The Waterproofing Time Bomb: Defending High-Risk Balconies and Podiums
$99.00 GST
Defend high-risk balconies and podiums against waterproofing failure under NCC 2022. CPD on failure modes, substrates and junction detailing for designers.
Description
This course examines the causes of waterproofing failure in high-risk balconies and podiums, focusing on how design and specification decisions drive most defects. It teaches participants how to analyse failure modes, assess substrate conditions, and align waterproofing systems with NCC 2022 compliance requirements. The course explores critical junction detailing, falls design, and drainage strategies that prevent water ingress and extend membrane performance. It also provides a structured framework for documentation, specification writing, and inspection processes that reduce design liability and improve construction outcomes. Through practical case studies, it demonstrates how poor detailing and inadequate documentation lead to costly failures and how these risks can be prevented in real projects.
This CPD provides general guidance on professional responsibilities and documentation practices. It does not constitute legal advice or replace project-specific contractual or statutory obligations.
