ProDrain Geocomposite Sheet Drain System

Range of geocomposite drainage products formulated from selected polymers to form a stable core and void and then encapsulated with a premium nonwoven geotextile.

Global Synthetics supply ProDrain® Sheet Drain in two thicknesses, 12mm and 18mm. The product is available in a flat backed configuration that is ideally suited to building and waterproofing applications where point loads are minimised on the waterproofing membrane that may be applied to the wall (see CD12). Conventional 18mm double sided profiles are also available (see CD18) for applications where a higher compressive strength product is required. The ProDrain® Sheet Drain System may be used in vertical drainage applications such as behind walls, the product is ideally suited to horizontal applications such as planter boxes and podium areas.

Two unique products are available within the range to suit the proposed application.

• ProDrain® CD12
• ProDrain® CD18

The products have common features of unique polymer void geometry combined with a nonwoven geotextile attached to one side of the product.

The core profile allows for the efficient discharge of water along the core with the geotextile preventing any blockage of the core from fine soil particle movement.

The ProDrain® Sheet Drain System is manufactured in widths of 1m and 1.2m, with a common roll length of 25m for both products. Cutting of the roll, on site, is easy to carry out, to suit the application specifics (see our installation guide for further details).

The ProDrain® Sheet Drain System is used to replace conventional drainage aggregate systems, saving time and money due to its lightweight structure and quick and easy installation without the need for heavy equipment.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. STEP 1:
   Peel back the geotextile layer off the last two rows of dimples on both boards to be joined.
2. STEP 2:
   Apply a spot of neutral cure plastic adhesive to each dimple cavity.
3. STEP 3:
   Overlap the sheets and press together.
4. STEP 4:
   Fold back the geotextile onto the surface and tape the join to hold it together until the backfill soil is placed against it.
5. COMPLETION:
   Ensure when necessary, that suitable outlet drainage is installed. Any compaction near the face of the product should be carried out with care.
