birmingham, we deliver designs that are buildable, maintainable, and future-proof.
Each project begins with a tailored waterproofing risk assessment to evaluate ground conditions, water table levels, structural loading, and use of space. From there, we develop a complete waterproofing design report, outlining the most suitable approach, including recommendations for Type A, B, or C waterproofing systems, or a hybrid solution where appropriate.
We understand the financial pressures of value engineering, and our recommendations are always made with both cost efficiency and long-term performance in mind. Unlike product-driven providers, our advice is fully independent and never biased toward a specific system or manufacturer. We offer insurance-backed waterproofing specifications with full design liability-giving our clients the confidence and peace of mind they need.
Whether you’re building a residential basement in Edinburgh, renovating a listed property in Bath, or developing a large commercial site in Milton Keynes, UKRS provides groundwater protection design strategies that align with your goals, site risks, and build sequence.
As a trusted consultancy for waterproofing design in the UK, our aim is simple: deliver risk-reducing, regulation-compliant, and performance-driven solutions from concept to completion.
