Structural Waterproofing is not just about procuring single products to stop water ingress; it is a combination of products used together in an integrated complimentary manner as a complete system.
Type A protection systems are defined by BS 8102:2022 as “barrier protection”. This is where a membrane is put in place which offers a barrier to the passage of water between the internal and external environments of the structure.
Type B structurally integral waterproofing, as defined by BS 8102:2022 (Code of Practice for protection of below ground structures against water ingress), is where the structure itself is constructed as an integral water-resistant shell.
Type C systems use internal groundwater management, utilising a cavity between the external skin and internal finish in structures. Groundwater is lead to an appropriate sump-pump system or drainage outlet with a non-return valve.
Atal take design responsibility for the waterproofing phase of the project, from initial design consultation with the architect, consulting engineer, contractor or all three, through the design itself complete with all necessary CAD drawings (including revisions) to produce a completed waterproofing strategy.
“We highly recommend ATAL and are delighted to have them as our structural waterproofing company of choice. From their easy enquiry and ordering process to their high levels of customer service, we know that we are in capable hands with them and the material that we need for a high-quality product”
“Thank you very much for the CPD this morning, it was very informative, technically based and well structured. It made a change to have a CPD that kept our attention throughout, we have all got into the habit of trying to multitask which isn’t a good habit when you are supposed to be learning! The showing of the samples worked well too.”

The customers that have been supplied with the admixture have been pleased and we have had no issues with strength or quality.
The change to the bags sizes (introduction of the water soluble bag) has made it easier especially for manually handling on the plant side.
Atal have a comprehensive product range, they always offer practical achievable solution and delivery on time results. David is very knowledgeable, and his positive approach is refreshing, hopefully we will continue to enjoy our mutually beneficial relationship, long into the future.
