Case Study

Ensuring effective drainage with Cavidrain® for Sydney Opera House project

Effective drainage with Cavidrain® for Sydney Opera House Hero

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.

Our client's trust in Global Synthetics stemmed from our successful track record in supplying products for major infrastructure works across Australia. With our extensive range of geotechnical engineering solutions and technical expertise, we consistently deliver significant benefits to diverse projects.

The Western Waterproofing and Paving Project at the Sydney Opera House showcases our commitment to providing reliable and efficient waterproofing solutions. By utilising Cavidrain® S6U, we ensure the preservation of internal space, ease of handling, quick installation, and cost-effectiveness.
