Sheet Drain

AWD Sheet Drains are prefabricated geocomposite products consisting of a dimpled polymeric core bonded to one or more layers of woven or nonwoven geotextile.

• Functionality: The geotextile layer filters out soil and debris while allowing water to pass freely into the core.
• Applications: Ideal for use behind retaining walls, foundation walls, and under concrete slabs to direct water away from structures and reduce hydrostatic pressure.

Strip Drain

AWD Strip Drains combine a formed polymeric drainage core with a filter fabric bonded to one or both sides.

Applications: Commonly used for trench drains, athletic fields, and other linear drainage needs where efficient water redirection is critical.

Functionality: The filter fabric prevents soil intrusion into the core’s flow channels, ensuring consistent water flow and performance over time.
