Membranes generally refer to a thin layer or sheet-like material used to provide a barrier or protect against moisture, gases, or other elements. In construction and building projects, membranes are often used for waterproofing and roofing purposes. Tanking involves the installation of a waterproof barrier or tanking system to prevent the ingress of water or other substances into a structure or building. This can include techniques such as applying waterproof coatings, installing drainage systems, or using specialist waterproofing materials. BS 8102 is a British Standard that provides guidance on the design and construction of buildings below ground level, including the use of tanking and waterproofing systems. It sets out recommendations for the types of materials and systems that should be used to protect against water ingress, depending on the severity of the site conditions and the intended use of the building.
