Multi-residential Basement Strip Drainage from Polyfabrics

Polyfabrics proudly supplied the highly sought-after FreDrain® Strip Drainage system for the basement construction of this multi-residential apartment in Fairfield NSW. In a flat geographic environment, this multi-level property was at risk due to the high levels of groundwater. The architects-in-charge needed a set of strip drains that would efficiently balance both the discharge and infiltration flow rate, preventing hydrostatic water pressure behind the shotcrete.

FreDrain® Strip Drainage was considered the most practical solution for the project due to its open pore space, allowing rapid inflow capacity with sufficient flow rate to the discharge point. They are also deemed to be far more effective than traditional sand or gravel-covered pipe drains because of their lightweight and flexible property, plus they require less space. This strip drainage has successfully averted the outward and downward pressure from the groundwater, preventing any possible basement water problems that may have arisen in the future.
