Company brochure

Plastic blind drain

A melted plastic-filament core, welded at the nodes into a three-dimensional body, and wrapped in filter fabric.

The core is extruded as fine filaments and fused where they cross. Sections named in the brochure include rectangular, hollow-matrix, round, and hollow-round.

The brochure contrasts it with a traditional French drain: a high open area, collection along the surface, a large void ratio, compressive strength, and enough flexibility to follow the soil.

What the brochure emphasises

  • Light, and described as quicker to place than a stone drain.
  • Custom compounds are offered: higher temperature, flame retardant, strong acid and alkali, higher elasticity, higher hardness.

Uses named in the brochure

  • Road and railway shoulders.
  • Tunnels, metro, underground passages and underground yards.
  • Slopes and slope development.
  • Behind retaining walls, vertical and horizontal.
  • Landslide ground, power-station ash stacks, and landfill drainage.
  • Sports fields, parks, roof gardens and planters.
  • Building foundations.
  • Agricultural and horticultural sub-irrigation.
