geotechnical material, as an integral part of a man-made product, structure, or system.
B. Normal Direction: Direction perpendicular to the plane of the geotextile.
C. Permittivity: Volumetric flow rate of water per unit cross sectional area per unit head under
laminar flow conditions, in the normal direction through the geotextile.
D. Permeability: Rate of flow of a liquid under a differential pressure through a material.
E. Transmissivity: Flow or amount of liquid water per foot of material width passing through
composite system at certain maximum soil pressure against geotextile at defined hydraulic
gradient.

Use normal duty, single-sided SHEET DRAIN at vertical foundation walls, retaining walls, sloped
bridge abutments, box culverts with high flow and moderate compressive strength requirements.
In addition to SHEET DRAIN applications, use heavy duty, single-sided SHEET DRAIN HS at deep
foundations, vertical lagging, chimney drains, landfill leachate detection systems with moderate flow
rates and high compressive strength requirements.
Use single-sided DECK DRAIN at horizontal applications such as plaza decks and terrace gardens
with pedestrian loads only, and planter boxers.

C. Application of drain to (concrete)(waterproofing) or (protection board).
1. General construction grade adhesives compatible with dampproofing or waterproofing
compound.
2. Pressure sensitive adhesive.
3. Mastic used for membrane application.
Many sealants and adhesives are temperature dependent. A tendency in cold weather is to use
mechanical fasteners. Call Greenstreak for specific recommendations/precautions for use or
mechanical fasteners. Mechanical fasteners are not acceptable when penetration of a waterproofing
membrane may occur.
4. Furring strips: Pressure treated lumber specified in Rough Carpentry Section.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01
EXAMINATION
A. Verify indicated components of waterproofing system have been installed. Verify
horizontal applications have sufficient slope to drain. Verify sufficient slope to collection
pipes for subdrainage systems. Substrates to be dry, dew and frost free, and free of dust
or other materials which prevent adhesion of drain board to substrate.
B. Submit written notification of unacceptable conditions or substrates.
3.02
INSTALLATION
A. Overlap two rows of dimples and mechanically interlock with rubber mallet. Lap excess
fabric a minimum of 3 inch at splices and secure fabric lap as necessary with adhesive.
Shingle laps in the direction of flow.
B. Face fabric towards hydrostatic source and face core towards subgrade structure.
C. Lap excess sheet drain fabric over and around collection drainage pipe. Place core
behind perimeter collection pipe. Invert elevation of collection pipe to be below
construction joint in vertical subgrade structure.
D. Verify backfill performed in compacted lifts. Sequence tall applications requiring bands of
drain board with backfill to accommodate drain board vertical movement during
compaction.
E. Secure subdrainage system material to substrate.
F. Roll and tuck excess fabric at terminations of drain board to back of core to prevent
intrusion of soils into core.
G. Promptly cover drain board to protect from damage by wind or UV’s.
H. Repair tears or punctures of fabric with new filter fabric adhered over damaged area.
