Talk to an expertA ground gas membrane system is a construction measure designed to prevent the ingress of harmful gases, such as methane, radon, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), from the ground into buildings. It typically consists of gas-resistant membranes installed at or above ground level to create a barrier against gas infiltration.
Ground gas membrane systems are important for mitigating the risks associated with harmful gases in construction projects. They help protect the health and safety of building occupants, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, preserve structural integrity, and minimise environmental impacts.
Ground gas membrane systems are used in various construction projects and industries, including residential buildings, commercial and industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects such as tunnels and underground structures. They are installed in areas where there is a risk of ground gas contamination.
Ground gas membrane systems work by creating a barrier that prevents the migration of harmful gases from the ground into buildings.
Ground gas membrane systems protect against a range of harmful gases commonly found in the ground, including methane, radon, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases can pose health hazards and structural risks if they infiltrate buildings.
When properly installed and maintained, ground gas membrane systems are highly effective in mitigating the risks associated with ground gas contamination. They provide a durable and impermeable barrier against gas infiltration, ensuring the safety and health of building occupants.
Yes, there are different types of ground gas membrane systems available, including single-layer membranes, multilayer membranes, and composite membranes with integrated drainage and venting systems. The choice of membrane system depends on project requirements, site conditions, and regulatory standards.
