Description
High-density drainage board composed of a core made of over 70% recycled polyethylene and a highly resistant woven polypropylene filter that offers optimal performance under concrete and areas withstanding heavy loads, such as terraces and parking decks
UNITS PER SKID: 8
Material Use:
SOPRADRAIN 18-G is a high-density drainage board designed for use in foundation walls, blindside waterproofing systems, plaza decks, and parking decks. It serves as a drainage layer that facilitates water flow away from waterproofing membranes and structural elements, thereby protecting them from hydrostatic pressure and water accumulation. It is particularly suited for areas subjected to heavy loads, such as terraces and vehicular decks.
System Components:
SOPRADRAIN 18-G is composed of two main components:
- A core made of recycled polyethylene, which provides structural strength and drainage capacity.
- A woven polypropylene geotextile filter fabric, which prevents soil and debris from clogging the drainage core.
This product is often used in conjunction with waterproofing membranes such as SOPRASEAL or other SOPREMA waterproofing systems. For sealing joints between panels, SOPRASEAL FLASHPRO self-adhesive membrane strips are recommended.
Applications:
SOPRADRAIN 18-G is suitable for the following applications:
- Conventional foundation walls
- Blindside waterproofing systems
- Plaza decks
- Parking decks
It is designed to be installed over waterproofing membranes to protect them and to facilitate drainage in horizontal and vertical applications.
Application Details:
Installation methods vary depending on the application:
- Conventional Foundations: The panel is installed with the geotextile facing the backfill. It can be partially adhered using compatible adhesives or fastened at the leading edge using a termination bar.
- Blindside Waterproofing: The geotextile faces the retaining wall and the panel is mechanically fastened using anchors and washers (minimum 25 mm diameter), with at least one anchor per square metre.
- Plaza and Parking Decks: The panel is loose-laid with the geotextile facing upward and held in place using heavy materials.
Ensure proper overlap of the geotextile fabric between adjacent panels and fold excess fabric under the core. Joints may be sealed with SOPRASEAL FLASHPRO for added protection.
Special Notes:
- Do not use mechanical anchors through waterproofing membranes, as this may compromise the integrity of the waterproofing system.
- SOPRADRAIN 18-G has a compressive strength of 862 kPa (18,000 psf), making it suitable for high-load applications.
- The maximum in-plane flow rate is 230 L/min/m (18.6 gal/min/ft), ensuring efficient drainage.
- The filter fabric has a water flow rate of 8535 L/min/m² (209.7 gal/min/ft²) and a puncture resistance of 840 N (188.8 psf).
- Roll dimensions are 1.83 m x 15.25 m (6 ft x 50 ft), covering 27.9 m² (300 ft²) per roll.
- Thickness is 10 mm (0.4 in).
- Store rolls upright in a clean, dry location, protected from UV, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Do not double stack pallets.
SOPRADRAIN 18-G is a non-liquid product and does not have pot life, curing time, or temperature/humidity limitations during installation, but care should be taken to avoid environmental damage during storage and handling.
