Geosynthetics in Subsoil Drainage

Subsurface drainage and water removal is critical in maintaining structural integrity and reducing deterioration.

For subsoil drainage applications, Megaflo Green panel drain provides the dimensional stability and field-proven structural strength for quick, effective subsurface drainage.

Performance is the distinguishing feature of the panel drain due to its ability to rapidly collect and remove water. Compared to 100 mm diameter round pipe, Megaflo Green drains water up to 4.9 times faster. Its slim 40 mm wide profile permits faster and more cost-effective installation in a narrower trench.

For ditch and channel lining applications, Concrete Canvas is rapidly becoming the lining material of choice for engineers and contractors around the world. Concrete Canvas is typically 10 times faster to install than conventional concrete solutions, with installation speeds of up to 200m2/hr possible with only a three-man crew for a longitudinal layup.

Concrete Canvas is also ideal for outfall applications as an effective method of preventing surface erosion and scour associated with water run-off from culvert outlets, spillways and over-toppings.
