Protexia GPT composite drains offer unique benefits to engineers designing new embankments, steep slopes, bunds and slip repairs using poor draining soils.
These drains are able to accelerate consolidation, deal with excess pore water pressure and, as a result, maximise the shear strength of the fill.
Where time constraints and the need to progress rapidly drive the project, or free-draining fills are too expensive or not readily available, Protexia geocomposites can provide the answer.
Basal embankment drainage using Protexia GPT composite drains.
Protexia GPT composite drains accelerate consolidation when constructing new embankments.
The use of horizontal geotextile layers, with integral drains, means that embankments can be constructed with poor draining soils.
