DELTA®-DRAIN 6000

This heavy duty Drainboard is best suited for extreme requirements on high drainage capacity. Whether in commercial or civil engineering applications, DELTA®-DRAIN 6000 has proven superior performance in regards to water flow rate, compressive strength, chemical resistance and long term performance.

Material

DELTA®-DRAIN 6000 consists of a three-dimensional, tear resistant core out of Polypropylene and a needlepunched, high-strength PP geotextile with excellent filter characteristics. Fully bonding the geotextile to the core's dimple structure prevents the geotextile from being pushed into the flow channels by back-fill material.

Water can pass freely and easily through the geotextile and into the drain core where gravity feeds it into the drainage system/pipes.

Product Characteristics

DELTA®-DRAIN 6000 performs extraordinarily well as drainage layer to protect any underground structure against damage from water and moisture. The laminated Geotextile is resistant against high soil-pressures and prevents clogging of the drainage channels in the core product in a reliable manner. The ultra-tough drainage core, thermoformed out of a high-end Polypropylene grade, provides extremely high compressive strength to maintain the integrity of the dimples even under toughest conditions.

DELTA®-DRAIN 6000 comes with a compressive strength of 723 kN per squaremeter (15,100 psf) and can be used at installation depths of 15m (45 ft) and more. This tough product provides water-flow rates for highest demands. Being the only Drainboard on the market made out of Polypropylene this product has unmatched chemical resistance and is totally unaffected by environmental decay.

Application

DELTA®-DRAIN 6000 can be used as highly effective Drainboard System in underground wall construction, protection of retaining walls, pile wall and lagging wall drainage, bridge abutments, roof decks and as relief layer for hydrostatic pressure.

DELTA®-DRAIN 6000 can be easily installed as it comes in various roll sizes (4'x50' or 6'x50'). DELTA Accessories help to keep the installation fast and simple.
