    Drainage

    Protecto-drain 20

    Uses

    • Heavier groundworks including tunnel lining and road construction
    • Waterproofing and protection layer between layers of concrete
    • To seal building envelopes on new build including foundations
    • To manage and control subterranean water by channeling to effective drainage

    By sticking to simple principles of not stopping water but redirecting it, hydrostatic pressure points are prevented.

    Fixing

    • Sheets are bonded together by overlapping cups and sealing with tape
    • Can be taped with double sided tape or mechanically fixed with nails and special waterproofing plugs
