Use
An efficient drainage of the foundations of engineering structures is essential to their longevity. Indeed, the presence of water creates additional hydrostatic pressure on the structure that must be considered in the design and can also affect the quality of the concrete.
ALVEODRAIN® EV 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® EV offers mechanical protection of the wall and avoid any damage when backfilling.
ALVEODRAIN® EV combines the three functions: filtration, drainage and mechanical protection in a single product and a single installation.
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
