Hydroduct® 220
Pre-fabricated geocomposite drain for use as a combined drainage and protection layer with GCP waterproofing membranes
Product Description
Hydroduct® 220 is a strong, preformed 0.44 in. (11 mm) thick geocomposite drainage sheet system, comprising a hollow studded polystyrene core, covered on one side with a nonwoven, needle punched polypropylene filter fabric and on the other side with a smooth polymeric film.
Uses
Hydroduct® 220 is designed primarily for use with waterproofing materials in vertical installations.
Hydroduct® 220 has been specially developed to provide a simple and highly practical collector and deflector of unwanted ground water on foundation walls, retaining walls, tunnels and planters. It can be used with Preprufe®, Procor®, or Bituthene® waterproof membranes. When installed it protects the membrane from damage and minimizes the build-up of percolated surface water against the structure. The construction of the studded sheet also creates an air void to isolate the structure from the effects of the surrounding ground.
Hydroduct® 220 has been designed to withstand ground pressures and the compaction forces of wet concrete to maintain a high water flow capacity. The drainage sheet must be connected into the site drainage system to minimize hydrostatic build-up and collect infiltrated water using Hydroduct® Coil 600 or traditional perforated pipes wrapped and linked with the geotextile filter fabric to prevent clogging.
Product Advantages
- Enhances waterproofing—eliminates hydrostatic pressure build-up
- Efficient water collector/deflector—can be used as a sandwich drainage layer between lagging and the reinforced concrete structure
- Smooth polymeric sheet—compatible with Preprufe®, Procor,® or Bituthene® membranes
- Simple convenient drainage and protection layer—serves as robust membrane protection and drainage
- Geotextile fabric filter—allows ground water to pass into the drain core while restricting the movement of soil particles
- High flow capacity—drains 17 gals/min./ft (211 L/min./m) width
- Rot proof—unaffected by permanent immersion in water, bacteria, dilute acids and alkalis
- Economical—eliminates imported aggregate drainage layers
- Studded core—allows water to flow to designated drainage collection points
