Retaining wall membranes (Tanking)
Tanking Solutions That Hold the Line
Tanking isn't forgiving of shortcuts. Proper surface preparation, correct application thickness, and appropriate membrane selection determine whether your retaining wall stays dry or becomes a problem that follows you for years. These membranes are designed specifically for the punishment that below-grade conditions dish out - freeze-thaw cycles, soil chemicals, constant moisture exposure, and relentless water pressure.
AMI P96 Black
Purpose-built for retaining walls, basements, and below-grade structures where water intrusion isn't an option. This robust bitumen-modified membrane creates an impermeable barrier against groundwater and hydrostatic pressure. High solids content means excellent coverage and build thickness with fewer coats. Black pigmentation provides easy visual confirmation of complete coverage during application. Bonds tenaciously to concrete, masonry, and cement render.
Siegel PRO45
When the job demands maximum protection, PRO45 delivers commercial-grade tanking performance. Superior elasticity bridges cracks and accommodates structural movement without membrane failure. Engineered for high hydrostatic pressure applications including basement walls, lift pits, and water-retaining structures. Advanced polymer formulation provides exceptional adhesion and long-term durability in aggressive soil conditions. Applies by trowel or squeegee for controlled thickness and consistent coverage.
Technical Support When You Need It
Different soil conditions, water table levels, and structural designs require different tanking approaches. Our team understands the engineering behind below-grade waterproofing and can help you select the right membrane system for your specific application.
