                2.   INTRODUCTION 
                 
                The dictionary definition for waterproof basement construction is “a basement construction 
                impervious to water ingress.” This can only be achieved when all three components of 
                basement construction (basement  wall,  basement  wall to footing/slab junction, and 
                footing/slab)  are  impervious  to  water.  The water  ingress into  the  basement  may be 
                prevented by applying membranes covering all three components. This is called a fully 
                tanked basement solution. 
                 
                A fully tanked basement solution is: 
                 
                    Expensive and time consuming to install. 
                    May result in the loss of extensive commercial space behind the wall. 
                    Is not 100% reliable. 
                    In the event of failure, point of failure is all but impossible to determine. 
                 
                Australia does not have a basement construction code. Many Australian professionals 
                follow BS8102 – British Basement Construction Code as a guidance. 
                 
                The Australian requirement is to minimise ground water intake and reduce energy demand 
                and  maintenance  of drainage  pump-out systems  as stated in the following NSW 
                Government-document. 
                https://www.industry.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/343291/minimum-
                requirements.pdf   
                 
                A basement is a space for carparking or commercial use located below the natural ground 
                and usually below public street level which is accessed with a driveway ramp. The rainwater 
                from driveway ramps has to be collected and discharged to the public sewer/stormwater 
                outlet with a pump-out system.   
                Considering it is not possible to eliminate the use of a pump-out system for the majority of 
                cases, the most logical solution is to minimise ground water intake around the basement 
                walls and collect the water with dish drains. These dish drains, which are connected to the 
                pump-out system, can also be used for the collection of water for general cleaning purposes 
                and possible burst basement sprinkler systems.  
                 
                For the reasons explained later, the installation of a fully tanked basement is risky 
                and not a viable solution ether financially or practically
                                                                        . It is therefore most logical to 
                limit the ground water intake to AS3735-2001 (standard for testing Concrete Structures 
                Retaining Liquids)  complaint  seepage rate  which is significantly better than the 
                seepage  rate solution  presented in BS8102 for  Basement  Car  Parking  areas. 
                Australian guidance also recommends the use of cavity drains (i.e., ventilated double wall 
                and cavity drain in between) if the basement is to be used for habitable space purposes.
