Embrace enviromentally responsible construction practices with DuraDrain
CeTeau’s DuraDrain is a wick drain that is fully biodegradable. It provides the same geotechnical benefits as traditional wick drains, but after soil consolidation, it completely biodegrades, leaving no plastic residue. By selecting DuraDrain, you can reduce the environmental impact without compromising perfirmance
Informations at your fingertips
Each CeTeau rig can be equipped with a GPS system and data logger that automatically records date, time, installation depth, force, and position of each PVD point, with daily records available
Being able to remotely follow the installation and upload the work drawings greatly increase the productivity and reduce the risk of damages to underground utilities
Trusted by companies all over the world
Still hesitant about your project?
Thinking about how to calculate PVD?
The consolidation time in relation with the hydraulic conductivity of the soil will determine the optimum spacing for PVD installation. The typical installation distance between PVD points is 3 to 5 feet. The installation pattern can be in square or triangular patterns, but triangular patterns are more effective. For a quick calculation of the total length of PVD required, use the CeTeau PVD Calculator.
To easily calculate the total number of PVD points and total quantity of PVD required for different installation patterns, PVD spacing and installation depth, use the PVD calculator below.
