Hi-Drain

Hi-Drain: Regulating The Flow Of Water
In construction and civil engineering there are a number of challenges regarding water. Keeping some water in and some water out is a very serious topic in Johannesburg, where acid mine mater is fast pushing towards the surface and towards a number of buildings’ foundations. Though the problem needs to be fought at the source, there might be a way to minimise the damage that is sure to come if the mine water keeps rising.
Hi-Drain is a synthetic sheet that can be engineered towards your application and is a type of Geo-Drain, which acts as a liquid management tool. Hi-Drain is a product used to detect leakage detection in water storage facilities such as water reservoirs and dams. It aids in canalising rain and storm water, which is important in industrial scenarios where water poses a threat to health and safety. It protects against damp which may cause damage in whare houses to inventory or machinery. 
Another important aspect of Hi-Drain is the fact that it carries out a drainage system function. Liquid may inevitably find its way through the membranes of the structure that holds the liquid in place. This is when there should be a drainage system in working order to safely guide the liquid to its next facility.
Hi-Drain may be used in civil engineering, mining, construction and more. Examples of where you may find Hi-Drain are amongst others, underneath water supply operations such as tanks and sewerage plants, underneath the soil of your roof garden, in shopping malls, buildings, roads, in mining structures and as a barrier against the leaking of harmful liquids into the soil such as toxic waste landfills.
A company that operates internationally and that has extensive experience in the design and supply of civil engineering project materials such as Hi-Drain, is GAST. Please contact them for more information.
