Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
PBD (Plastic Board Drain): Pocket-type plastic board drains with corrugated (VD55, VD55R, VD60, VD60R) and harmonica-shaped (VD75, VD75R, VD80, VD90, VD80R) cores, combining high-intensity polypropylene cores with filters. Corrugated types are suitable for installation depths around 20m with cost-effectiveness. Harmonica types are widely used for depths around 30m.PBD(PlasticBoardDrain):Pocket-typeplasticboarddrainswithcorrugated(VD55,VD55R,VD60,VD60R)andharmonica-shaped(VD75,VD75R,VD80,VD90,VD80R)cores,combininghigh-intensitypolypropylenecoreswithfilters.Corrugatedtypesaresuitableforinstallationdepthsaround20mwithcost-effectiveness.Harmonicatypesarewidelyusedfordepthsaround30m.
C-PBD (Cylindrical PBD): Cylindrical PBD designed to improve drainage performance issues caused by filter intrusion under lateral earth pressure, featuring a repetitive cylindrical perforated pipe and cross-core structure for stable long-term drainage under high pressure. It boasts 2.3 to 3.2 times higher drainage performance compared to conventional products and overcomes filter dependency. Models include C-PBD, C-PBDR.C-PBD(CylindricalPBD):CylindricalPBDdesignedtoimprovedrainageperformanceissuescausedbyfilterintrusionunderlateralearthpressure,featuringarepetitivecylindricalperforatedpipeandcross-corestructureforstablelong-termdrainageunderhighpressure.Itboasts2.3to3.2timeshigherdrainageperformancecomparedtoconventionalproductsandovercomesfilterdependency.ModelsincludeC-PBD,C-PBDR.
PCD (Plastic Cylindrical Drain): An asymmetrical spiral perforated pipe, the first vertical drain to receive new technology certification, preventing creasing or cutting by ground deformation or multilayer structures and offering superior drainage efficiency.

CHD (Cylindrical Horizontal Drain): A cylindrical horizontal drain developed as a complete substitute for aggregate drainage layers in soft ground improvement, exhibiting superior water permeability compared to high-quality aggregates. It is a standardized factory-produced item ensuring easy quality control, with models CHD 200, CHD 300, CHDR 200, CHDR 300 available.CHD(CylindricalHorizontalDrain):Acylindricalhorizontaldraindevelopedasacompletesubstituteforaggregatedrainagelayersinsoftgroundimprovement,exhibitingsuperiorwaterpermeabilitycomparedtohigh-qualityaggregates.Itisastandardizedfactory-produceditemensuringeasyqualitycontrol,withmodelsCHD200,CHD300,CHDR200,CHDR300available.
HHD (Harmonica type Horizontal Drain): A harmonica-type horizontal drain, a fully filtered, prefabricated subsoil drainage system consisting of a plastic inner harmonica core overwrapped with a geotextile filter fabric. Models include HHD100, HHD200, HHD300, HHDR100, HHDR200, HHDR300.HHD(HarmonicatypeHorizontalDrain):Aharmonica-typehorizontaldrain,afullyfiltered,prefabricatedsubsoildrainagesystemconsistingofaplasticinnerharmonicacoreoverwrappedwithageotextilefilterfabric.ModelsincludeHHD100,HHD200,HHD300,HHDR100,HHDR200,HHDR300.
S-PBD (Biodegradable PBD): An eco-friendly biodegradable plastic board drain for soft ground improvement, designed to biodegrade by microorganisms in the soil after the consolidation period. It offers additional effects such as soil fertilization and removal of pollutants within the earth, including models like S-VD60, S-VD80, S-CPBD.S-PBD(BiodegradablePBD):Aneco-friendlybiodegradableplasticboarddrainforsoftgroundimprovement,designedtobiodegradebymicroorganismsinthesoilaftertheconsolidationperiod.Itoffersadditionaleffectssuchassoilfertilizationandremovalofpollutantswithintheearth,includingmodelslikeS-VD60,S-VD80,S-CPBD.
Vacuum Consolidation: A method applying vacuum pressure through horizontal pipes directly connected to vertically installed C-PBD or PCD to accelerate the consolidation of soft ground. This technique enables rapid and reliable ground improvement, contributing to shorter construction periods and cost savings, and is an environmentally friendly method.VacuumConsolidation:AmethodapplyingvacuumpressurethroughhorizontalpipesdirectlyconnectedtoverticallyinstalledC-PBDorPCDtoacceleratetheconsolidationofsoftground.Thistechniqueenablesrapidandreliablegroundimprovement,contributingtoshorterconstructionperiodsandcostsavings,andisanenvironmentallyfriendlymethod.
