Oldroyd® Xtf is a waterproof, fire resistant membrane designed specifically to protect tunnels from the detrimental effects of dripping water.

The membrane consists of a specially profiled, studded and grooved flame retardant polypropylene (PP) sheet, approximately 1 mm (40 mils) thick, onto which is laminated a high tensile strength, fire resistant woven fabric of basaltic mineral fibres.

Whilst the polyolefin sheet provides the structure of the membrane and ensures its waterproofness, the basaltic fibre fabric increases its mechanical strength considerably, as well as being of vital importance to the fire resistance properties of the membrane.

Oldroyd Tunnel Membranes

Norwegian manufacturer Oldroyd are the leading supplier of membrane systems for tunnels in Scandinavia. Through our exclusive partnership, we are delighted to act as the sole UK distributor for Oldroyd Xtf membrane, a uniquely sustainable fireproof and waterproof product for underground projects.

    • Key Benefits

    Key Benefits

    • B-s2.d0 fire rating to EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009
    • Fire resistant for more than 20 minutes at >1000°C
    • Fixing average of 413 N to withstand the extreme negative pressure/suction of high-speed trains
    • Protection of the railway tunnel for a minimum of 60 years
    • Does not require covering, and so the whole of the overnight rail closure can be used for membrane fixing
    • Thoroughly tested in challenging Norwegian and Faroe Island railway tunnels
    • Toxic gas emissions during a fire are less than 10% of the maximum allowed level
    • CO2 formation is less than 20% of the maximum allowed level
    • Halogen free – No chlorine compounds, bromides or fluorides
