Building Drainage

Drainage at Retaining Walls

Protecting soil-bound structures at great depths against inflowing ground or surface water calls for particularly pressure resistant solutions. In this field, geosynthetic composites do not only provide the high discharge required, but also prevent mechanical damage to protective structure coatings.

Colbond's product range includes drainage mats specially designed for the use in front of retaining walls. In numerous projects to date, Enkadrain has shown time and time again how well it complies with the high demands put on drainage layers in great depths. Enkadrain does not only fulfil its primary function offering high discharge capacities, but also provides effective protection against mechanical damage and clogging of the collector system. As Enkadrain layers can be applied both horizontally and vertically, they fit very well into the construction sequence.

The choice of the right type of Enkadrain is mainly determined by the construction depths of the specific project. To meet the challenges of bridge abutments and similar structures, the extensive Enkadrain product range provides special product types. Colbond and their representatives will be happy to assist in determining the optimum Enkadrain product type best suiting the requirements of your project.
