Drainage / Dewatering

The presence of water in building structures can have destructive effects, like washing out, or the effects of freezing cycles. The forces affecting our structures can also increase the destructive effects of water movements. The ideal water draining system can be easily built by using the appropriate geosynthetics, for both short and long distances, providing the long time stability of our structures.

Recommended geosynthetics as solution to problem concerning the application field:

Surface drainage of water accumulated under roads, railway structures and dams

Recommended geosynthetic	Function of geosynthetic
Tipptex B/N non woven geotextile Tipptex BS non woven geotextile Bontec LW woven geotextile Bontec HW woven geotextile Enkadrain Premium surface leakage Enkadrain CK surface leakage		separation of structural layers prevents intermixing of layers filtration horizontal plane drainage in case of Enkadrain products, vibration absorption

Vertical drainage of civil engineering structures, bridge backfills

Recommended geosynthetic	Function of geosynthetic
Tipptex B/N non woven geotextile Enkadrain Standard felületszivárgó Enkadrain Premium surface leakage Enkadrain CK surface leakage		separation of structural layers filtration protection of structural elements in case of Enkadrain products, vibration absorption
