Drainage Cell 50mm x 500mm x 20mm / 30mm
Drainage cell is a lightweight, high strength modular drainage cell designed primarily for sub-surface drainage, and to form tanks for underground storm water infiltration or storage.
Drainage cell is manufactured from high strength polypropylene and used in the construction of roof gardens, plaza decks, basements, pond filtration systems, concealed drains, pre-cast and in-situ drains and sports fields.
Drainage cell When installed between roof decks and pavers or ballast, Drainage cell drainage cells reduce sound transmission and increase heat insulation.
Unlike drainage sheets or other drainage cells, Drainage cell is designed to withstand loads imposed by mechanical equipment such as bob-cats.
Available in 30mm high modules, Drainage cell modules interlock in the same plane, at right angles to one another, or may be butted together.
Applications:
Drainage cells are used for sub-soil drainage and to form tanks for underground water infiltration or storage systems in:
- Landscape decks & planter boxes
- Plaza decks, balconies & pool sides
- Sports fields & golf courses
- Roof Gardens
- Concealed drains
- Retaining/basement walls
- Storm drains
- Pond filtration
- Infiltration & storage tanks
- Sub surface drainage systems
- Water Sensitive Urban Designs (WSUD)
- Groundwater management
- Sports field drainage
- Road edge drains
Feature:
- High compressive strength in excess of 100t/m2
- High surface void area and internal void volume resulting in efficient water capture and discharge rates
- Modules that may be interlocked in one plane or at right angles to one another
- Resistance to biological attack and to a wide range of soil-borne chemicals
- Large pre-assembled panels that allow rapid installation and minimise on-site disruption
Benefits:
- Lightweight modules that allow easy handling and installation
- Approximately 2% of gravel aggregate weight for the same discharge capacity
- More predictable drainage capacity than gravel
- Narrow profile enables a greater soil depth to be utilised in planter beds, compared to gravel, allowing the use of a wider variety of landscape plants
- Relief of hydrostatic pressure on retaining walls
