PVC geomembranes are engineered polymeric sheets designed to act as an impermeable barrier against water and fluid movement. Unlike conventional waterproofing systems, PVC geomembranes provide consistent performance even under extreme environmental and structural stress. Dr. Millars manufactures these geomembranes in India using advanced calendaring technology and a specialized formulation developed by experienced technical experts.
One of the major advantages of Dr. Millars PVC geomembranes is their compliance with BIS IS:15909:2020, along with international ASTM and EN standards. This ensures that the material meets stringent quality, durability, and safety requirements demanded by government authorities such as RVNL, IRCON, and NHAI. The geomembranes are produced in standard thicknesses of 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm, making them suitable for a wide range of waterproofing applications.
In infrastructure waterproofing, flexibility plays a critical role. Concrete structures naturally expand, contract, and settle over time. Dr. Millars PVC geomembranes offer excellent elongation properties, allowing them to conform to uneven surfaces without cracking or tearing. This characteristic is particularly important in underground structures and tunnels where minor ground movements are unavoidable.
Dr. Millars also provides turnkey solutions, including supply and professional installation. The installation process involves thermo-welding of sheets to create a continuous, leak-proof lining system. Large panels are factory-fabricated to minimize on-site joints, improving reliability and reducing installation time. Each welded seam is tested to ensure long-term performance.
Applications of Dr. Millars PVC geomembrane systems include tunnel waterproofing, building foundations, basements, roof slabs, canals, reservoirs, and water bodies. The systems are also reinforced with high-quality geotextile layers when required, enhancing puncture resistance and extending service life.
By focusing on Indian manufacturing under the Make in India initiative, Dr. Millars has reduced dependency on imported geomembranes while delivering globally competitive quality. For infrastructure developers seeking a durable, standards-compliant waterproofing solution, Dr. Millars PVC geomembranes continue to set benchmarks in reliability and performance.
