BS
8102 is the British Standards Institute Code of Practice for Protection of
Below Ground Structures Against Water from the Ground.
BS8102 gives recommendations and provides guidance on methods of dealing
with and preventing the entry of water from surrounding ground into a
structure below ground level.
BS8102 covers the use of
 | Waterproofing barrier materials
applied to the structure
 | Structurally integral watertight
construction
 | Drained cavity construction. |
| |
It
also covers the evaluation of groundwater conditions, risk assessment
and options for drainage outside the structure. BS8102 applies to structures
which extend below ground level and those on sloping sites.

BS 8102:2009
replaces BS 8102:1990 which has been withdrawn.
This is a full
revision of the standard, and includes the following changes:
 |
A number of
recent developments are addressed, which are important when
specifying, designing and constructing below ground
structures, including
 |
More
deep construction in congested urban areas |
 |
An
increase in the provision of residential basements |
 |
Development
and use of new materials for waterproofing. |
|
 |
A
more detailed assessment is provided of the risks in below
ground construction and how these might best be addressed. |
