## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to design comprehensive basement waterproofing systems. By analyzing hydrostatic pressure, soil permeability, and water table levels, it determines the optimal waterproofing strategy. Use `analyze_waterproofing_strategy` to decide between tanking or drainage approaches, `design_membrane_system` to select appropriate materials, `calculate_drainage_specs` for sump and pump requirements, and `evaluate_structural_integrity` to verify safety factors against hydrostatic loads.

## Tools

### calculate_drainage_specs
Designs the physical drainage layer and sump components

### design_membrane_system
Specifies the appropriate membrane type and material properties

### evaluate_structural_integrity
Checks if the proposed design meets safety standards

### analyze_waterproofing_strategy
Determines whether the design should follow a tanking, drainage, or hybrid approach

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Analyze a waterproofing strategy for a 4m deep basement with a water table at 2m and high soil permeability.
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended strategy is a Hybrid approach due to the high permeability and active hydrostatic pressure from the water table being above the floor level.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What membrane should I use for a C35/45 concrete with aggressive chemical exposure?
```

**Response:** 
```
An Industrial grade HDPE membrane with a thickness of 3.5mm is recommended to provide high chemical resistance.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the drainage requirements for a site with 1e-5 m/s permeability and a 5m basement depth.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required drainage layer thickness is 150mm, with a sump capacity of 500L and a pump flow rate of 2.5 Lps.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I decide between tanking and drainage?**
You should use the `analyze_waterproofing_strategy` tool. It evaluates soil permeability and water table levels to recommend a tanking (barrier) or drainage (relief) approach.

**Can this tool verify if my concrete is strong enough?**
Yes, the `evaluate_structural_integrity` tool calculates the safety factor by comparing the applied hydrostatic load against the specified concrete grade.

**What information is needed for drainage calculations?**
To use `calculate_drainage_specs`, you need to provide the soil permeability, basement depth, water table level, and the chosen strategy type.
