Case Study
Ensuring effective drainage with Cavidrain® for Sydney Opera House project
Project Name: Western Waterproofing and Paving Project (WWPP)
Location: Sydney Opera House
Client: Seymour Whyte
The Project
The Sydney Opera House, a UNESCO World Heritage site and an architectural masterpiece, required a comprehensive waterproofing solution as part of the Western Waterproofing and Paving Project. Our client, Seymour Whyte, have been entrusted with the responsibility of executing this project and sought our expertise to provide a drainage system that would meet their requirements.
The Challenge
With the Sydney Opera House's historical, aesthetic, and technical significance, it was crucial to find a drainage system solution that could be easily handled, quick to install, and cost-effective while ensuring superior performance.
Our Solution
Our Cavidrain® S6U building drainage, a preformed cavity drainage system, emerged as the ideal solution for buried structure waterproofing. Designed for use in both new and existing structures, this innovative drainage geocomposite offers multiple benefits.
Cavidrain® S6U enables fast-track construction. Its high-strength core withstands the compressive loads associated with wet concrete placement, and once the concrete is poured, it fills the back of the dimples, maximising load capacity.
