Made of polypropylene and polyester, Draincotex is used for drainage.
Draincotex geocomposite was especially designed to direct water vertically towards a collecting pipe. It is composed of two nonwoven geotextiles wrapped around a geotextile core having a higher discharde capacity than the surrounding soil. A filtering envelope (sheath) is provided at the lower end for insertion of the perforated pipe. Inside the sheath is a nylon cord to facilitate insertion of the selected pipe.
Draincotex system also separates the foundation from the shoulder soil and protects the soil from the margin effect. It may be used alone or with the Drainatex horizontal drainage system.
