Morland garden site approximately 75m x 45m is located in a mixed residential and commercial area in the London Borough of Brent. The proposed development will accommodate a new purpose-built education centre, café/affordable workspace at ground level and residential use above.

The building initially cut into the existing slope, resulting in a partial lower ground floor, hence the need for waterproofing.

SWS were appointed to provide the basis for the lower ground floor waterproofing protection strategy for the proposed residential development.

To meet with objectives, risk assessment was carried out to determine a waterproofing strategy that best works with the building structure to achieve current guidelines as relates to BS 8102: 2022.

RIBA Stage 4, supporting documents, drawings, information, and methodologies were used to devise the waterproofing strategy.

SWS took into consideration, ground water levels conditions to provide suitable waterproofing methods.
