How do you manage hydrostatic pressure behind earth retaining structures?
Water saturation can increase hydrostatic pressure behind retaining structures, which increases active earth pressure leading to eventual failure, threatening both assets and public safety.
Unlike conventional weep holes, the innovative Plati-Drain™ provides deep penetration behind temporary or permanent structures to reduce hydrostatic pressure and associated risks and can also be paired with a Platipus ground anchor system to provide simultaneous draining and restraining capability.
