Volclay Aquadrain 15X

Advantages Over Aggregate Drainage: Sheet drainage offers the following advantages over aggregate:

• Low Installed Cost – Combined installation and material cost is usually less than half that for stone and pipe drainage.
• Predictable Performance – Uniform properties and application coverage provide predictable drainage performance.
• Easy To Handle And Install – Lightweight, easy-to-handle prefabricated drain sheet is installed quickly. No heavy equipment or skilled laborers are required.
• High Flow Capacity – Three-dimensional structure of core provides multiple channels for vertical and horizontal water flow.
• No Clogging – Geotextile filter fabric permits high volume passage of water into the core while retaining soil particles.
• Strong and Durable – Crush strength of core resists damage during installation and from soil pressures. High tear and puncture strength of fabric ensures no damage during backfilling or use.
• Reduces Drainage Space Requirements – Thin profile requires much less space than aggregate drainage.
• Reduces Deadload Weight on Decks – Thin, light-weight composite weighs far less than aggregate drainage thus greatly decreasing deadload weight on decks.
• Inexpensive to Transport and Store – Light-weight rolls are less expensive to transport and do not require large job site space for storage or staging.
• Chemically Resistant – Both the core and geotextile are resistant to all naturally-occurring soil materials.
• Simple Inspection – Easy visual inspection of material and installation is possible.
• Direct Discharge Connection – Sheet drain can be directly connected to base drain collection and discharge system.

When Aquadrain is used with waterproofing it enhances the waterproofing system by collecting and transporting water away, as well as provides protection – especially during backfill.
