Description

Draintex GeoTextile Fabric 1 x 10m

Draintex is a standard duty, non-woven drainage geotextile fabric with excellent drainage and filtration properties. This drainage geotextile fabric has a stable but open structure making it ideal for lining trenches when constructing land (French) drains. Draintex acts as a filter membrane, separating the aggregate from the soil, thus preventing the aggregate from mixing with the soil and reducing the efficiency and capacity of the drain.

Installation Guidelines (for use as a drainage membrane)

  1. Excavate a trench to receive the land drain, to a suitable depth and width.
  2. Line the base and sides of the trench with DRAINTEX fabric, cutting it to a suitable length and width where required. Overlaps should be kept to a minimum, but where necessary they should be a minimum of 300mm. Leave enough DRAINTEX fabric protruding beyond the top of the trench on both sides to cover (with an overlap) the shingle/gravel before backfilling the top of the trench.
  3. Lay a bed of 10mm pea shingle (or similar clean, non-limestone gravel) in the base of the trench on top of the DRAINTEX fabric.
  4. Lay the perforated pipe on top of the shingle and fill round with more shingle/gravel, making sure there is at least 75mm surrounding the pipe.
  5. Cover the top of the shingle/gravel with the remaining DRAINTEX fabric (see point 2).
  6. Backfill the rest of the trench with soil before installing the surface finish e.g. turf.

Installation Guidelines (for use as a ground stabilisation membrane)

  1. Excavate soil (sub-grade) to the required depth (allowing for sufficient depth of sub-base, base course layer and the surface finish e.g. block paviours, tarmac etc, including any base layer required for these – depths of each layer will vary depending on the intended use e.g. pedestrian/vehicle use, light/heavy use).
  2. Lay DRAINTEX fabric out and ensure joints are overlapped by a minimum of 300mm (overlaps should be kept to a minimum). For some applications the specification may require DRAINTEX to be jointed using other methods, e.g. stitching, gluing etc.
  3. Secure using EXTRAFIX fixing pegs.
  4. Lay sub-base layer over the fabric and compact using a compacting plate or roller.
  5. Following installation of the sub-base, base layers (e.g. base coat tarmac) for the surface finish can be laid.

For a successful soakaway, wrap the crates in DRAINTEX before covering with pea shingle.
