Subsoil Drainage Product Range
Ausdrain’s 50mm HexCell Extreme Duty Drainage Cell is ideal for applications that require a higher compressive strength tolerance than 30mm drainage cell or 30mm HexCell. 50mm HexCell creates a permanent, non-clogging void between the concrete slab and the soil profile that will not collapse or distort. The 50mm void enables a direct flow of water to designated outlets avoiding the risk of water build-up and penetration. The large surface and capacity void space enables superior drainage efficiency compared to the small voids created by using a gravel system.
Made in Sydney, Australia, Ausdrain’s range of drainage and stormwater management products are available Australia wide. Local manufacturing of our products means our clients enjoy fast dispatch of their orders, fully supported by our national customer service, operations and logistics teams.

Faster and easier onsite installation
50mm HexCell Extreme Duty Drainage Cell features a unique Dovetail Clipping System that allows for multi-directional installation. This makes onsite installation faster and simpler than conventional 50mm drainage cell.
50mm HexCell Extreme Duty Drainage Cell has been designed also with anti-slip nodules to promote layer stability and reducing installation times. In larger applications where multiple layers are called for, this significantly reduces onsite labour costs and overall project costs.
Geotextile fabric is placed over 50mm HexCell Extreme Drainage Cell and is supplied in roll widths of 2m and 4m. The fabric combined with a layer of washed sand, filters the water eliminating staining caused by gravel, stone and soil materials. The drainage cell also acts as a membrane protection layer, however, it is recommended that a layer of protection board be placed between the membrane and drainage cell.
Our 50mm HexCell Extreme Duty Drainage Cell is supplied in interlocking, pallet optimised 1100mm x 1100mm panels, comprising 4 pieces of 550mm x 550mm. The panels are ideal for large areas but can easily be divided or cut for smaller areas, curves or edges.
