Drain the ground, then build on it.
Soft clay consolidates slowly because pore water has a long, vertical path to drain. PVDs cut that path to the short distance between drains, so under a surcharge the ground settles and gains strength on a construction timescale.
Indramas installs T-Drain on a designed grid with stitcher rigs and combines it with surcharge and monitoring.
Key features
- Accelerates settlementMonths instead of years under preload.
- High discharge coreCorrugated core carries pore water out.
- Filter jacketLets water in, keeps soil out.
- Fast grid installStitcher rigs place drains quickly.
