Below-Grade Waterproofing for Deep Foundations, Peter Baker (Building Science Summer Camp 2023)

Peter Baker, P.Eng., is the President of Building Science Corporation. The Romans taught us about how to deal with foundations above the water table over 2,000 years ago. We are still figuring things out for foundations below the water table. Peter has been dealing with these things since before Wayne Gretzky was sent to the United States…which seems like it was about 2,000 years ago. The bottom line: It’s not how deep you go, it’s how you go deep, Learning Objectives Understanding how to control hydrostatic pressure on the interior and exterior of deep foundation assemblies.
