Tunnel Waterproofing
Tunnels can vary in size from small service ducts to water pipelines to the large-bore tunnels used for road and rail. Waterproofing methods will vary depending on factors such as the construction method used to build the tunnel, the type of ground through which the tunnel is built, and the level of dryness required inside the tunnel.

The Drybase range of cementitious waterproofing products and the Oldroyd range of cavity drainage membranes both have tunnel waterproofing applications. Solutions are also available for the refurbishment of existing tunnels.
Drybase products with tunnel and pipeline waterproofing applications include:
The Oldroyd Gtx range are cavity drainage membranes with a welded geotextile mesh. They have applications as a drainage layer in cut and cover tunnel construction. Oldroyd Xv 20 (high flow capacity cavity drainage membrane) also has applications in tunnel waterproofing and drainage.
The Oldroyd Gtx range consists of cavity drainage membranes with a geotextile mesh welded to one side (often referred to as ‘geocomposite membranes’ or ‘geocomposites’). The geotextile mesh filters out the ‘fines’ in the groundwater, preventing them from causing blockages in other areas of the drainage system, making Oldroyd Xv 20 ideal for basement waterproofing and drainage applications
