Hodgson View: Property Flood protection Works - so why don't we buy it?

'Test Wall' - Phase 1 underway...
PCA's Technical team have recently built a 'test wall' at the Practical Training Centre, with the idea of running a number of experiments using a number of moisture measuring tools, to compare and contrast the readings, ease of use and accuracy etc... We will also consider the impact of different wall coverings. We are pretty sure nothing like this has been carried out before and we look forward to sharing the journey with you. Videos will be shared over the coming weeks and months as we begin the experimentation phase....
Next LIVE webinar
**JUST 1 WEEK** until our next LIVE webinar! Following on from the recent update to BS 8102:2022, our next broadcast raises the question 'Does this change our view of waterproofing?' What exactly are the updates and what has changed? What impact will the updates and changes have on design choices and waterproofing strategies moving forward? Will this updated guidance change our view to waterproofing? To find out the answers and to learn much more, join us and PCA Trainer Michael Earle, on Thursday 28th April 2022 from 9-10am.
