Date: 30th November | Venue: Online Event

Basements maximise available land space by providing greater capacity without increasing the building footprint. While basement design is well established and achievable, their successful development requires understanding the expectations of the client, associated performance requirements, and soil and ground water conditions. Evaluation of these provides the basis for the structural design, construction methods, and the waterproofing system to be employed.
In this half day online seminar we will look at the challenges of delivering concrete basements in Ireland. From design to choice of water proofing systems, our expert panel of speakers will discuss the key factors to be considered. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask the panel questions during discussion.

Who should attend

This seminar will be of interest to all those who are involved in the design, specification and construction of concrete basements: Consulting Engineers, Site Engineers, Main Contractors, and Specialist Sub-Contractors. Ready-Mixed Concrete Producers and Clients may also find this seminar beneficial.
