Deckdrain - Geocomposites

Deckdrain is a high performance drainage system designed to replaces stone drainage layers. Deckdrain has been specifically developed to provide high flow capacity and added protection to waterproofing.

Deckdrain consists of a high strength flexible polyethylene cuspated core with a non-woven geotextile bonded onto one or either side. The geotextile filters a wide range of materials whilst allowing the free ingress of fluids into the core of the geocomposite before draining to a discharge point.

The HDPE core of Deckdrain geocomposite provides a free flowing drainage void within the structure. The studs are designed to support the geotextile which is bonded to the core to ensure that it doesn't deform into the drainage passage under the pressure of the fill material. Unlike in pipes this geocomposite drainage core design allows flow in all directions.

Deckdrain is durable and sufficiently robust to resist the mechanical stresses imposed during installation and then on throughout its design life. Use of Deckdrain eliminates the need for further protection of the waterproofing system.
