DELTA®-MS 20 - Vertical Underground Applications

DELTA®-MS 20 can be economically applied on vertical surfaces as a high capacity drainage layer between a shotcrete layer (diaphragm wall) and the structural concrete wall. The shotcrete of the diaphragm wall acts like a filter and keeps the seepage layer free from ground soil particles.

Properties

With its 20 mm studs and very high drainage capacity, DELTA®-MS 20 is ideally suited as a reliable high performance seepage and drainage layer in blind-side applications against shotcreted surfaces.

Material

Studded membrane made of special, high-density polyethylene.

Application

DELTA®-MS 20 can be used between shotcrete installations or diaphragm walls and cast-in-place concrete walls. The shotcrete or the diaphragm wall acts like a filter and keeps the seepage layer free from ground soil particles.

This procedure allows to:

  • deliberately deflect and drain away water during the construction phase so as not to obstruct the process of setting and curing of the concrete.
  • drain away water to eliminated build-up of hydrostatic pressure on completed structures.
  • bring the groundwater level around the building to a common low level and maintain a low hydrostatic load against waterproofing layers subjected to water pressure.
