Enkadrain is suitable for use wherever water has to be drained. This wide range of products, each designed for a specific application, has proven itself for years in draining basement walls, retaining walls, as permanent shuttering or pressure relief layer in basement floors, parking decks, extensive and intensive green roofs, gas and water in landfills , draining roadside verges, slopes and tunnels.

With its sandwich structure of a three-dimensional open core covered on one or both sides with a nonwoven filter or membrane, Enkadrain provides outstanding drainage properties combined with protection against mechanical damage to waterproof layers of structures. The filter or membrane reliably prevents fine particles from soils, substrates, wet concrete etc, from entering the drainage core. Enkadrain forms a gap of air between the structure and the adjacent soil, preventing water pressure building up unacceptably on walls.

Enkadrain is extraordinarily flexible, which is not only a major advantage when laying it, but also helps it serve as sound insulation. For this reason, many construction projects use Enkadrain products as insulation between a source of noise (such as railway tracks) and their adjacent buildings. But Enkadrain is also used frequently in conventional construction as both insulation and drainage.



At 5 m width, specific Enkadrain products are particularly suitable for use in large areas, such as for drainage on top of landfill capping membranes and as gas-venting layer below such liners.

Enkadrain's flexibility makes it easy to install, even at low temperatures. It can be used between anything from -30° to + 80° depending on product type.

And, of course, all Enkadrain products are rot-proof and resistant to all natural substances and organisms occurring in the soil. Most of the products in the Enkadrain product family are also fire retardant to the latest Swiss Standard for tunnels.
