Drainage Cell

Drainage Cell

Drainage Cells are modular, lightweight panels designed for efficient subsurface water management and vertical drainage in construction and landscaping projects. These high-strength plastic structures create a void space for rapid water flow while preventing waterlogging and structural damage.

At Prime Terratech, a leading drainage cell manufacturer, we offer high-performance drainage systems that are easy to install, eco-friendly, and suitable for green roofs, podium gardens, retaining walls, basements, and planter boxes. Our drainage cells are manufactured using high-quality polypropylene, making them resistant to chemicals, root penetration, and high loads.

The interlocking design and high compressive strength make them ideal for heavy-duty applications in commercial, residential, and industrial projects. With various sizes and configurations available, Prime Terratech drainage cells offer long-lasting drainage and waterproofing solutions for sustainable architecture.

Product Details

Drainage Cells from Prime Terratech are engineered to offer high-capacity subsurface drainage and waterproofing solutions. These modular plastic structures create a permanent void between waterproofing membranes and overburden materials, allowing continuous drainage and aeration for healthy plant growth and long-term structural protection.

Manufactured from durable polypropylene, our drainage cells are highly resistant to biological and chemical degradation, making them suitable for a wide range of construction and landscaping environments. They are ideal for use beneath paving, in green roofs, planter boxes, retaining walls, podiums, and basement waterproofing systems.

With an interlocking modular design, our drainage cells are quick to install and adapt to any layout. Their high compressive strength supports heavy loads, including pedestrian and vehicular traffic, without losing structural integrity. The open structure allows water to flow freely while maintaining soil and root separation, preventing waterlogging and hydrostatic pressure.

Why Choose Our Drainage Cells:

  • High compressive strength for heavy-duty applications
  • Chemical- and root-resistant polypropylene material
  • Lightweight, modular design for easy installation
  • Efficient water flow and aeration system
  • Proven performance in sustainable building projects

As a trusted Drainage Cell manufacturer, Prime Terratech ensures strict quality control, on-time delivery, and technical assistance to meet the demands of modern architecture and landscaping.

FAQ's

Q1: What is a drainage cell used for?
A: Drainage cells are used to facilitate water flow beneath hardscaping, green roofs, planter boxes, and other construction areas to prevent water retention and structural damage.

Q2: Are your drainage cells root-resistant?
A: Yes, our polypropylene material is specifically engineered to resist root intrusion and microbial activity.

Q3: What sizes are available?
A: We offer drainage cells in 20mm, 30mm, and 50mm thickness with modular 500mm x 500mm panels. Custom sizes are also available on request.

Q4: Can your drainage cells handle vehicular load?
A: Absolutely. Our high-strength drainage cells are designed to support vehicular traffic in podiums and driveways.

Q5: How are the drainage cells installed?
A: They interlock using clip-on edges and are laid over waterproofing membranes, followed by a filter layer and soil or concrete top layers.
