ALVÉODRAIN F - Vertical drainage of engineering structures

Use

An efficient drainage of the foundations of engineering structures is essential to their longevity. Indeed, the presence of water can create additional constraints for the structure, which must be taken into account during the design phase. Furthermore, the presence of water in contact with concrete must be limited.

ALVÉODRAIN® F quickly drains infiltrated water, limits hydraulic pressure, and prevents any accumulation of water on foundations of engineering structures (bridge abutments, retaining walls, pedestals, etc.).

In addition to drainage, ALVEODRAIN® F offers mechanical protection of the wall and avoid any damage when backfilling.

ALVEODRAIN® F combines the three functions: filtration, drainage and mechanical protection in a single product and a single installation and it approved by SNCF for all engineering structures.

Benefits

  • Effective drainage of infiltrated water
  • Filtration geotextile that prevents the migration of fines into the product
  • Soft, flexible, very robust material, adapting to the unevenness of the wall
  • Resistance to high loads
  • Easy to install, does not require specialized equipment or labor
  • Cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution as it replaces granular layers
