At Abbey Pynford Basement Engineering Specialists we recognise the importance for clients to have assurance that any basement structure is completed with the appropriate protection against water ingress from the ground. Accordingly we have invested in training our staff and offer the services of Certified Surveyors of Structural Waterproofing.
We can construct the basement shell to conform to all three types of basement waterproofing as set out in BS8102 "the code of practice for the protection of below ground structures against water from the ground." We have the capability to undertake external Type A lining, Type B water resistant concrete additives or Type 3 internal cavity drainage systems.
Basement waterproofing measures can be applied to the internal or external side of the basement structure as well as embedded within the basement shell. In particular circumstances where the local ground conditions and hydrology increase the risk of water penetrating the basement. a composite solution combining several systems are recommended to provide enhanced protection.
Tanking is a generic term used to describe traditional methods of waterproofing where water resistance is achieved by waterproofing products applied either externally, internally or sandwiched between two elements of the structure. These are not suitable in areas where the water table is likely to exert hydrostatic pressures and therefore, should not be used where the water table is either variable or high.
Type A measures ordinarily consist of a rendered water resistant layers or membrane systems, consisting of dense embedment of hydrophilic or hydrophobic material.
It is usually not possible to effectively utilise these systems externally for retrofit basements or those with piled walls as access to the external face of the basement is not possible. Furthermore in retro-fit basements it is not possible to undertake maintenance or repairs to the installed system as it is not accessible.
We are happy to utilise specified concrete additive but for workability and quality control reasons advise crystalline additives such as Kryton are utilised wherever possible.
Type B systems rely entirely on the concrete structure to prevent water ingress. This system is not suitable without additional measures if the concrete design is to BS 8110 "British Standard for the design and construction of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures"and the water table is either variable or high. Where the water table is high or variable the concrete structure can be augmented by another waterproofing system such as water resistant concrete additives. Alternatively, the structure can be designed to BS 8007 "Code of practice for design of concrete structures for retaining aqueous liquids".
The principal difference between structures designed to BS 8110 and BS 8007 is that BS8110 structures are not designed to retain liquids (as they are under BS 8007) and the design crack width is limited to 0.3mm. This in a high water table circumstance can lead to water ingress. BS8007 calls for additional steel reinforcement to limit crack widths to between 0.2mm and 0.05mm. In many instances, a reinforced concrete structure designed to BS8007 is considerably more time consuming to construct than that designed to BS8110. It is therefore preferable to adopt an additional waterproofing measure to augment a BS8110 designed structure rather than design to BS8007. There are many products available in this regard, the most notable of which are water resistant concrete additives.
These products perform their function by operating within the concrete structure itself and are applied either mixed into the concrete or to the concrete surface.
A considerable advantage of these products is that they offer increased durability, as they do not rely upon a membrane or thin layer of protection that is susceptible to puncture, ripping etc. Furthermore, they also require significantly less labour time as they are added directly to the concrete prior to placement in the structure.
These additives are broadly divided into two groups; unreactive or hydrophobic and reactive or hydrophyllic products.
function by preventing the passage of moisture by blocking pores, capillaries etc. thereby reducing the permeability of the structure. These products are usually only active during the curing process and therefore, do not protect the structure where cracks occur in joints or in the event that later cracking occurs (settlement associated for instance). These products are not therefore generally warrantied when used in suspended structures such as roofs or intermediate floors etc.
are additives in concrete that react to the occurrence of moisture by causing a chemical reaction that forms new compounds; these develop and seal cracks, pores and capillaries in the concrete. Reactive products continue to retain this capacity once the structure has cured and can reactivate later during the life of the structure. These products are predominantly crystalline in nature.
The basic premise of crystalline additives is that a chemical reaction is created in the concrete causing crystals to grow blocking capillaries, pores and hair line cracks. Once the concrete has cured, these chemicals lie dormant unless another crack develops whereupon the reaction shall reoccur and the concrete shall effectively self-heal. Manufacturers of crystalline additives claim sealing of cracks greater than 0.5mm and most issue warranties for 0.5mm.
The benefit of these products is that the useable area of the basement is maximised as subsequent layers of waterproofing are not required. Moreover, the additional time and associated cost of these works is avoided weather external or internally applied. The products also form integrally to the concrete matrix and therefore are not vulnerable to debonding as Type A systems are. Buildability is improved as the system is integrated with the concrete structure and complicated detailing is not necessary.
Reactive products are preferred to unreactive ones as they have additional benefits: as the additive retains the capacity to reactivate; the durability and longevity of the structure is increased as the concrete has continued protection from water ingress. The systems also usually have construction joints of the same additive creating a homogeneous structure reducing the likelihood of defect or debonding. These systems thus have a considerably reduced likelihood for future maintenance or repair being necessary. Moreover they are warrantied in a wider set of circumstances such as roofs and suspended floors.
Internally applied systems are best used when working within existing structures or new basements where access to the outside of the structure is not possible i.e. when close to adjacent structures or when contiguous/secant/sheet piling is used to retain the adjacent soils.
When constructing retro fit basements we recommend an internal cavity drainage system is always installed.
Cavity Drainage Membranes are plastic (polyethylene most commonly) sheet materials applied directly to structural walls. These are impervious to water and can be vapour proof. These systems achieve water resistance by trapping any penetrating water between the structure and the internal cavity system. The water drains under gravity to a sump and is either pumped from the basement or connected to an existing gravity sewer.
Where a drained cavity is used, the principal means of excluding water from the basement is the structure. The cavity drainage system is intended to cater for the remaining water ingress which may occur through the structure.
Internal finishes including insulation and plaster (plasterboard/render) can be applied directly to the face of the cavity drainage membrane thereby expediting follow on works.
Cavity drainage systems can also be installed externally with protective geotextiles and drainage measures to prevent hydrostatic pressures from developing.
Commissioning and on-going routine maintenance of the system must be undertaken by approved competent contractors to ensure that the system is operating correctly.
Care and consideration should be taken to ensure that the system is installed with a sufficient pumping capacity to cater for the total yield of the basement. There are a variety of pump options available and it is advisable that as standard a double pump unit is installed with a battery back up and alarm. In the event that one pump fails, a second ensures continued protection. A battery ensures continued operation during a power cut and alarm ensures any problems apparent immediately.
Type C cavity drainage systems are regarded as the lowest risk in basement waterproofing. This system is also regarded as the easiest to maintain and repair.

This dispenser does not pump the soap I ordered it for(the soy,crushed walnut hand soap). It may do fine for thinner liquids but I have to "short-stroke' and pound on it to get a spit out of it.After about ten to fifteen quick pumps I get enough to wash my hands.

The Oracle
Consult the Oracle and you will find enlightenment... At LawCareers.Net we often receive queries about the processes and options related to joining the legal profession. Some questions arise again and again, while others are fiendishly obscure. Each week we'll publish one of the more interesting inquiries (anonymously) and provide an informative answer. But don't worry – most letters are answered privately. Email us at email@example.com and don't forget to comment by signing into MyLC.N.
Letter of the week
What about me?
I am writing to register my frustration. I am not a young graduate, law is my second career and I did not get high A levels, although I have proved myself in the workplace. Where are the firms that are interested in people like me? The focus is always on young people with amazing academics; what if you don't fit that mould?

Paralegal my way into practice?
I know that it has become harder to secure a training contract these days, but I have also noticed that there seem to be increasing opportunities for paralegals: would becoming a paralegal be a more certain way of pursuing a career as a solicitor?
Read reply »Mastering the problem
I'm toying with the idea of doing a masters degree after my undergraduate studies. It would be a pretty expensive undertaking though. What factors should I take into account in helping me make the decision?
Read reply »Mates' rates
I have been offered a training contract that I have accepted with a firm which recently sent an advertisement to my father. He is wondering if I could ask for a "family discount" for legal advice, but, as I haven't even started yet, I think it seems a bit forward. What do you think?
Read reply »Time to teach
I did a law degree with a view to training as a lawyer, but have decided that I'm not ready for a legal career yet (although it is something that I'm interested in going back to in the future). Is there some kind of time limit after which I'll have to do my law degree again before training as a solicitor?
Read reply »Interview from abroad?
I am a penultimate-year non-law student on a year abroad and I'm looking to apply for summer vacation placements. Many firms only accept applications from final-year non-law students and hold assessment days which, because I am abroad, I could not attend. Would firms allow me to do a telephone interview?

Good luck with the IEEE efforts John. I know our standards guy Pete Anslow ...
400 GbE is the only number that makes sense, we will not be able to do a ...
400-Gbit Ethernet effort kicks off in March
John D'Ambrosia
"I feel the need – the need for speed!"
OK, so I have used that famous "Top Gun" line before, but why shouldn't I. It is probably the best line that defines my industry efforts, especially now. I just made a request for an official Call For Interest (CFI) on 400-Gigabit Ethernet at the IEEE 802 Plenary in March.
For those who care, it will be in Orlando, so come on down and make a vacation out of it. I am hopeful that I will have my Super Bowl moment: A successful CFI, followed by a trip to Disney World!
Back in 2006, I ran into a lot of opposition starting a next higher speed effort. This time around, everyone seems to understand that we have to do it. I guess the Bandwidth Assessment we did demonstrated the degree of the problem in networking.
There is also very little debate among those participating in the IEEE 802.3 Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus Ad Hoc that the next speed is 400 Gigabit. Still, I wonder if a "rate debate" will start here similar to ones I have seen on other blogs.
Among the threads of that debate, some have said the next-rate debate began raging before the 40G/100G standard had even been ratified. The relatively underwhelming success of 40G (OC-768) in the carrier community had probably initially biased some against making another big increase in speed. However, analysts covering the data center market see 40GE making significant headway, and I would argue its attraction is its cost.
Others say the industry should make the investment in a Terabit Ethernet standard. That's easy to say when it is someone else's money.
Let's remember that everyone needs to make a return-on-investment to justify their participation. To take this argument to an extreme, why not target 10 Terabit Ethernet instead?
This is not the Field of Dreams. Voices who whisper "build it and they will come" may be ignored. Simply put, Terabit Ethernet would take too long to develop, cost too much to buy and it would have a very small market. Ultimately, this work is about providing a higher capacity link at a lower cost per bit.
If we wait a little longer, Terabit Ethernet will be feasible, some may argue. On the other hand, many people are concerned about getting caught with no new solutions to address the bandwidth tsunami we all know is coming. The development of a new rate takes time, first for the standards initiative, then for the industry ecosystem and solutions.
As I listen to all these arguments, I think about the five criteria the IEEE 802 group uses--broad market potential, economic feasibility, technical feasibility, distinct identity, and compatibility. I say that, however, fully knowing that within a few years of ratifying a 400 Gigabit Ethernet standard, we will need to "get the band back together" to once again ratchet up the speed.
I don't have much choice. My friends tease me that I am not allowed to retire until Terabit Ethernet--or beyond!--is a reality.

I heard Chris Cole of Finisar propose this data rate at an Ethernet Alliance event about two years ago. Made sense then, makes sense now.
400 GbE is the only number that makes sense, we will not be able to do a Terabit...and even for 400 GbE it will have to be a parallel I/O interface, a serial 400 GHz driver is not in cards in CMOS...Kris
Good luck with the IEEE efforts John. I know our standards guy Pete Anslow agrees with you that 400GbE is the logical next step, as he detailed here: http://www.ciena.com/connect/blog/400GbE-versus-Terabit-Ethernet-First-steps-toward-an-answer.html

LOS ANGELES (The New York Times News Service) -- Britney Spears has done it -- same as Demi Moore and Amber Rose.
Even the young star Willow Smith recently debuted a freshly shaved head.
But for most women in America, their hair is associated with their beauty. So if shaving their head is out of the question, having female-pattern baldness would likely be considered taboo.
"I think that in the male world, being bald is oftentimes not as big of a deal, but most women don't feel comfortable being bald," said Dr. Glynis Ablon, an assistant professor at UCLA and owner of Ablon Skin Institute in Manhattan Beach.
"I mean, unless you're this absolutely gorgeous woman who just has this perfect face and everything is perfect about you, women use their hair as a sign of their beauty."
One of those women is Stacy Cox, who began losing her hair when the stress of her divorce started taking a physical toll.
Cox never thought such a thing could happen to her -- after all, she was only in her 30s and was often praised for her beautiful hair. Not to mention she made a living as an aesthetician at her Studio City spa Pampered People and as an on-camera beauty consultant, regularly appearing on "Dr. Oz" and "The View," among other shows.
But as she learned, hair loss doesn't discriminate.
"It's a conversation, a dialogue that has to be brought up in social media," Cox said. "And the moment you do that, everyone starts shaking their head. It's like a sisterhood. Everyone is like, 'Yes, I'm having that problem,' 'I'm having that problem, too, what do you do?' It's a very bonding, unifying topic."
Women make up 40 percent of those that suffer hair loss, according to the American Hair Loss Association.
There are two main categories when it comes to hair loss, which is clinically known as alopecia.
Scarring alopecias -- which are much harder to treat and sometimes irreversible -- are generally caused by inflammation that results in the hair follicle being destroyed. Some causes of this include cutaneous lupus erythematosus (a form of lupus), chemicals or alopecia mucinosa, according to the American Skin Association.
Non-scarring alopecias are more common and include male and female pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia), alopecia areata, and hair loss due to aging, hormones, stress or nutrition.
So the first thing Ablon does when a patient comes to her office is determine whether there could be an underlying condition causing the hair loss.
This is true for men and women, though the pattern in which they lose their hair is often different between the genders.
"Women tend to initially start off with a different pattern, definitely doesn't go across the board, but typically it's a little bit different pattern," Ablon said. "Men typically will start to lose that frontal hairline, where women will typically retain that frontal hairline and get thinning profusely on the top of the scalp, but it's not 100 percent."
In Cox's case, she began noticing chunks of hair falling out around the crown of her head when she took showers.
She began taking a variety of pills such as biotin supplements and horsetail extract, trying to curtail the problem. And then she found a pill that offered everything she was looking for in a single form.
Viviscal is an all-natural supplement with ingredients such as AminoMar C Marine Complex that is proprietary to the company, horsetail extract, vitamin C and other antioxidants and proteins that help strengthen hair and support hair growth.
Using the supplement, her hair grew back and she was so pleased with the results she continues taking it twice a day.
"As an aesthetician, I'm encouraging my clients to stay on the supplement because of so many, I'm finding, far-reaching benefits by taking all of the antioxidants and proteins involved in the ingredients," Cox said.
"My nails have never been longer, which for an aesthetician is terrible so I'm constantly getting manicures. My hair looks back to what I normally look like. And my skin looks great. And again, this is an all-natural product and that's really important."
Though the company conducted its own clinical trials to prove Viviscal's efficiency, Ablon wanted her own proof.
She brought the product into her office about a year ago, began using it on a few patients and saw phenomenal results, she says.
Ablon then decided to do her own study. Currently five months into the process, she says the three-month data is unheard of.
"We're seeing over 100 percent hair growth where patients were actually counting the hairs, say (they start) at 200 to 300, they are seeing 400 to 600 after the three months," Ablon said. "So it's really dramatic and it's all statistically significant and our patients are thrilled. We even have twins in the study and one is actually on the placebo and one is not and you can see a huge difference."
Ablon's study includes men and women ranging in age from 20 to 70. She adds that there have been no side effects or adverse events at all.
There are two forms of Viviscal. One is professional strength, available only through a doctor, and the other is over the counter, though both are made from natural supplements. Cost for a one-month supply is $60 for professional strength, $50 for the over-the-counter version.
Ablon's study used the professional strength for non-scarring alopecias. She recently presented the data from her study at the South Beach Symposium in Miami and hopes to publish the data by summer.
While there are other forms of hair loss treatment including prescription medications and sprays such as minoxidil, Ablon says those drugs often have side effects and have not been shown to be as effective.
"The bottom line is that it's something that can be treated. I think a lot of people try to hide it and are sticking extensions in their hair and things like that. The problem of course is that all that damages the hair," Ablon said.
"Anything you can do naturally, safely, that can help you grow hair and nails, to me is a no-brainer."
What Cox wants women who are suffering from hair loss to know is that they are not alone, and it's never too late to start trying for a solution.
Just like the skin, hair ages, she says. And just like people use anti-aging creams and lotions to help their skin, she says these supplements can continue helping their hair over the years.
"It's never too late. Don't be apathetic," Cox said. "Sometimes women in their 50s say 'Eh, it's too late for me.' It's never too late, apathy gets you nowhere. Action, mobilizing and getting in the conversation ... that creates solutions."

All My Relatives: Spirit Lake Nation
- Overview
- More Info
- Publisher: Red Eye Video
- Usually ships in: 1 to 3 business days
- Product ##: 3627
Producer Mary John had spent her early years with her grandparents near Fort Totten. In this program, she returns to the reservation and tells her story through a combination of family research, and oral history from tribal elders. This program gives us the untold story of reservation life: the realities of life for Indian people as it was experienced after the buffalo were gone, under the thumb of federal policies, during the period leading to the present day.
Beginning with the turn of the century, "All My Relatives" examines government policies, assimilation, and tribal evolution. The program shows how the near loss and recovery of the Native American identity, customs and beliefs are issues that still affect the present generation.
About the film, Mary says, "I want the audience to understand that our culture and heritage has survived and that, despite adversity and loss, it continues to this day. While Indian people have faced terrible and demoralizing experiences, we have also retained our strength, our culture and our hopes."
