Internal Waterproofing Works for Lift Shafts at Emsworth House Nursing Care Home

Emsworth House Nursing Care Home requires specialist internal waterproofing works to address water ingress in two existing lift shafts. The project involves applying an approved waterproofing system (such as Sika or equivalent products) to a minimum height of 150mm above external ground level to mitigate groundwater penetration into the lift pits. Works must be performed by a contractor experienced with specialist waterproofing products and systems. The scope may require temporary relocation of existing lift equipment and low-level services, with potential support from the term maintenance contractor for disconnection, relocation, and reinstatement. To ensure successful application and performance, works should be scheduled during summer months when the groundwater table is lower and lift pits can dry to required moisture content levels. Each lift will be out of service for approximately 2-3 days, requiring careful coordination to minimize disruption to the care home's operations and resident services.
