The PCA is the trade body for the structural waterproofing sector, with a membership including manufacturers, consultants and contractors.
The annual structural waterproofing conference is part of an active programme from PCA overall to ensure technical competence in the industry.
Initiatives include a searchable register of Waterproofing Design Specialists and a range of free technical documents including codes of practice and best practice guidance.
The PCA also offers a renowned training and qualification programme recognised across the construction sector.
Designed to drive forward standards, support best practice and raise technical competency across the structural waterproofing industry, at the core of the PCA’s programme is the surveyor in structural waterproofing training.
This intensive, theoretical training course focuses on different aspects of structural waterproofing including BS8102, and the different types of waterproofing including Types A, B and C.
It is developed for those with existing experience in the field and can also be used as a foundation to go on to take the Certificated Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing (CSSW) industry-leading qualification.
