Aussie Dual 550G System

Aussie Dual 550G System

The AVM Dual Layer System combines two advanced waterproofing technologies: Aussie Clay 590 and Aussie Skin 550G. This heavy-duty below-grade waterproofing solution features a self-sealing sodium bentonite layer that can swell up to 15 times its original size and a fully bonded, puncture-resistant 50 mil HDPE sheet. This dual-layer approach creates a robust, long-lasting barrier that adheres tightly to concrete, preventing water migration even in high-risk shotcrete applications with hydrostatic conditions.

Where to Use

  • Retaining walls
  • Shotcrete walls
  • Basements
  • Under-slabs
  • Mud-slabs
  • Permanent formwork (e.g., lagging)
  • Existing back-filled structural walls
  • Smoothly prepared concrete substrates
  • Compacted earth or crushed stone substrates

Key Features

  • Permanent Bond to Concrete — Ensures a continuous waterproofing barrier by forming an integral bond with poured concrete.
  • Puncture Resistant — Durable HDPE layer withstands construction-related stresses and protects against damage.
  • Easy Installation — Designed for straightforward application, reducing labor time and costs.
  • Cost-Effective System — Provides long-term waterproofing protection at a competitive price.
