Draincore2

Draincore2 is a high volume drainage layer capable of withstanding heavy loads in direct contact. This drainage core is wrapped in a geotextile fabric, which allows water to enter from any direction, with the rings placed vertically or horizontally. Water can flow between rings in either vertical or lateral directions simultaneously. Flow volumes can be matched with multiple layer configurations. Draincore2 can distribute water at 42 gallons per minute per foot width, twice the conveyance rate of a pipe and gravel system.

Competitive Advantages:

• High conveyance rate-42 gpm per foot width
• Flexible and durable grid system to fit unusual contours
• Provides insulating air layer from extreme temperatures
• Efficient “void” space for heating or cooling systems
• High compression strength-2100 psi

Environmental Benefits:

• Urban heat island mitigation in a “green roof”
• Provide oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water to vegetation roots
• Made from 100% recycled plastic
• Protect existing tree roots for a sustainable site

Stormwater Benefits:

• Capture, detain, and convey
• Biofiltration of stormwater
• Create onsite wetlands for treatment of wastewater
• Reduces runoff volume, rate, and temperature

Applications:

• Infiltration basin collector and conveyance
• Cutoff drain for surface and subsurface flow
• Constructed wetlands
• Foundation and retaining wall drainage
• Roof deck and planter drainage
• Sports turf drainage system
• Landfill cap and/or drainage construction

Beachrings2

Beachrings2 System has provided access over sand surfaces to all individuals, including the disabled since 1986. The patented Beachrings2 System is manufactured using injection molding for precise size, color, porosity, lighter weight, and lower cost. Rings, ribs, and solid sheet confine sand and prevent it from shifting away under the weight of people, wheelchairs, etc. Sand provides support; a strong plastic surface, which conforms to the ground, provides durability and traction. Our rolls provide a boardwalk wide enough for one or two wheelchairs, or a platform for special events.

Beachrings2 provides an attractive, comfortable, and slip-resistant surface for people walking barefoot, in shoes (even high heels!), assisted by walkers or crutches, and for vehicles including; wheelchairs, strollers, bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles (emergency and law enforcement). Beachrings2’s standard bright Colorado Sky Blue color makes your access path visible and inviting to users. Gray and Tan colors are also available.

Competitive Advantages:

• High wear resistance
• Flexibility in cold temperatures
• Longer lasting Color
• Light weight
• Portable and reusable
• Easy to install and store

Environmental Benefits:

• Made from 100% recycled plastic
• Protects fragile environments by controlling access from the parking areas to the shoreline, thus encouraging users to stay off sensitive vegetated areas
• Reduced site disturbance

Applications:

• Wheelchair, handicapped, and stroller access to beaches
• Election day access to voting booths and sites
• Emergency vehicle access on sand, mud, or snow
• Temporary cemetery and funeral access to plots and markers
• Festival, display, and pedestrian event access

GEOGRIDS

Secugrid® and Enkagrid geogrids are the next generation of geogrids produced with state of the art manufacturing technology, unlike any other geogrid on the marketplace today. These geogrids reinforcement consists of a polypropylene or polyester bar that is uniformly extruded and drawn to achieve a high modulus and strength at low elongations. Combined with patented welding technology, these geogrids provides a structurally sound and stable product. These geogrids are mainly used for base reinforcement, mechanically stabilized earth walls (MSE) construction including veneer stabilization, the segmental retaining wall market, embankment reinforcement and pile cap platforms.

Competitive Advantages:

• Excellent tensile strengths at low elongations
• Absorbs and distributes tensile forces and stresses induced into the soil
• Interlocking structure minimizes soil deformation
• High resistance to installation damage
• High resistance against biological and chemical attack
• Quick and easy to install

Applications:

• Slope stabilization
• Classified road construction and heavily trafficked areas
• Landfill base liners
• Reinforcement of retaining walls
• Soft subsoils
• Pipeline construction
• Stability in areas prone to collapsing subgrades

GEOTEXTILES
Geotextile products are used to satisfy the most complex applications for drainage, filtration, separation, stabilization, cushioning and asphalt overlay. All geotextile products sold by Engineered Earth Systems meet or exceed the most stringent regulatory requirements. AS a customer you can depend on EES for technical support, customer service, and quick response—all at a competitive price.

NONWOVEN GEOTEXTILE
Nonwoven geotextile are needle-punched and made of 100% polypropylene staple fibers, which are formed into a random network for dimensional stability for both Civil and Environmental applications. All geotextile products resist ultraviolet deterioration, rotting, biological degradation, naturally encountered basics and acids. Polypropylene is stable within a pH range of 2 to 13. Nonwoven geotextiles are manufactured from 2 to 32 ounces per square yard and can be produced from both polypropylene and polyester fibers

WOVEN GEOTEXTILES
Woven geotextiles are made from polypropylene materials that offer optimum performance when used in various stabilization or filtration applications. Produced from first quality raw materials, they provide the perfect balance of strength and separation in styles capable of functioning exceptionally well in a wide range of performance requirements.
