BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SOMTUBE FTB / DRAINTUBE FTP

SOMTUBE® FTB or DRAINTUBE® FTP are designed for draining water from the subformation level, under the concrete slab to replace traditional draining subbases (granular materials and angled drains).

This system can operate continuously in the groundwater table. It must be connected to a network of drainage trenches and a discharge point (lifting unit).

The polyethylene film makes it possible to pour a slab directly onto the product with no risk of clogging the geotextile due to concrete laitance.
