Wick Drains

Wick Drains can be of significant assistance in increasing the speed of consolidation of very soft soils and ultimately increasing the shear strength of the soil such that some engineering structure may be constructed.
Cirtex offers the CeTeau range of Wick Drains which consist of a specially designed polypropylene core extruded into a unique configuration to transmit maximum water flow on both sides of the core.
The core is fully wrapped in a Non Woven GeoTextile filter that is ultrasonically welded to maintain effective filtration. The main design advantage of this core structure is the resistance to pinching off flow when distorted under the effects of ground consolidation.
Cirtex wick drains have been used extensively throughout New Zealand for many years, and are the leading brand worldwide by volume used.
