Single wall perforated land drain

Polybed is manufactured in the UK from a lightweight geosynthetic material using recycled plastics and is a smarter and lightweight alternative to the traditionally heavy aggregate based systems as proven by rigorous testing undertaken at The University of Nottingham’s Transportation Engineering Centre (NTEC) into the products load bearing capabilities in highway applications.

The complete composite nature of Polybed means less on-site operations requiring less plant and labour than traditional methods, this in turn saving time and cost on installation. Polybed has also been proven by WRC (Water Research Centre) to have a performance comparable to traditional aggregate based methods due to its standardised, uniform bedding and backfill offering a void ratio of greater than 39%. Polybed also offers filtration capabilities assisting in capturing the migration of contaminants found within ground water.

Typical Applications:

Sub-surface drainage fields, stormwater soakaways, French drains, filter infiltration fields, foundation and retaining wall systems.
