Master Managing Waterproofing Works within just 3 hours
Who is it for?
The course is aimed at anyone managing, designing or even applying waterproofing systems on-site. Especially, if you are a builder, site or project engineer/manager, architect or even a structural engineer. This course is a must-do as it covers the principles behind common detailing involved in a waterproofing system and the whys.
What are covered?
• What is a Waterproofing System and why do we need it?
• What are the Installation Steps for a waterproofing membrane?
• What are the different Types of Waterproofing Membranes and their application?
• What factors would impact the Design of a Waterproofing System?
• What are the Building Types & Locations that would impact a waterproofing System?
• What are the Area Types & Locations that would impact a waterproofing System?
• What are the Area Geometry and Joints which could impact a waterproofing system?
• How do the Substrate Materials and their properties impact a waterproofing system?
• How do Services and their properties impact a waterproofing system?
• How do Adjoining Elements and their properties impact a waterproofing system?
• How do the Surface Finishing Properties impact a waterproofing system?
• What is the Design Approach for a waterproofing system and the related Codes and Standards used in Australia?
what our Learners say
"The course is very practical. Also a lot of real photos and videos are used, which helps understand the waterproofing practice even though I do not have much experience around it."
"The course has been developed in a way to provide principal of water proofing design for engineers and at the same times goes through more technical details for those who are familiar with the design principals."
"Notes pop up feature is a good idea. Good to see the course is directed at local areas referred to i.e. APP membrane used in more hotter climates like as Queensland SBS more in NSW and Victoria. Sounds effects on and off a great way to refocus people"

Quality Checked by Waterproofing Subject Matter Experts
We engaged and sought feedback from a team of industry experts when developing the Introduction to Waterproofing System course. Special thanks to Ron from DanRae group, Michael from Enviro Systems, Andrew from Lendlease, Steve from Watpac Constructions and also Sam from Enviro Systems, Daniel & Renee from the DanRae group, Felicity from Lendlease and last but not least, Patrick from Hansen Yuncken who contributed the most during the development of the course. Patricks’ extensive experience in defect management, particularly waterproofing and weatherproofing defect avoidance and rectification, helped us to ensure all the aspects of waterproofing works have been discussed during the course including the design, preparation and installation stage.

Very informative and entertaining, would recommend to my colleagues!
James Nelson
This course is a fast, comprehensive and engaging way to understand good practice in waterproofing; it is thoroughly researched and accurate, inclusive of waterproofing system application but also design considerations for wet area construction and practical views on what can go wrong and how to do it right.
Kevin Hyde
The only detail a bit lacking was how to bond a screed to a debonded waterproofing product - like a solvent based polyeurethane membrane. Builders generally want speed in the process and are not aware that tie/broadcast coats are required which add about 3 days to the process. If a screed is debonded a 40mm minimum thickness is required internally and 50mm externally - all areas.

I liked this course because it is very practical to what actually happens on site and in the industry rather than just being a general overview of waterproofing in general. It discusses specific issues that happen with membrane and suggests ways to prevent this from occurring.
