Drainage for embankments: DRAINTUBE© FTF

For over 20 years, DRAINTUBE© FTF has been used to provide high-capacity vertical and horizontal drainage for embankments.

Drainage for backfills: DRAINTUBE© FTF

DRAINTUBE© FTF protects backfills from hydrostatic pressure by efficiently collecting and removing groundwater. It replaces gravel drainage layers up to 3 feet thick.

Drainage for Pavements and Floor Slabs: DRAINTUBE© FTF

DRAINTUBE© FTF replaces traditional drainage layers under pavements and floor slabs.

Drainage of parks, gardens and sports fields: DRAINTUBE© FT, DRAINTUBE© FTF

Used to replace traditional gravel layers, AFITEX-TEXEL drainage composites are economical and offer a more efficient method of drainage for parks, gardens and sports fields.

Deep Vertical Drainage: DRAINTUBE© FT, DRAINTUBE© FTF

AFITEX-TEXEL high-capacity geocomposites replace traditional drainage methods for walls and foundations.

 

Environmental

Ponds – Monitoring and Protecting Geomembranes: DRAINTUBE© FT

Installed below a geomembrane, DRAINTUBE© FT both physically protects it and provides the necessary drainage to collect the water coming from a high water table. This ensures to keep a low hydrostatic pressure under the geomembrane.

Leachate drainage at the bottom of Landfills: DRAINTUBE© FT

DRAINTUBE© FT is installed at the bottom of landfills for drainage and leachate collection to replace separate cushioning geotextiles and drainage layers.

DRAINTUBE© FT provides a more efficient use of space than traditional alternatives to increase a landfill’s capacity for waste.

Drainage for Landfill Caps or long term exposed slopes: DRAINTUBE© FT UV and DRAINTUBE© FT

Installed above a geomembrane on a long term exposed slope, DRAINTUBE© FT UV drains leachate and rainfall and offers mechanical protection of the geomembrane.

On a capping project, DRAINTUBE© FT collects biogas when placed under a geomembrane to eliminate the buildup of hydrostatic pressure. When placed above a geomembrane, DRAINTUBE© FT collects and drains rainwater, replacing traditional gravel layer.

DRAINTUBE© FT also provides physical cushioning protection for geomembranes in place of traditional geotextiles.
