As a nationally recognised professional qualification, becoming a Certificated Surveyor of Structural Waterproofing (CSSW) requires an intensive training course and two exams before individuals can become certified.
The Property Care Association (PCA) has given Newton Waterproofing Systems permission to deliver this highly desirable course at our head office in Tonbridge, Kent.
| Upcoming CSSW Training Course |
The next PCA Online Surveyors Training for Structural Waterproofing is being held throughout April and May 2022, starting Tuesday 12th April with the ‘Waterproofing Legal Aspects’ Course.
|
The all-encompassing, four-day CSSW training course will cover all three Types of waterproofing in accordance with British Standard 8102:2022 – the Code of Practice for protection of below-ground structures against water ingress.
Suitable for those involved in the design, planning and installation of below-ground waterproofing systems, our intensive course runs for three days, plus a fourth day for the legal aspects of waterproofing, ensuring trainees complete the course with a comprehensive understanding of below-ground structural waterproofing in both new-build and existing structures in-line with British Standard.
This course can be used as a foundation study for the PCA CSSW exam preparation course and CSSW examinations, which Newton can also facilitate.
Subjects include:
- Anticipated defects
- Methods of repair
- Forms of waterproofing
- Waterproofing design
- Design philosophy
- Building construction
- Products and material types
- Render technology and other waterproofing systems
- Theory of structures
- Cavity drain systems (internal and external)
- Maintenance of Type C waterproofing systems, maintenance and aftercare
- Surveying existing structures and preparation for installing waterproofing
- Financial and practical implications of defects and repair strategies
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
“As a visitor from Australia, the Newton gang were very friendly and helpful. The venue for the PCA training course was excellent with relevant displays of systems and products. Waterproofing knowledge of our hosts, especially Stuart, was reassuring for our crew, being on foreign soil and out of our comfort zone. Very well hosted and catering was great, especially pizza. We will be recommending this training for our Australian colleagues and looking forward to further developing our relationship with Newton and the PCA.” Andrew Gollé, Australian Institute of Waterproofing Committee Member
