ABG Deckdrain provides a thin, light-weight and easy to transport alternative to porous concrete blocks for back of wall and external basement wall drainage. The Deckdrain is tested to withstand high compressive loads when back filled, and the integral geotextile filter bonded to the surface prevents soil ingress from blocking the drainage core. The product’s in-plane flow data is published using ‘soft’ platen testing to accurately reflect its performance when installed against a soil load.
Within the building sector the focus is mostly on the products used in the process of protecting underground parts of structures, decks or walls that are partially or wholly below ground, including car parks and commercial basements.
