Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD)

Used to accelerate consolidation of soft compressible soils in embankment construction and infrastructure works.

Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVDs), commonly referred to as wick drains, consist of a synthetic geotextile jacket surrounding a molded plastic core. When installed vertically into low-permeability saturated soft soils, PVDs create artificial drainage paths that drastically shorten pore water discharge distance. Under surcharge loading, consolidation time is reduced from years to months.

Technical Specifications
Core Material Polypropylene / Polyethylene
Filter Sleeve Nonwoven Needle-Punched Polypropylene
Discharge Capacity High flow capacity under high lateral pressures
Tensile Strength > 2.0 kN per drain width
Applications Highway Embankments, Airport Runways, Reclamation Projects
