Each strip of ParaDrain® has a core of polyester filaments covered by a protective layer of polypropylene. The specific strip structure of the geomesh has allowed a lengthwise channel to be designed in each strip to drain the water and separate it from the ground using a strip of non woven geotextile connected to the reinforcement strip.
Thanks to their structure, ParaDrain® geomeshes consolidate the soil while dispersing the water present in the ground.
ParaDrain® geomeshes have a range of variable mechanical resistances between 50 and 200 kN/m in the lengthwise direction and 15 kN/m sidewise.
Its main fields of application are embankment reinforcement, in reinforced earth applications using cohesive matrix soil, or in combination with the TRESMA® structures (when the wall height does not allow use of TRESMA® as the sole reinforcement).
