Drainage Geocomposites
Drainage Composites are made up by associating , during production, a draining core layer (it can be either a mat, a net or a moulded element) between two layers of geotextiles. The composite is capable of providing either filtering, separation and, sometimes, also other functions such as protection. Even with the multiple uses the main purpose is the drainage one, for this reason, the long term draining performances of the composite must be well known (compressive creep flowarate variations, filter efficency etc.).
Given the extensive range of applications for drainage composites, specialized product families have been developed to meet specific needs and provide optimal performance in different scenarios.
Here are a few examples:
TerraDrain™ for Sports Fields
- Tailored for sports field applications.
- Specifically designed to address drainage requirements associated with athletic surfaces.
MacDrain™ W for High Flow Rates and heavy load conditions
- Engineered to withstand and effectively manage high flow rates.
- Suitable for applications where rapid drainage is a priority.
MacDrain™ M for High Flow Rates and medium load conditions
- Primarily designed to handle high compression loads.
- Tailored for particular applications, providing unique advantages.
These specialized product families highlight the versatility and adaptability of drainage composites, ensuring they meet the specific demands of various projects. Whether utilized in civil engineering, planar installations, roofing, landfill projects, or sports fields, MacDrain™ W and M excel in high-flow rate scenarios. Additionally, the MacDrain™ N family provides a tailored solution, designed specifically to withstand extreme compression loads. These tailored product families aim to deliver optimal performance and the best possible user experience in their respective applications.
