Draincotex

Nonwoven needled geocomposite, designed for vertical drainage, mainly used for civil engineering works

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.

• Allows a significant reduction of the water content in the pavement, by creating a water barrier and moving the waterto the outside of the pavement structure.
• Provides superior mechanical strength and flexibility.
• Reduces small particule migration.
• Increases the service life of roads and highways.
