Drain Cell (20 mm)

Drain cell is a structural drainage module manufactured from 100 % recycled polypropylene designed for sub-surface drainage where a high capture and discharge rate of water and high compressive strength is required.

Drain cell provides a drainage cavity and, when used in a landscaped roof, it provides additional protection layer for the waterproofing membrane and eliminates the need for a gravel course. Drain cell modules are easily interlocked in the same plane or at right angles to one another.

Install the drainage cell vertically to the walls of the planter boxes if required and cover with filter fabric. Allow sufficient overlap to the horizontal sections. Unaffected by moulds and algae, soil-bourne chemicals and bacteria 6. Lay the soil profile to the required depth.

Geotextile membranes are the name given to large sheets of fabric that are used in ground engineering and drainage applications, such as ground filtration, soil separation, ground reinforcement and soakaways and land drains.

The modules may also be butted together without interlocking. Drain cell is available in different height profiles, and are able to withstand loads imposed by wheel burrows and mechanical equipment such as Bobcats.

Features & Benefits:  High compressive strength in excess of 100t/m² but lightweight High surface area and internal void volume Efficient water capture and discharge Interlocks in one plane and also at right angles to one another Flexibility in design and configuration Rapid assembly minimises on-site disruption Resistant to biological attack. Not affected by wide range of soil-borne chemicals Narrow profile enables greater soil depth in planter beds Relieves hydrostatic pressure on retaining walls.
