Product Information

ProDrain® SD Series Strip Filter Drains are prefabricated drainage composites for the efficient filtering of groundwater. All Strip Drain drainage cores are encapsulated with a high flow geotextile that prevents long term blockage of the drain core by excluding the ingress of fine soil particles. The core is made from HDPE polymer combined with a PP/PET geotextile. Both polymers are inert to a wide range of acids and alkalis likely to be found in a soil environment.

Benefits of ProDrain® Strip Filter Drains:

• lightweight, making it easy to store, handle and install
• available in a variety of sizes to suit your application
• geotextile outer layer, prevents particles from clogging the drain
• dimpled core allows for high flow water levels
• properties- high strength, durabilty and excellent bond qualities
