2. Structure 2.3 Basement Structure
The site is located within a flood plain. For this reason, extra measures are taken to prevent water ingress into the basement area. The detail in fig. 2 shows a 500mm retaining wall sealed in a waterproof membrane. A drainage cavity exists to capture any possible water ingress throughout the building life. An inner lining of blockwork is laid on top of a concrete upstand.
