CIVIL WORKS Drained and Waterproof tunnel construction Alternative In conventional drill and blast or roadheader excavated tunnels, the Platon Tunnel Membrane creates a drainage layer on top of the initial support or smoothing layer shotcrete before casting the final concrete liner. This is an alternative to the traditional geotextile and flat flexible waterproofing membrane solution. The drained water is collected in the drain along the edges of the foundation. Build up 1.

CIVIL WORKS Drained and Waterproof tunnel construction In both TBM and drill and blast tunnels it may be preferable to use a flat waterproof liner with a drainage layer between the rock or concrete surface and the waterproofing liner. Platon Tunnel Membrane maintains a drainage capacity and also protects the flexible liner from rough rock or schotcrete surface. Installation The Tunnel Membrane is mechanically fixed to the tunnel surface, where the fixings include a roundel to which the waterproofing membrane can be fixed. The Platon Membrane can have flat flanges on both sides for seam welding,...

CIVIL WORKS Tanked tunnel construction Other applications A protective layer which can be injected into Platon as a drainage layer – the “Umbrella Solution” In low cost tunnels and access roads in mines etc, a layer of Platon Tunnel Membrane will divert water to the drainage channels along the tunnel invert or floor. Overlaps can be sealed if needed. 1. Untreated rock or shotcrete 2. Platon Tunnel Membrane 3. Drainage collection system Platon Tunnel Membrane protects the waterproofing membrane against damage. Waterstop is welded to the waterproofing membrane, creating sections at the length of...

CIVIL WORKS Platon P20 – for increased Drainage Capacity The drainage capacity of Platon P 20 is many times higher than that of Platon Tunnel Membrane, providing even more security. Thanks to the volume of the air gap, 14 l/m2, P20 offers high drainage capacity to deal with higher volume or even extreme volume water ingress. Build up 1. Tunnel wall surface 2. Platon P20 3.
