Biodegradable Horizontal Drain for Soft Ground Improvement | DAEHAN i.m.

The Bio Hori Drain by DAEHAN i.m. is an innovative biodegradable horizontal drain (PHD) designed to accelerate soil consolidation in soft ground while protecting the environment. Developed using biodegradable materials, the Bio Hori Drain provides an eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic horizontal drainage systems commonly used in land reclamation, embankment construction, and infrastructure development. This next-generation prefabricated horizontal drain offers exceptional drainage efficiency, structural reliability, and environmental sustainability, making it ideal for modern ground improvement projects that demand both performance and eco-consciousness.

 

Manufactured from advanced biodegradable polymers such as PBS and PLA, the Bio Hori Drain naturally decomposes over time, reducing the environmental footprint associated with long-term synthetic waste. Despite its biodegradable nature, the drain is engineered to retain high mechanical strength and stable discharge capacity throughout the consolidation period. Its unique design ensures consistent water flow and high drainage efficiency, allowing faster pore water removal and quicker soil stabilization. By promoting rapid consolidation, the system significantly shortens construction schedules and helps achieve stronger, more stable foundations in a shorter timeframe.

 

The Bio Hori Drain is purpose-built for horizontal installation, enabling efficient lateral drainage beneath embankments and other soft-ground structures. It can be easily applied in a wide variety of soil types, including clayey and silty terrains, and is particularly effective in projects where environmental protection is a key consideration. Common applications include highway and railway embankments, coastal and port reclamation projects, industrial zones, and other infrastructure built over compressible soils.

 

By adopting the biodegradable PHD technology, construction projects can achieve a significant reduction in environmental impact while maintaining the technical performance of conventional systems. The Bio Hori Drain’s biodegradability eliminates the issue of long-term synthetic residues in the soil, aligning with global sustainability standards and supporting green certification goals. Moreover, its high drainage capacity and ease of installation contribute to cost savings by reducing project timelines and minimizing the need for extended settlement periods.
