Aquadrain® Sheet Drainage

Drainage of water is a critical issue in the design and construction of a structure. Without proper drainage, hydrostatic pressure can result in water infiltrating the structure, or worse yet, cause structural damage. With below-grade structures, Aquadrain will collect and channel water away from the structure. For split-slab deck construction, Aquadrain provides an avenue for water to flow to drains at the level of the waterproofing membrane beneath the topping wearing surface. In cold climates, this subsurface deck drainage can reduce the risk of possible freeze thaw damage to the wearing surface.

Since 1987, millions of square feet of Aquadrain drainage composite have been specified by architects and engineers, and successfully installed on commercial and residential projects worldwide. CETCO offers several variations of state-of-the-art drainage composites to meet particular project requirements. Each product variation consists of a three-dimensional "dimple" formed polymeric core with consistent flow rates and a geotextile filter fabric to restrict the passage of soil.

When used with waterproofing, Aquadrain enhances the waterproofing system by draining water away and provides protection, especially during backfill.
