The Limes

Structural Waterproofing
For the luxury development “The Limes” in Leamington Spa, we were consulted during design to create a multi-use basement with Type A & C waterproofing.

The Project

When Housestyle Countrywide Ltd were granted planning permission to undertake the development of The Limes, they soon realised that due to the proximity of the adjacent properties, a large basement would be necessary to maximise space.

It was constructed with secant piling and a ground-bearing concrete slab to house a large car park, dry storage areas and plant rooms. We were approached by the architects, Richie & Richie LLP from the very first instance to provide a system that would comply with both BS.

The Challenges

  • The site’s ground survey showed it’s in dense clay
  • The water table was remarkably high
  • Mixed-use basement demanded a robust waterproofing plan
  • Work constraints led to winter waterproofing installation

Our Approach

Our CSSW-certified team collaborated with architects and engineers to tailor waterproofing for the basement—Grade 1 for the car park and Grade 3 elsewhere. The car park featured a self-healing membrane, while habitable spaces had an 8mm HDPE drainage membrane linked to pumping stations.

The Result

This was a complex project with a number of potential issues, including very high water tables and restricted access. By working with the architects from the design stage, we were able to provide a suitable system within budget that met the client’s strict requirements.

Customer Insights

We have been delighted to work with Housestyle Countrywide Ltd on this project. It is exactly the size and type of interesting project we enjoy working on. Our work has been received very well, and we have gained a further waterproofing project with Housestyle in Leamington Spa as a result.
