TerraDrain 50 |
TerraDrain 50
is a two-part prefabricated geocomposite drain, consisting of
a formed polystyrene core covered on one side with a nonwoven
needle-punched polypropylene filter fabric. The fabric allows
water to pass into the drain core while restricting the movement
of soil particles which might clog the core. The core allows
the water to flow to designated drainage exits. TerraDrain 50
is non-biodegradable and resistant to most soil chemicals, acids,
and alkalies with a pH range of 3 to 12. TerraDrain 50 is manufactured
to meet or exceed the following roll requirements.
