Batter of structures

Structures must have drainage systems to quickly cut off water penetration routes before they affect the structures.

With a good drainage system:

The usefull life of a scheme is prolonged.
The safety factor of the structure is increased.

APPLICATIONS:

Main applications of INTERDRAIN in the batter of structures:

1. Concrete wall drainage.
2. False tunnel drainage.
3. Reinforced earth walls drainage.

PLANNING WITH INTERDRAIN:

Possible applications:
Concrete wall.
False tunnel.
Reinforced earth wall.

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS
System for batter os structures depending on the height.
Comparision with gravels.
References to works.
Case study: Drainage and sealing of a highspeed train line false tunnel.

Why is INTERDRAIN the ideal product for draining the batter of structures?

THE PROBLEM:

Effects and problems caused by water:

1. Loss of soil cohesion.
2. Reduction in the internal friction of the soil.
3. Saturation of the earth.
4. Hydrostatic force and sub-pressure.
5. Reduction in the durability of materials (concrete, asphalt).
6. Deformation of the site and differential seating.
7. Structures and infrastructures becoming inoperable.
8. Appearance of cracks and damp.
9. Deformation and breakage of structures.

THE SOLUTION:

INTERDRAIN, the effective and lasting drainage system:

1. Enormously reduces the water-structure contact time.
2. Increases the durability of materials.
3. Prevents water reaching the structure.
4. Drastically reduces hydrostatic pressure.
5. Prevents the appearance of damp.
6. Safer structure.
7. Make structures operative (prevents leaks, puddles, etc.).
8. Reduces maintenance costs.
