3D Composite Drainage Net and Traditional Gravel Drainage System Comparison

2025/11/24 15:24

The 3D composite drainage net not only resolves the two core problems of excessive self-weight and easy blockage that exist in traditional drainage layers, but also brings new improvements in terms of construction efficiency, space saving, and total life cycle cost.And it can be customized with different widths of HDPE composite drainage nets according to the terrain conditions.


comparison

3D Composite drainage Net

Traditional gravel drainage

Materials &self-weigh

Mainly HDPE and geotextile, lightweight

Gravel, heavy weight

Transportation and handing

Easy transportation, with high efficiency and low cost.

Time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly

Construction efficiency

High, Mechanical or manual rapid laying

Low, Layered paving, complex process and long cycle

Drainage efficiency

High water conductivity, stable and efficient drainage channels

The water conductivity is affected by the compaction degree of the   gravel and the amount of sediment contained.

Occupying space

Ultrathin, little space

Thick, large space


Total cost

Low(Reduce transportation, labor, machinery, construction period   and long-term maintenance costs)

High(High transportation, construction and post-operation   maintenance costs)



Long-term performance

The performance is stable, resistant to chemical corrosion, with   low creep, long service life, and the geotextile effectively prevents   blockage.

It is prone to being clogged by fine particles and chemical   precipitation, resulting in a gradual decline in drainage capacity over time.
