DAEHAN i.m. Bio Hori-Drain® is an innovative eco-friendly horizontal drain designed to provide efficient and sustainable soft ground improvement. As a biodegradable Prefabricated Horizontal Drain (PHD), Bio Hori-Drain® delivers excellent drainage performance during soil consolidation and naturally degrades in the ground after its function is completed, leaving no residual plastic waste behind.
Developed to support environmentally responsible construction practices, Bio Hori-Drain® offers a high-performance alternative to conventional drainage systems while reducing the long-term environmental impact of infrastructure projects.
What is Bio Hori-Drain®?
Bio Hori-Drain® is a biodegradable prefabricated horizontal drain (PHD) used in soft ground improvement applications to facilitate the rapid discharge of excess water during the consolidation process. The drain provides high discharge capacity, ensuring efficient water flow and accelerated soil stabilization.
Unlike traditional plastic drainage products, Bio Hori-Drain® is biologically degraded under natural soil conditions after ground consolidation is completed, making it an environmentally friendly drainage solution for modern geotechnical projects.
Biodegradable horizontal drains are increasingly used in soft ground improvement projects where reducing material waste and improving installation efficiency are important. They provide an effective alternative to traditional sand or gravel drainage layers while supporting sustainable construction practices.
Key Benefits of Bio Hori-Drain®
Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable
Bio Hori-Drain® is manufactured using biodegradable materials that naturally decompose after completing their drainage function, eliminating plastic waste in the ground.
High Discharge Capacity
The advanced design ensures efficient water flow and drainage performance, helping accelerate soil consolidation and improve project timelines.
Sustainable Alternative to Traditional Drainage Systems
Bio Hori-Drain® can economically replace conventional drainage methods that rely on natural sand and aggregate materials, reducing material consumption and environmental impact. Unlike conventional sand or gravel drainage layers, Bio Hori-Drain® reduces material usage and installation time while maintaining efficient drainage performance during soil consolidation.
No Residual Plastic Waste
After consolidation is completed, the drain biodegrades naturally without leaving synthetic materials behind, supporting long-term environmental sustainability.
Cost-Effective Ground Improvement Solution
Its high drainage efficiency and ease of installation make Bio Hori-Drain® a practical and economical choice for large-scale infrastructure and land development projects.
Bio Hori-Drain® can be used in:
- Land reclamation projects
- Coastal infrastructure developments
- Ports and harbors
- Road and railway construction
- Industrial complexes
- Soft ground improvement projects
- Environmentally sensitive construction sites
How Bio Hori-Drain® Works
Bio Hori-Drain® is installed horizontally within the ground improvement system to collect and discharge water released during soil consolidation. Its high discharge capacity enables rapid water movement, reducing consolidation time and improving soil strength.
Once the ground stabilization process is complete, the biodegradable materials gradually decompose under natural soil conditions, leaving no residual plastic waste and helping create a more sustainable construction environment.
