WATERPROOFING A PRESSURE TUNNEL WITH A DRAINED POLYVI-NYLCHLORIDE MEMBRANE COMPOSITE

The paper describes application of a waterproofing drained membrane system to a pressure tunnel in the Italian Alps. The system allowed to restore impermeability and to dehydrate the natural soil of impregnation water, without decreasing the water flow. The system is capable of bridging joints and cracks, even in case of seismic events
