Key to Tackle Plastic Drainage – Formation Treatment

Many may not know but there are different types of drainage systems. The modern drainage systems have geotextile filters which retain and filter the soil to pass and clog the drain. In a drainage system, there is a long trench which is filled with materials like coarse granular stone, gravel, rocks or sea shells. In case of high groundwater conditions, plastic pipe like perforated PVC or PE is laid at the base of the drain to increase the water flow transported in the drain. There is also a geocomposite drainage including ground stabilisation system.

The prefabricated plastic drainage system has geotextile or coco fiber or rag filters incorporated into it. These materials are now increasingly used due to their easy usage and this eliminates the need for transporting and laying stone drainage aggregate which proves to be more expensive than a synthetic drain and concrete liners. The plastic drainage has become the most commonly used thing to use for soil filter. They are inexpensive to produce and are easy to lay with factory controlled properties which assure performance in long term filtration even in silty soil conditions. There are many companies which provide fully integrated ground drainage and ground stabilisation system and they act as formation treatments for almost all rail applications.
