Plasdrain Drainage Mats

Drainage mats manufactured from a three dimensional polymer core consisting of the filter layer, the drainage layer, and the separation and protection layer, with a geotextile filter fabric bonded to one side. This creates an effective drainage void whilst the geotextile filter fabric prevents penetration of the drain by sand, soil, and other particles which can cause blockages. The impermeable core prevents water pressure from building against the structure being protected.

Features and benefits:

• High flow capacity - provides higher flow rates than that of mineral drainage systems without clogging.

• Increased performance - reduces the effects of hydrostatic pressure acting upon the structure.

• Cost effective.

• Easy to install.

• Chemical and organic resistance - offers resistance to most acids, alkalis, oils, fuels, chlorides and sulphate encountered within the soil. Also offers resistance to micro-biological attack.

• Actively reduces the hydrostatic pressure acting upon a waterproofing system.

• CE Marked.

Applications:

Suitable for use with commercial projects of all sizes. When used as part of a waterproofing system designed to BS 8102: 2009 for the protection of below ground structures against water from the ground, they contribute to tanking system performance and offer an increased puncture resistance against backfill.
