This course discusses the unique considerations when installing pre-applied/blindside waterproofing for below-grade waterproofing applications. It reviews the science behind any below-grade waterproofing project but with a focus on pre-applied or “blindside” waterproofing best practices—including looking at the different product types and design considerations, as well as the pre-planning, decision-making, and application techniques that these demanding waterproofing projects require.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Recognize the science behind pre-applied/blindside waterproofing and why proper waterproofing is critical during below-grade installations.
2. Discuss the importance of planning throughout the pre-applied specifying process.
3. Explore the design and decision-making process for selecting the best pre-applied product for the situation, including the pros/cons of the different product technologies available.
4. Identify the best practices for sequencing/installing blindside waterproofing.
