CSI Webinar:
Avoid Wall Flashing Leaks: Material Options for Through-Wall Flashing
THURSDAY, 2- 3PM ET
Speaker: Derek McCowan, P.E.
Credit: 1.0 AIA LUs, 1.0 PDHs
Cost: Member: $75.00, Non Member: $95.00
Based on the article in the November 2011 issue of the Construction Specifier, this webinar discusses concealed building components such as built-in wall flashings are often modified or eliminated as part of the value engineering process. While these hidden components add little to the building's visual appearance, wall flashings are essential parts of its weather protection system. Often, decisions made in the name of cost efficiency provide very modest monetary savings when compared to the resulting degradation in reliability and durability. The speaker looks at various building failures and explores what could have been done differently to provide a better chance for success. The presentation takes a critical, balanced look at various flashing system options, detailing the associated advantages and drawbacks.
Learning Objectives

Construction: How to Turn Bad Weather Into Good Opportunities
Feb 10, 2012 Since many construction projects are weather dependent, many contractors find themselves with idle time on rain or snow days. Some contractors spend the inside time catching up on paperwork, while others will use the bad weather to take some downtime. However, there are other ways you can use your inside days to help grow your business. Follow Up with Past Clients and Meet New Ones Bad weather days are an ideal time to focus on marketing and generating new business. One strategy is to check in with past clients or other contacts to see if they are ready to move forward on projects they have mentioned to you in the past. Bill Leys, owner of The Deck Expert, uses bad weather days to follow up with clients who have had their deck patched to see if they want the deck repaired correctly. "It often works, and even just the follow up can result in a referral to a neighbor or friend," Leys said. Making new contacts is another productive use of bad weather days. Many contractors find that visiting businesses that are expanding or renovating is a great way to make new contacts. Meeting with real estate agents and mortgage brokers to help establish a mutual beneficiary relationship can also help generate future business. Online and Content Marketing Being known as an expert in your field is a great way to get your name out and build a strong reputation. Find blogs in your field and ask if you can guest blog on a topic you are knowledgeable about. Contact local magazines and volunteer to write an informative article on your field, such as clearing simple drain clogs and repairs that can make homes more energy efficient. Leys gets online in bad weather to help generate future business and get his name out. "Rain, however, is why we get business from the many leaks that occur. So I take to the Internet posting and tweeting on clearing decks of debris, what to check for and offering free inspections," said Leys. Another productive task for rainy days is networking on LinkedIn. Connect with past customers and ask for recommendations. Make connections with local business people, customers and other people in the construction industry. If there is a particular business or Realtor you would like to work with, look on LinkedIn to see if you have any common connections and ask for an introduction. Look Toward the Future Instead of paying bills and other administrative tasks, take some time to analyze the trends of your business. Are you currently seeing a rise in specific types of jobs? Are certain projects yielding you higher profit margins because your material costs have decreased in those areas? Are you currently utilizing your workers in the best way? After looking at each area of your business for patterns and trends, determine any adjustments that you need to make going forward. While looking at your numbers, take some time to see if you are on track for your business goals for the year. If you are falling behind then analyze where you can make changes. Set higher goals if the year is turning out better than expected. If you have not set specific goals this year, determine specific and measurable goals for your business. Business owners often find that putting their goals in writing is a very effective step. Save Inside Construction Work for Rainy Days Many contractors find that an effective strategy is to plan jobs so they do the work requiring their crew to be outside on the good weather days.Then they have inside work on the days when the weather does not cooperate. This is an especially effective strategy if you are working in a cold-weather climate or during a rainy season when the odds of encountering bad weather are high. Jamie Bean, owner of Bean Builders, Inc., uses this strategy to help keep his jobs on schedule. "I have my framing crew save building stairways or non structural walls for rainy or snowy days. Plumbers would save rough-ins and get the sewer and water line trenches dug during fair weather days," Bean said. By taking time before bad weather hits to come up with a plan, you will be more likely to use bad weather days to create good opportunities. Time spent furthering your business day will keep you busy for many sunny days to come. Jennifer Gregory is a journalist with over 17 years professional writing experience.

We also share with you the 1-step construction joint dampproofing method Kryton has introduced. Read about the pre and post application points you should consider for this procedure. Lastly, we feature the concrete waterproofing for a swimming and diving pool that will be used by future Olympians of Malaysia!
Happy Reading!
The Kryton Editorial Team
HIGHEST CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE
IN THE WORLD
Considered the world's highest cable-stayed bridge in the world, the Baluarte Bicentennial Bridge will be the main transportation link between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean when it opens in late 2012. Sitting 403 meters (1,321 feet) above ground, the bridge is gravity-defying. The bridge deck is so high, that the Eiffel Tower can fit beneath it, or alternatively two Washington Monuments stacked on top of one another. In addition to sheer height, the terrain is so rough that it is called the Devil's Backbone by locals.
This superhighway will cost $1.5 billion and is predicted to cut driving time drastically between Durango and Mazatlan. Featuring a four-lane roadway 20 meters (66 feet) wide, by 1,124 meters (3,688 feet) long, and has 76 steel cables to form 152 suspenders in a two plane semi-fan layout.
But most importantly, this infrastructure is designed to bridge both social and economic developments to this region, which in the past have been difficult to access and govern. With opportunities to gain better access to this region, Mexican officials have plans to instill a stronger rule of law and reduce crime.

The 403 meter (1,321 feet) high concrete ribbon has set a new record as the highest cable-stayed bridge in the world.
1-step joint dampproofing saves time if your joint is not below-grade or subject to
water pressure.
1 STEP CONSTRUCTION JOINT DAMPPROOFING
There is a unique 1-step construction joint dampproofing method that you may consider for your project using Kryton's Krystol Waterstop Treatment™. In addition to installation time savings, one can expected other benefits such as ease of inspection and flexible scheduling.
Here are some things to consider for this method:
Location: Is the construction joint located below grade and subject to water pressure? If so, this procedure is not suitable. Alternatively use Kryton's instructions for waterproofing construction joints here. Read the detailed instructions here.
Surface Preparation: Consider using a high press water blaster to effectively clean and saturate the joint in one step. Surface preparation is critical in ensuring good bonding.
Protection: After applying the Krystol Waterstop Treatment, be sure to protect it from wind and direct sunlight. Sunshades, or windbreaks made from wood or plastic sheeting offer effective protection in most cases.

SEKOLAH SUKAN SABAH
Sekolah Sukan Sabah is one of Malaysia's first sports schools that are designed to train potential Olympians in a single integrated facility. The state-of-the-art center features amenities for every imaginable sport, including both swimming and diving categories. As the pools would be utilized daily, the waterproofing solution would have to effectively resist heavy usage, chlorine and hydrostatic pressure.
The project owners began to look for a solutions provider that could present a permanent and effective product. Several concrete waterproofing options were presented, but not all companies were able to provide case studies of projects in the Kota Kinabalu region.
Kryton was able to present a strong case with their Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®) which was used in the neighboring Marina Bay Sands project. With the recommendation of the design engineer, Kryton was able to demonstrate their ability to take the risk out of concrete waterproofing. Over 1,100 cubic meters (38,800 cubic feet) of concrete was treated with KIM, which was used to construct the swimming pool, diving pool and deck areas. Following an inspection, the design engineer said that KIM performed exactly as it stipulated in the technical data sheets.

Built to train the future Olympians of Malaysia, Sekolah Sukan Sabah features Olympic-sized swimming and diving pools which were waterproofed with KIM.

Press Release PCA opens register of waterproofing design specialists UK trade body the Property Care Association (PCA) is to launch a new register of waterproofing design specialists
Press Release PCA opens register of waterproofing design specialists UK trade body the Property Care Association (PCA) is to launch a new register of waterproofing design specialists
Posted: 1 February 2012
This press release has received 2 unique views (Source: Google API)
This new list of experts is being created as a response to a requirement in the recent British Standard BS 8102:2009 -the Code of Practice for the Protection of Structures Against Water From The Ground.
This British Standard sets out a need for any design team creating underground rooms to include a recognised waterproofing specialist for the project.
The register is now open to PCA members who meet the requirements of the scheme, and operate within the structural waterproofing industry.
A place on the register is granted to an individual and is based on his or her skills, knowledge and experience. All members listed on the register of waterproofing design specialist must also carry Professional Indemnity Insurance and be a participant in the PCA Continuous Professional Development (CPD) scheme.
Steve Hodgson, general manager of the PCA, said: "BS 8102:2009 states that a waterproofing specialist should be included as part of the design team so that an integrated waterproofing solution is created.
"The code says that waterproofing specialist should be suitably experienced, be capable of devising solutions that accommodate the various project constraints and needs, and provide the design team with information and guidance that assists with and influences the design, installation and future maintenance of the waterproofed structure.
"Until now there has been no register or central point where people with this level of expertise can be located.
"Most surveyors who have obtained this qualification are embedded within companies and so finding the qualified people quickly and efficiently can be difficult.
"Now, the availability of this list will ensure that a properly-vetted and approved waterproofing design specialist is available and accessible to the leader of any design team that has to consider buildings that are wholly or partly below ground.
"It will enable architects and builders to quickly identify individual practitioners who can design and plan underground waterproofing and so conform with the recommendations set out in BS8102."
To find out more about the waterproofing design specialist register please contact hannah@property-care.org or telephone 0844 375 4301.
More details can also be found at http://www.property-care.org/waterproofing-design-specialist.
