How does Drainage Cell System application offer improved drainage solution?
In order to ensure high performance drainage solutions in roof top constructs or even in urban development is a top priority. Without proper drainage, a lot of challenges have to be faced and even result in hazardous situations.
But to address these challenges and to carry out proper drainage performance, the installation of drainage cell systems is important. A drainage cell is a modular structural drain that is manufactured from 100% recycled polypropylene.
This solution is specifically designed for sub-surface drainage where there is requirement for high capture and discharge of water rate along with high compressive strength. But there’s more to this solution as it offers improved drainage system performance.
While subsoil drainage is the ultimate solution that you can get from a drainage cell, there are some specific drainage cells that can be applied for different drainage systems. Continue to read till the end to find out all about them.
Subsoil Drainage
Let’s get to the most obvious one which is the subsoil drainage that is needed in roadways, around foundations, raised garden beds, etc. With such a drainage system, excess water from surrounding soil of the property can be eliminated and for providing needed irrigation for the plants along with draining sewage away from the property.
The subsoil drainage system enables to increase ground stability, reduce movement of building foundations, prevent water damage and improves soil strength. To ensure this type of drainage system, the drainage cell is installed within the ground by a professional landscaper or plumber.
Rooftop Drainage
For rooftops where there is installation of artificial turf, the stagnant water from rainfall or any other source can cause damage to the turf and increases the risk of safety hazards as well.
With the application of an ideal drainage cell solution, the stagnant water and debris can be diverted off the roof. It helps such elements to flow toward the downspout and over to the ground.
The water from the roof drips onto the drainage system and it will aid in moving the water instead of keeping it stagnant.
Perks of Installing Drainage Cell System
With the use of drainage cell systems, a uniform and successful surface is established that helps in eliminating common concerns that are related to leakage and cracking. The drainage cell system with unique CUP structure offers water retention which helps in enabling passive irrigation.
Some of the ultimate benefits that is assured from drainage cell system are –
· Resistance to thermal expansions that could be a common phenomenon due to high temperature exposure in concrete causing cracks in waterproofing. The drainage cell system helps in escaping this heat with its unique design and reduces the risk of cracking.
· The drainage cell system is manufactured from high density polyethylene material that is inert to soil borne bacteria and chemicals. Also, the material is fully recyclable therefore providing an environmentally friendly option.
· Lightweight in nature that enables no heavy machinery or labor intensive installations.
All in all, the drainage cell system helps in delivering high performance drainage solutions.
