Going Beyond Compressive Strength: How We Designed a Better Drainboard
This webinar is brought to you by Building Design+Construction and dörken
Date RECORDED: March 5, 2024
duration: 60 minutes
The drainboard market has been lacking in innovation. Little thought is put into their selection; the process typically boils down to comparing the weight-bearing strength of the products, and picking the higher number.
But a higher compressive strength doesn’t mean a higher drainage capacity. Our engineers went beyond strength, and focused on material, composition, installation, and quality-of-life improvements to design a new, better drainboard, and thus a more effective water management system.
This webinar will focus on what today’s standard drainboards offer and lack, and where the industry is heading with the latest innovations in drainboard technology, including new materials, design features, and installation versatility. We will also cover the applications and benefits of geosynthetic drainage systems in various common construction projects.
Learning Objectives
Identify the fundamental components of various drain composite materials and their function and purpose
Describe the details of the ASTM tests and compressive strength (guidelines) versus real-life performance
Discuss the considerations when selecting appropriate drainage mats in real-life applications
List the long-term benefits of selecting an appropriate drainage mat in relation to the cost/investment of a project
