Aquadrain is a prefabricated drainage composite consisting of a heavy filter fabric adhered to a high strength plastic drainage core. It effectively collects and conveys water to a drainpipe for discharge. The filter fabric is adhered to the top of the polymeric core dimples, thus preventing the backfill from pushing the fabric into the flow channel to reduce water flow. The filter fabric allows the water to pass into the 3-dimesional drainage core while restricting the passage of soil particles.
