The RIBA approved seminar is part of Delta’s portfolio of learning and development tools, aimed at architects, specifiers, developers, and contractors to help build their knowledge base and keep delegates updated on new techniques and innovations in the structural waterproofing industry.
‘Cold Liquid Applied Waterproofing’ RIBA-approved CPD seminar has been rigorously assessed and is worth double CPD points to RIBA Chartered Architects. Covered topics will help attendees understand how to design and the installation process of cold liquid applied waterproofing systems. Cold liquid applied waterproofing can be used for green roofs, balconies, terraces, carparks, large roofs and both commercial and domestic structures.
About Cold Liquid Applied Waterproofing
Cold liquid applied waterproofing is seamless and fully bonds to the substrate, so is ideal for use over existing roofs. If an existing waterproofing system has failed, applying a simple cold liquid waterproofing overlay can be a very cost-effective solution, and its bonding characteristics make it much more reliable. Cold applied liquid waterproofing is also suitable for new projects, particularly those with complex detailing, upstands, edge details, penetrations, and terminations.
For new structures, it is recommended that the structural design, waterproofing design, and construction processes are considered together.
About Delta
Kevin Dodds, Delta’s MD, said: “CPD, or continuing professional development, can take many forms - supporting people to enhance their knowledge aligns with Delta’s ethos of best practice in encouraging the effectiveness of understanding products, their application and ultimately creating a robust design.”
“Cold liquid applied waterproofing is a great innovation in the industry, so offering designers a better understanding of this innovative market will ensure individuals are better equipped to confidentially specify a relatively new approach to structural waterproofing”.

industry news LONDON ARCHITECTS’ PLANS FOR NEW DUBLIN BOUTIQUE-STYLE HOTEL APPROVED
Plans by London architects Studio Anyo for a new €15 million boutique hotel and leisure facility in the heart of Dublin will go ahead after the project got the green light following an appeal.
The move will see a 65-bedroomed hotel with rooftop bar, mezzanine and basement, together with ancillary facilities, created on Meeting House Lane in the north west corner of the city.
Approval to transform the site on behalf of developer Padraig Kehoe of Development 8 was secured on appeal and comes as demand from international tourism for luxury hotel and leisure accommodation in Ireland continues to recover post pandemic.
The development will be on a site surrounded by a number of significant buildings and property, including nearby offices and shops in The Capel Building, a popular local fruit market, and the former Cistercian St Mary’s Abbey Chapter House.
Studio Anyo has created an ambitious, contemporary design that will see a nine-storey mixed development featuring a hotel and restaurant complex with a spacious glazed roof-top eco-garden. The current basement roof will be removed along with the interconnected second storey building to the rear, internal floors and walls to facilitate the core structure of the new-look property.
CEO of Studio Anyo, James Walsh, who is overseeing the development and planning application, said: “We are delighted the project will now proceed. This is an exciting scheme that will see regeneration of an important site in a way that enhances its setting, while delivering environmental, social and physical improvements to benefit both occupants and the local community. “As architects, we want to see the creation of beneficial developments that will leave a long-lasting legacy. This project will undoubtedly have a big impact and contribute to a positive change to this part of Durham.”
