Presentation 1: Underground Waterproofing: A Recipe for Success – Learning Objectives: 1) Understand success in basement waterproofing is derived from a system design instead of material selection; 2) Understand the architectural, structural and foundation design are synthesized to produce a singular design which achieve the objective of waterproofing; 3) Understand the key component for success is control of subsurface water so that the water does not touch the concrete. Geofabrics for drainage inspire more caution than success; 4) Understand that construction administration is but a loss prevention escape. There is no substitute for construction engineering and control of the contractor.  1.0 AIA LU

Presentation 2: Concrete Waterproofing with Crystalline Technology – Learning Objectives: 1) Understand how crystalline technology works with concrete to provide high performance waterproofing; 2) Explain the difference of porosity, permeability and the mechanics by which water is absorbed through concrete structures; 3) Explain how crystalline technology works to improve the durability of concrete structures and reduce maintenance; 4) Analyze how crystalline technology admixture can impact life-cycle and project construction costs.   1.0 AIA LU

Presentation 3: The Physics Behind Lessons Learned in a Full-Size Blindside Mock-Up – Learning Objectives: 1) Develop an understanding of a pre-applied waterproofing system within a structural shotcrete wall assembly; 2) Develop an understanding of the physics and importance of bonding a pre-applied waterproofing system to a structural shotcrete wall assembly; 3) Develop an understanding of the physics and importance for the survivability of a pre-applied waterproofing system in a structural concrete wall assembly; 4) Develop an understanding of the physics and importance to resist lateral water migration of a pre-applied waterproofing system in a structural shotcrete wall assembly.  1.0 AIA LU

Presentation 4: Adding Resiliency on the Roof: Vegetated Roofs and Blue Roofs – Learning Objectives: 1) Understand waterproofing basics on vegetated roofs; 2) Summarize the economic and environmental benefits of vegetated roofs; 3) Describe important design and installation considerations for vegetated roofs; 4) Analyze how vegetated roofing and blue roofs can work as part of a site’s storm water management plan; 5) Explain the mechanics behind blue/green roofs.  1.0 AIA HSW
