Civil Engineering
EnkaDrain ensures excellent drainage for an underground car park, and prevents the risk of accumulating rainwater above.
When the Netherlands town of Ede began to run out of parking space, a plan was developed to reconstruct the central market square. It would provide for a new underground parking lot, while giving the square above a face lift. However, the new look would be spoiled if inadequate drainage caused puddles in the square. The additional weight created by the permanent presence of water would also be a problem.
A layer of EnkaDrain (5004C/5-2s/T110PP) was fitted under the pavement of the parking deck. This would divert any rainwater that penetrated the upper layer to a central drainage point. EnkaDrain also has the advantage of being extremely resistant to pressure from high top loads – a benefit for the car park’s construction. Even at 20 tons per m2 it still achieves impressive water drainage.

Soil Consolidation & Land Reclamation
The large size of the EnkaDrain rolls made for a speedy installation. It was easily rolled out over the parking deck, with the overlaps in the correct place. The drain was installed directly onto the sub- and adjacent structure. The result was highly effective drainage, a quick build, and a pristine market square.
Preventing damage to road structures by draining edges and soil embankments to maintain the soil's strength.
Cost-effective and sustainable schemes to optimise minimal available land space when creating new infrastructure. Reduces the need for removing in-situ materials or importing new materials.
On coastal reclamation works, the finished ground profile may not settle evenly. Releasing the groundwater and reducing the pore water pressure quickly allows you to complete consolidation settlement while reclamation works and infrastructure installation are underway.
