Webinar/Course Description: 

This one-hour course will cover electronic leak detection (ELD) test methods that can be used as part of the quality control program for roofing and waterproofing membranes. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM D7877-14, Standard Guide for Electronic Methods for Detecting and Locating Leaks in Waterproof Membranes, and ASTM D8231-19, Standard Practice for the Use of a Low Voltage Electronic Scanning System for Detecting and Locating Breaches in Roofing and Waterproofing Membranes. Learners will also be able to identify which roof assemblies and systems are compatible with ELD testing.

Webinar/Course Objectives:

1.  Recognize the differences between the four ELD test methods for roofing and waterproofing membranes.
2.  Understand the capabilities and limitations of ELD testing as outlined in ASTM D7877 and ASTM D8231.
3.  Learn how ELD testing can be used to identify potential future design and construction failures based on analyzed data from real-time construction monitoring.
4.  Identify different applications and functions of fully monitored ELD systems.
