A traditional drainage layer consists of granular material often more than 300mm thick. However, the performance of such a drain can be inconsistent and decrease with time, due to deterioration of the boundaries and clogging of the material itself. Enkadrain, a geocomposite material, offers significant advantages.

All Enkadrain products are lightweight, strong, flexible, easy to handle and fast to install in one operation. They deliver high flow transmissivity per unit volume with consistent, uniform and excellent long-term performance. Every variant is based on the same basic concept of a three-dimensional composite that consists of a drainage core either Basement walls connected to one or sandwiched between two nonwoven synthetic geotextile fabrics. The drainage core is composed of tough, looped synthetic filaments that are fused together where they cross, forming an open structural material with a voids ratio of 95%. The resulting product is chemically inert and durable.

Enkadrain Drainage management on a roll

Enkadrain
Premium
Enkadrain Premium is a high-performance geocomposite offering excellent flow rates at low hydraulic gradients. In vertical drainage applications, Enkadrain Premium is used behind bridge abutments, concrete retaining walls, basements of multi-storey buildings, tunnels etc. Horizontal applications include sub-surface layers in roof top parking and roof gardens where its high compressive strength, low volume and weight offer significant advantages compared to conventional materials.
In the heat of the desert sun near Phoenix, Arizona, highway engineers building the Agua Fria highway specified Enkadrain Premium as the drainage layer beneath the concrete lining forming the massive storm drainage channels alongside the highway. Enkadrain has unique free-draining characteristics and withstands installation stresses with an increased safety factor against catastrophic failure.

Applications

The geocomposite was chosen in preference to a traditional aggregate filter for its ease of handling and installation on the 1:3 slope of the channel sides. Rebar or wire mesh was placed directly on the Enkadrain mat before the low-slump concrete was poured. Over 36,000 square meters of Enkadrain Premium were installed.

Enkadrain
Standard
For fast, cost-effective insulation, protection and drainage, construction engineers are finding Enkadrain Standard is the solution. Cut lengths from the small rolls can easily be held in place against shuttering or walls and either nailed or bonded in place. Enkadrain Standard delivers high productivity and reliable results.
In many parts of the world, new housing often incorporates basements and cellars that must be protected from water ingress. Enkadrain Standard provides a fast and reliable way of installing effective vertical drainage that also protects the buildings external waterproofing layer. It is also tough enough to withstand backfilling and compaction without damage.

Applications

In Germany, rolls of Enkadrain Standard are available at selected merchants, proving how easy it is to install effective three-in-one drainage, protection and filtration with low wastage and high performance.

Enkadrain
CK Types
For specialist applications in tunneling and for complex formwork, Colbond has developed the CK range of geocomposites that feature either an impervious PVC surface layer or coated filter on one side. Enkadrain CK saves space, cuts excavation volume and can act as a flexible waterproof drainage and protective sheet between adjacent buildings or on the outside of tunnels. Enkadrain CK can also serve as lost formwork.
When prominent German bankers SdwestLB (now LBBW) built a new eleven-storey banking and business center in the heart of downtown Stuttgart, the construction posed a number of major problems. The site, bordered on three sides by buildings, was very narrow and the three-storey 16 meter deep basement had to be isolated from the adjacent buildings and the nearby road with sufficient drainage for groundwater.

Applications

Over 17,000 square meters of Enkadrain CK were installed on the external surfaces of the below-ground construction, ensuring excellent drainage and protection. In addition, the Enkadrain CK geocomposite served as a noise barrier, a shield against electromagnetic interference and as a flexible infill between the adjacent buildings and the piled curtain walling.

Enkadrain
The Properties
Handling
Enkadrain is normally supplied in 1 m or 2 m wide rolls of manageable size and weight that are packed in plastic bags to enable them to be stored outside. The filter layers extend 100 mm beyond the core to provide an overlap with adjoining strips. The overlap is folded into the roll during packing. Enkadrain Wide is supplied in rolls of 5 meters width and 650 - 850 mm diameter on carton cores in a sealed plastic wrapping. Rolls should be stored in the original wrapping, laid flat and not more than three rolls high to avoid deforming the lowest rolls. The rolls should be lifted with a spreader bar and a steel rod or tube through the central core of the roll.

Easy handling

Installation

Enkadrain is light and can be cut easily with a pocketknife or shears. Its flexibility ensures that Enkadrain can be fitted accurately around corners and other structural features with negligible waste. All Enkadrain types can be installed quickly and easily: non-specialist laborers can achieve rates of 25 to 30 m2/ h for vertical installation (10 to 15 m2/ h for CK types). In vertical drainage Enkadrain is usually installed working from the top of the wall to the bottom and fixed by nailing, tacking, or gluing. Enkadrain protects the external waterproofing layer from mechanical damage and the collector drain from clogging, allowing the excavated material to be re-used as backfill. Unrolling Enkadrain Wide requires two men, one on each side of the roll. On slopes, the material should be unrolled from the top of the slope to the bottom. Enkadrain Wide should be unrolled directly into its desired location, as repositioning after unrolling is not recommended.

Simple tools

Transport and storage Chemical resistance Testing

Enkadrain is easy to transport and the rolls can be stacked and stored outside. Since Enkadrain is manufactured using manmade materials (polyamide, polyester and polyolefin) it possesses outstanding resistance to all chemicals in concentrations commonly occurring in the soil. All new Enkadrain products are rigorously tested in Colbond's own laboratories. If required, certification to relevant national and international standards is obtained from independent organizations such as LGA & tBU (Germany), EMPA (Switzerland) and CEMAGREF (France). Enkadrain has been tested and approved by the majority of European rail authorities including DB (Germany) and SNCF (France) and also road authorities including CFTR (France).

Fast installation

All Enkadrain product types are CE-certified by a notified body (no. 0799-CPD).

Every Enkadrain product is manufactured to the highest standards, with the assurance of ISO 9001:2000 accreditation (certificate no. 935136). From raw material through manufacture, shipping, on-site storage, installation and service, Enkadrain products benefit from Colbonds years of experience and extensive resources.
