Structural waterproofing – introducing John Newton’s new 300 Concrete Waterproofing Range
February 2012
When designing a structural waterproofing system for new-build or exiting projects, BS 8102:2009 'Code of practice for protection of below ground structures against water from the ground' suggests that the structure should be waterproofed to the full
depth of the retained aspects of the construction.
To ensure a robust and integrated waterproofing solution,
BS 8102 also suggests including a waterproofing specialist as part of the design team, thus devising solutions that accommodate the various project constraints and needs that are typical of modern day building design. This helps to ensure a homogenous link
between all the waterproofing elements and that buildability is considered.
Introducing Newton’s innovative and proven new range
John Newton & Co have been protecting buildings from the effects of water ingress for more than 160 years, and have now included in their portfolio a range of concrete waterproofing solutions using the latest technologies, offering the specifier the ability
to protect the entire envelope of the structure, from below ground base slab, earth retained walls to concrete deck waterproofing solutions, all from a single source.
The innovative and proven new Newton System 300 – Waterproofing of Concrete Structures range, installed throughout Europe and worldwide, includes
301 Aquaproof coated metal waterbar, giving instant protection to construction joints against water ingress,
302 Injection Hose, 303/4 Polyproof hydrophilic and re-injectable waterbars,
308 Stopaq, a unique swelling sealant for pipe penetrations,
403 Hydrobond externally applied bonded membrane, and Flexproof X1 external construction joint compound.
