Wrimco Waterproofing Co -

W-VersiCell drainage cells eliminate the need for an additional protection layer when installed with a waterproofing membrane. W-VersiCell drainage cells when installed between roof decks and pavers or ballast, reduce sound transmission and increase heat insulation.

Unlike drainage sheets or other drainage cells, W-VersiCell drainage cells are able to withstand loads imposed by wheel burrows and mechanical equipment such as Bobcats.

Available as 20 mm and 30 mm high modules, W-VersiCell modules interlock in the same plane or at right angles to one another or may be butted together.

Benefits

Modular drainage cells offer numerous benefits including:

Lightweight modules that allow easy handling and installation

Approximately 2% of gravel aggregate weight for the same discharge capacity

More predictable drainage capacity than gravel

Narrow profile enables a greater soil depth to be utilised in planter beds, compared to gravel, allowing the use of a wider variety of landscape plants

Relief of hydrostatic pressure on retaining walls

Support US LEED credits

Features

W-VersiCell drainage cells offer several unique features including:

High compressive strength in excess of 100t/m²

High surface void area and internal void volume resulting
in efficient water capture and discharge rates

Modules that may be interlocked in one plane or at right angles to
one another

Resistance to biological attack and to a wide range of soil-borne chemicals

Large pre-assembled panels that allow rapid installation and minimise on-site disruption
