SITEDRAIN & AASHTO M 288-06

 

 

 
SITEDRAIN Series drainage products incorporate critical design considerations into a versatile and expanded product line. Specially designed drainage cores that address strength and flow requirements are combined with geotextiles meeting AASHTO M 288-06 survivability classifications for subsurface drainage.  This allows design professionals the flexibility to factor in the many site variables that are critical to per-formance based on specific conditions. For technical design assistance please contact us directly. 
The Problem
Structural walls can be compromised when hydrostatic pressure accumulates against the wall.  Native soil is typically comprised of multiple layers that determine the ability of water to move through the soil.  Low permeabilty soil layers can trap water and create hydrostatic pressure against below grade walls.  Over time, the water may exploit weak spots causing leaks and expensive repairs.
The Solution

SITEDRAIN prefabricated drains provide a secure, uninterrupted flow channel that allows water to bypass problem soil layers.  The formed and molded core has a filter fabric bonded securely to one side.  The fabric retains soil paritcles while allowing water to freely enter the drainage core.   

SITEDRAIN Sheet 90 Series provides single-sided drainage for vertical walls where moderate compressive strength and flow capacity are required. The core side of SITEDRAIN Sheet 90 is placed against the wall surface of the structural wall with the fabric facing the soil. 

SITEDRAIN Sheet 180 Series provides single-sided drainage for vertical walls where high compressive strength and flow capacity are required. The core side of SITEDRAIN Sheet 180 is placed against the wall surface of the structural wall with the fabric facing the soil.

SITEDRAIN COLLECTION SYSTEMS

SITEDRAIN HQ Series functions as a high-flow collection system for SITEDRAIN Sheet products.  This patented design combines a low and high profile core with a unique core flange  designed to connect directly to the sheet drain.  Designed to collect and transport the high volumes of water collected by sheet drains, SITEDRAIN HQ is a performance driven, sustainable solution to ensure the most efficient

SITEDRAIN Strip Series provides a value alternative to perforated pipe and stone drainage systems.  It provides a significantly higher flow rate as well as increased ease of handling and installation.

AWD Fittings are designed to transition collected water to standard pipe for evacation to designated exits.
