Road, Railway, and Airport Drainage
Moisture in the road base layer can lead to premature deterioration of the road surface, and in severe cases, erosion of the base layer.
Road Base Layer
Moisture in the road base layer can lead to premature deterioration of the road surface, and in severe cases, erosion of the base layer.
Waterbelt can be installed in the base layer to control moisture from capillary rise, water migration from surrounding topography, and other underground water sources. Cutoff trenches parallel to roads are also drained effectively.
Water infiltration from surface cracking can be controlled with only minor disruption to traffic during the repair procedure, saving downtime and reducing repair expenditures.
Road Embankments
Road embankments drains and hillside dewatering for slope stabilization are installed by drilling and inserting pvc pipe wrapped with Waterbelt. Refer to section titled Retaining Walls for procedures.
Waterbelt drain belt collects and drains groundwater from rainfall, high water table and seepage without clogging. It separates the soil particles from the water before collection so drain rock and geotextile filters are not required.
