Eliminating the Risk of Air Voids in Concrete WallsNovember 2024

Voids in concrete walls are a common challenge in the construction industry, presenting serious risks to a building’s structural integrity. If not addressed, these air pockets can result in various complications, including reduced load-bearing capacity and potential structural failure, making it crucial to understand the factors that contribute to their formation to tackle the issue effectively.

Key Issues & Attributes To Consider When Selecting DincelSeptember 2024

Permanent Polymer Formwork (PPF), such as Dincel, consists of a PVC shell which is filled with conventional or Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). PPF walls are different to conventional concrete walls such as precast or walls cast in-situ with removable formwork or masonry walls and have significant advantages over these conventional walling types, which will be discussed later in this paper.

Does Thermal Image Scanning Detect Air Voids?August 2024

Thermal Image cameras do not act as x-ray machines.Thermal imaging detects temperature at the surface of an object and displays on a screen different colours depending on temperature.

Can Basement Mould Affect The Rest Of The Building?July 2024

If you design a basement that is susceptible to mould, you are likely contributing to a building that is non-compliant with the National Construction Code’s mould and mildew regulations. This whitepaper discusses the issues surrounding basement mould and how recent studies and industry developments are impacting the design and specification of basement waterproofing solutions.

A Guide to NCC Fire ComplianceMay 2024

With fire regulations constantly evolving, fire compliance is critical for building professionals. It is thus timely to examine current fire compliance requirements, the methods to prove compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), and how these issues relate to polymer formwork wall systems for internal and external walls.

Water Leaking At The Basement WallApril 2024

With rising urban densities, building height restrictions and owners looking to add value to their property, the inclusion of basements and other habitable below-ground spaces in new builds is quickly becoming common practice throughout Australia. Due to this trend, there is now a greater demand for effective waterproofing design and installation solutions that will ensure the success of projects for all parties involved.

Does Your Insurance Cover Leaking Walls And/Or Mould/Mildew?March 2024

Does Your Building Comply With Mould/Mildew Requirements of NCC-2022 & NSW Water Management Act?January 2024

The health of building occupants can be affected if the internal surface of an external (façade and basement) wall demonstrates mould/mildew and fungus development. There are two conditions for these problems to emerge: (a) the presence of water vapour and (b) the availability of nutrients.
