Enkadrain – Drainage management on a roll
Introduction
Managing soil-borne liquids and their effects on construction projects Basement walls
is a major challenge for engineers and builders around the world.

Whether it is naturally occurring groundwater or liquid waste to

be separated, monitored or controlled, each and every instance is

uniquely demanding. Over the last twenty-five years, geocomposite
drainage management systems have become increasingly
widespread, replacing traditional methods. Road Edge Drains

The Family
Enkadrain sparked off the geocomposite drainage revolution

over twenty-five years ago. Today, the product range is
extensive and continually expanding as new applications lead
to tailor-made solutions.
Colbond engineers have a matrix of core and filter material types,

structures and production techniques at their disposal, from which
the Enkadrain family is grouped into five broad types:

Enkadrain
Premium
Enkadrain Premium is a high-performance geocomposite offering Applications

excellent flow rates at low hydraulic gradients. In vertical drainage
applications, Enkadrain Premium is used behind bridge abutments,
concrete retaining walls, basements of multi-storey buildings,
tunnels etc.
Horizontal applications include sub-surface layers in roof top parking

and roof gardens where its high compressive strength, low volume and
weight offer significant advantages compared to conventional materials.
In the heat of the desert sun near

Phoenix, Arizona, highway engineers
building the Agua Fria highway specified
Enkadrain Premium as the drainage layer
beneath the concrete lining forming the
massive storm drainage channels
alongside the highway. Enkadrain has
unique free-draining characteristics and
withstands installation stresses with
an increased safety factor against
catastrophic failure.
The geocomposite was chosen in

preference to a traditional aggregate
filter for its ease of handling and
installation on the 1:3 slope of the channel Phoenix, Arizona
sides. Rebar or wire mesh was placed Water drainage layer
directly on the Enkadrain mat before the
low-slump concrete was poured. Over
36,000 square meters of Enkadrain
Premium were installed.

Enkadrain
Standard
For fast, cost-effective insulation, protection and drainage, Applications

construction engineers are finding Enkadrain Standard is the
solution. Cut lengths from the small rolls can easily be held in place
against shuttering or walls and either nailed or bonded in place.
Enkadrain Standard delivers high productivity and reliable results.
In many parts of the world, new

housing often incorporates basements
and cellars that must be protected from
water ingress. Enkadrain Standard
provides a fast and reliable way of
installing effective vertical drainage
that also protects the building’s external
waterproofing layer. It is also tough
enough to withstand backfilling and
compaction without damage.
In Germany, rolls of Enkadrain Standard

are available at selected merchants,

CK Types
For specialist applications in tunneling and for complex formwork, Applications

Colbond has developed the CK range of geocomposites that feature
either an impervious PVC surface layer or coated filter on one side.
Enkadrain CK saves space, cuts excavation volume and can act as
a flexible waterproof drainage and protective sheet between adjacent
buildings or on the outside of tunnels. Enkadrain CK can also serve
as lost formwork.
When prominent German bankers

SüdwestLB (now LBBW) built a new
eleven-storey banking and business
center in the heart of downtown
Stuttgart, the construction posed a
number of major problems. The site,
bordered on three sides by buildings,
was very narrow and the three-storey
16 meter deep basement had to be
isolated from the adjacent buildings
and the nearby road with sufficient
drainage for groundwater.
Over 17,000 square meters of

Enkadrain CK were installed on the
external surfaces of the below-ground Stuttgart, Germany
construction, ensuring excellent Lost shuttering
drainage and protection. In addition,
the Enkadrain CK geocomposite served
as a noise barrier, a shield against
electromagnetic interference and as
a flexible infill between the adjacent
buildings and the piled curtain walling.

Enkadrain
The Properties
Handling
Enkadrain is normally supplied in 1 m or 2 m wide rolls of manageable size and weight that are packed
in plastic bags to enable them to be stored outside. The filter layers extend 100 mm beyond the core
to provide an overlap with adjoining strips. The overlap is folded into the roll during packing.
Enkadrain Wide is supplied in rolls of 5 meters width and 650 - 850 mm diameter on carton cores in
a sealed plastic wrapping. Rolls should be stored in the original wrapping, laid flat and not more than
three rolls high to avoid deforming the lowest rolls. The rolls should be lifted with a spreader bar and
a steel rod or tube through the central core of the roll.
Easy handling Installation

Enkadrain is light and can be cut easily with a pocketknife or shears. Its flexibility ensures that
Enkadrain can be fitted accurately around corners and other structural features with negligible waste.
All Enkadrain types can be installed quickly and easily: non-specialist laborers can achieve rates of
25 to 30 m2/ h for vertical installation (10 to 15 m2/ h for CK types). In vertical drainage Enkadrain is
usually installed working from the top of the wall to the bottom and fixed by nailing, tacking, or gluing.
Enkadrain protects the external waterproofing layer from mechanical damage and the collector drain
from clogging, allowing the excavated material to be re-used as backfill.
Unrolling Enkadrain Wide requires two men, one on each side of the roll. On slopes, the material
should be unrolled from the top of the slope to the bottom. Enkadrain Wide should be unrolled directly
Simple tools into its desired location, as repositioning after unrolling is not recommended.
Transport and storage

Enkadrain is easy to transport and the rolls can be stacked and stored outside.
Chemical resistance
Since Enkadrain is manufactured using manmade materials (polyamide, polyester and polyolefin) it
possesses outstanding resistance to all chemicals in concentrations commonly occurring in the soil.
Testing
All new Enkadrain products are rigorously tested in Colbond's own laboratories. If required, certification
to relevant national and international standards is obtained from independent organizations such as
Fast installation LGA & tBU (Germany), EMPA (Switzerland) and CEMAGREF (France). Enkadrain has been tested and
approved by the majority of European rail authorities including DB (Germany) and SNCF (France) and
also road authorities including CFTR (France).
All Enkadrain product Every Enkadrain product is manufactured to the

types are CE-certified highest standards, with the assurance of ISO
by a notified body 9001:2000 accreditation (certificate no. 935136).
(no. 0799-CPD). From raw material through manufacture, shipping,
on-site storage, installation and service, Enkadrain
products benefit from Colbond’s years of experience
and extensive resources.

For a certain type of Enkadrain at 64 kPa the discharge capacity is: a) Use of a combination of flow net, soil
permeability and hydrological information

interpolation 0.47 - x (0.47 - 0.19) = 0.39 l/s.m
100 - 50 Kv gravel = 10-3 m/s => 0.3 m gravel column = 0.3 l/s.m

For horizontal roof Pa = • h kPa
Example B = weight of soil kN/m3
• Roof garden hydraulic gradient equals 1% over 10 m drain length ka = coefficient of active earth pressure
• Soil cover 0.4 m with unit weight of 18 kN/m3 h = height of wall or soil thickness
• Rainfall 20 mm in one hour. 20 mm/hr = 20 l/hr.m2 = 0.0055 l/s.m2
