Join us for an in-depth seminar on the latest updates to the CSA S413 Parking Garage Design Standard, focusing on key changes in waterproofing, protection systems, and expansion joint seals. Additionally, we will cover best practices for diagnosing and repairing common waterproofing failures, including identifying typical causes, selecting appropriate repair methods, and avoiding common pitfalls. This seminar is tailored for contractors, designers, building owners, and industry professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of parking garages. This seminar will equip you with practical insights to enhance the durability and performance of parking structures—whether in new construction or restoration projects.
