Joseph Macicak presents "Subgrade Waterproofing – Considerations for Specifiers" at the Construction Specifications Institute, Chicago Chapter Roundtable

Effective subgrade waterproofing systems can be relatively simple for some projects and exceedingly complex for others. Specifiers need to be aware of the existing jobsite conditions and details of the design that may affect the installation and performance of subgrade water proofing systems. The roundtable will discuss some fundamental parameters that should be considered in order to develop efficient and effective subgrade waterproofing specifications.
