What is Visqueen Protect & Drain?

Visqueen Protect&Drain is a geocomposite void former comprising a cuspated high density polyethylene (HDPE) core, bonded to a nonwoven polypropylene geotextile filter membrane.

The product is supplied in rolls and available in the following three thicknesses; 6mm (970mm x 25m), 12mm (1m x 25m) and 25mm (900mm x 25m).

Visqueen Protect&Drain is used for below ground waterproofng applications where an externally applied Type A barrier membrane (tanking membrane) protection layer is required combined with an integral sub surface drainage layer. The product forms a void to collect and transmit water into adjacent sub surface drainage outlets or collector pipes and so reduce the risk of a head of water (hydrostatic pressure) forming against the structure.

Typical applications include use as part of a groundwater management system for slab edges, retaining walls, basement walls and lift pit walls. Product selection should be based on the groundwater risks highlighted in the site ground investigation report. Although typically used on vertical substrates, the product can also be used on horizontal substrates.

When designing structural waterproofing in accordance with BS8102: 2009, it is advised to assume that groundwater will come to bear on the full height of the retaining structure at some point during its lifetime. Incorporating Visqueen Protect&Drain into the groundwater management design reduces the risk of a head of water forming against the structure.

Protect&Drain 25mm can also be used as a protection layer for externally applied ground gas Type A barrier membranes (tanking membranes). The void created should be continuous with the below slab ventilation or pressure relief system.
