Geotextile Drainage Board

Product Description for Geotextile Drainage Board

Product Name: Geotextile Drainage Board

Dezhou Jingze Geosynthetics Co., Ltd. specializes in the design, manufacture, and supply of advanced geotextile drainage boards, engineered to deliver efficient and reliable subsurface drainage solutions. Our geotextile drainage boards are crucial components in modern construction and landscaping, offering a superior alternative to traditional, aggregate-based drainage systems. These innovative products effectively manage water, protect structures, and promote environmental sustainability.

Our geotextile drainage boards are constructed from a robust, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) core. This core is molded into a pattern of raised dimples, studs, or cones. This unique configuration creates a continuous void space that facilitates the rapid flow of water. A high-quality geotextile filter fabric is bonded to the dimple tips, preventing soil particles and debris from entering the drainage channels, which could otherwise lead to clogging and reduced drainage efficiency over time. The geotextile also acts as a separation layer, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the system.

The primary function of a geotextile drainage board is to alleviate hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the force exerted by a column of water, which can build up against subsurface structures such as foundation walls, retaining walls, and tunnels. If this pressure is not properly managed, it can lead to significant structural damage, including cracking, deformation, and water ingress. By providing a pathway for water to flow away from these structures, our drainage boards effectively reduce this risk, ensuring long-term stability and integrity.

Furthermore, geotextile drainage boards play a vital role in protecting waterproofing membranes. These membranes are essential for preventing water from penetrating buildings and other structures. However, they can be vulnerable to damage during the backfilling process, as well as from soil settlement and movement. The drainage board acts as a protective layer, cushioning the membrane and distributing loads evenly, thereby minimizing the risk of punctures, tears, and other forms of mechanical damage.

In addition to their structural benefits, geotextile drainage boards also contribute to environmental sustainability. By efficiently managing water, they help to prevent soil erosion, reduce runoff, and promote healthy vegetation growth. This is particularly important in applications such as green roofs and landscape drainage, where water management is critical for both structural stability and ecological balance.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High Drainage Capacity: The unique dimpled core structure creates a high void space, enabling rapid and efficient water flow, even under heavy loads and low gradients. This ensures effective water removal and prevents waterlogging.
• Effective Filtration: The geotextile filter fabric is carefully selected to provide optimal filtration performance. It allows water to pass through freely while preventing the migration of fine soil particles, silt, and sand. This dual function ensures long-term drainage efficiency and prevents the system from clogging, which is a common problem with traditional gravel drains.
• Superior Waterproofing Protection: Our drainage boards act as a mechanical protection layer for waterproofing membranes. They shield the membrane from damage caused by sharp objects in the backfill material, as well as from the stresses of soil settlement and movement. This significantly extends the lifespan of the waterproofing system and reduces the risk of leaks.
• Exceptional Compressive Strength: Designed to withstand heavy loads from soil, construction equipment, and other external forces. This ensures that the drainage system maintains its integrity and performance over time, even in demanding applications.
• Chemical and Biological Resistance: Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP), our drainage boards are resistant to a wide range of chemicals commonly found in soil and groundwater, including acids, alkalis, and salts. They are also resistant to biological degradation from bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, ensuring long-term performance and durability.
• Flexible and Easy Installation: Lightweight and flexible, our geotextile drainage boards are easy to handle, transport, and install. They can be cut to size on-site and easily conformed to irregular surfaces, reducing installation time and labor costs.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of horizontal and vertical drainage applications in various civil engineering and construction projects, including those with complex geometries and challenging site conditions.
• Long Service Life and Reliability: Manufactured from durable, high-quality materials and subjected to rigorous quality control procedures. Our geotextile drainage boards offer a long service life and require minimal maintenance, providing a cost-effective and reliable drainage solution.
• Sustainable Solution: By effectively managing water and promoting healthy vegetation, our drainage boards contribute to sustainable construction practices and help to minimize the environmental impact of development.

Applications:

Geotextile drainage boards are used in a wide variety of applications, including:

• Foundation Drainage: Protecting basements and underground structures from water damage by channeling water away from foundation walls and footings. This prevents hydrostatic pressure buildup and water ingress, ensuring a dry and stable environment.
• Retaining Wall Drainage: Reducing hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls, which can cause them to crack, tilt, or fail. Our drainage boards provide a vertical drainage path, allowing water to flow freely to a collection system at the base of the wall.
• Roof Garden Drainage: Providing essential drainage and water retention in green roof systems. The drainage board allows excess water to drain away, preventing root rot and promoting healthy plant growth, while also retaining some moisture for the plants to use.
• Tunnel Drainage: Managing water infiltration in underground tunnels, which can damage the tunnel lining and compromise structural integrity. Our drainage boards provide a reliable drainage layer behind the tunnel lining, directing water to a collection and discharge system.
• Landfill Drainage: Collecting leachate, which is contaminated liquid that can leach from solid waste in landfills, and preventing it from contaminating groundwater. Our drainage boards play a crucial role in leachate collection systems, ensuring the safe and environmentally sound management of waste.
• Landscape Drainage: Draining excess water from sports fields, golf courses, parks, and other landscaped areas. This prevents waterlogging, promotes healthy turf growth, and ensures that these areas can be used year-round.
• Road and Railway Drainage: Ensuring subgrade stability and preventing frost heave in road and railway construction. Our drainage boards help to drain water away from the subgrade, which is the layer of soil beneath the pavement or track, preventing it from becoming saturated and unstable. This improves the load-bearing capacity of the subgrade and reduces the risk of damage from frost heave in cold climates.
• Horizontal Drainage: Used in applications such as parking decks, bridge decks, and plaza decks to provide drainage above waterproofing.
• Vertical Drainage: Used in applications such as foundation walls, retaining walls, and cut slopes to provide a vertical drainage path.
