Plastic Drainage Board
What is Drainage Board?
Plastic drainage board is made of polypropylene(pp), polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other high-strength plastics as raw materials, through stamping or injection molding and other processes made of a plate with drainage function. Its surface is usually designed with conical platforms or hollow cylindrical porous structures to increase drainage area and efficiency. At the same time, some products will also glue a layer of filter geotextiles on the top surface of the conical table to prevent soil particles from passing through and avoid drainage channel obstruction.
How do drainage boards work?
Drainage function: The main function of the Plastic drainage board is to quickly export rainwater or groundwater, reduce the hydrostatic pressure of the waterproof layer, so as to achieve the effect of active waterproof. The internal drainage hole or convex structure ensures smooth drainage.
Protective function: The plastic drainage board can also prevent harmful substances in the soil from causing erosion and damage to the building, while protecting the waterproof layer from damage.
Beautify the environment: The use of plastic drainage boards in urban roads, commercial squares and other places can not only drain water, but also beautify the environment and enhance the image of the city.
What are the benefits of drainage boards?
High strength: Under the premise of ensuring the drainage effect, the plastic drainage board has a high load-bearing capacity and can withstand the load of personnel and light vehicles.
Corrosion resistance: The use of high-strength plastic production, will not rust, corrosion, can cope with acid rain, seawater and other corrosive environment.
Anti-slip function: The surface is designed with a pattern or convex structure, which can increase the friction on the surface of the material and prevent pedestrians or vehicles from slipping.
Easy to install: Lighter weight, smaller volume, through simple splicing can be quickly completed installation, greatly improving installation efficiency.
Where can drainage boards be used?
Plastic drainage boards are widely used in a variety of occasions that need drainage and protection, including but not limited to:
Garden projects: such as garage roof greening, roof gardens, football fields, golf courses, bathing projects, etc.
Municipal engineering: such as road subgrade, subway tunnel and other infrastructure drainage and protection.
Construction projects: such as the drainage and protection of the upper or lower layers of the building foundation, the inner and outer walls of the basement, the roof impermeability and insulation layer.
How do I install drainage boards?
Cleaning the site: Before construction, the garbage and debris on the laying site should be cleaned to ensure that the ground is smooth and there are no obvious bumps.
Laying method: According to the design requirements, the drainage board is laid on the ground in a certain direction. During the laying process, pay attention to the direction of the drainage plate and the direction of the convex structure to ensure smooth drainage.
Fixed and connected: Use special tools or equipment to fix and connect to ensure tight connection and stability between drainage plates.
Acceptance and maintenance: After the construction is completed, quality acceptance and performance testing are carried out. In the process of use, the drainage system is regularly maintained and inspected to discover and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.
How do I maintain a drainage board system?
In the process of use, the plastic drainage board may accumulate garbage, fallen leaves, branches and other large substances, which may affect the normal work of the drainage board. Therefore, it is necessary to clean regularly, generally at least once a year. When cleaning, all the garbage accumulated in the drainage pipe should be removed to ensure smooth drainage.
Final Thoughts
Plastic drainage board is a kind of building material with diverse functions and excellent performance, which is widely used in various occasions that need drainage and protection. Its advanced production technology, outstanding product advantages and convenient construction provide a strong guarantee for the safety and stability of buildings.
