AUSDRAIN WALL DRAIN
Basement Walls and Retaining Walls constructed underground come into contact with water conductive earth. Penetrating water has a tendency to find any possible points of weakness sometimes resulting in widespread and often irreparable damage.
The collection and build up of ground water also creates a great deal of hydrostatic pressure placing large stresses on wall structures. The Ausdrain Wall Drainage System provides the ultimate solution to these problems.
Solution to the Problem:
Vertical wall drain panels create a structural void between the wall and the backfilled area. Syntex geotextile surrounding the panels allows water to filter into the void, prevents sediment from entering the system and cushions the waterproof membrane.
Water entering the system experiences an undisrupted flow that feeds directly into the Ausdrain Filter Pipe where it is discharged to designated stormwater outlets.
The result is a continuous discharge of water preventing any water from coming into contact with the wall surface and also providing relief from hydrostatic pressure.
Features:
- Syntex Filter fabric wrapped on both sides
- 300 mm core (void)
- 100 mm sleeve fits consecutive panels
- Height up to 2.85 m
- Panels made to order to exact heights
Main Benefits:
- Efficient water collection through the vertical void
- Undisrupted flow of filtered water to designated outlets or sumps
- High compressive strength withstands ground and structural movement
- Acts as the membrane protection layer
- Eliminates the need for gravel as the primary back-fill material
- Maintains a dry structure as water is unable to penetrate to the wall
- Void separation facilitates ventilation to the wall
- Rigid panels sit completely flush against the wall during installation
Other Benefits:
- Light weight
- Easy to handle and install
- Superior drainage efficiency
- High compressive strength
- Durability
- Cost-effective
