SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE
MRC works with product engineers to determine the best and most appropriate sub-base and subsurface drainage for each proposed road traffic and civil construction terrain. We prefer to use Keytech geosynthetic drainage products such as Bidim, Geo-Pipe, Flo-drain, Megaflo, Dumple-drain and Zip-drain for
MRC is also an applicator for Rocla reticulation products, which include sewer pipes, concrete manholes and culverts. These are tried and tested engineering products installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
At MRC, we acknowledge that water is a powerful and destructive element that can destroy our work unless appropriate precautions are taken during the construction period. Over a period of time it can erode even bedrock, so it is little wonder that water can weaken the sub-bases of roads that lack appropriate subsurface drainage and eventually cause the road surfaces to collapse into cracks and potholes.
The risk of damage to a tar road can be minimized by appropriate base preparation and reticulation. You can cut initial costs and take a chance by just laying a tar road, but the chances are good that rainwater will wreak havoc in just one wet season. This false economy will send you back to look for a contractor like MasterTar that has extensive experience of repairing roads damaged by water action.
If your project would benefit from MRC’s expertise in subsurface drainage, please just give us a call!
Geo-pipe has 70% open area for accelerated soil drainage.
Flo-drains drain water from Geo-pipes into reticulation systems.
Bidum is a Keytech brandname geosynthetic filter that prevents anything but water from entering Geopipes and fin drains.
Rockcrid
Rocla produces a range of concrete drainage pipes and manholes. It also produces the Eco-rain water utilisation system.
