Innovative Geotechnical Drain Solutions for Ground Improvement | DAEHAN i.m.

DAEHAN i.m. is a leading provider of advanced geotechnical drain systems designed to improve soil stability, accelerate consolidation, and enhance the performance of weak ground. Their cutting-edge drainage technologies — including the innovative wing horizontal drain — provide efficient and reliable solutions for managing pore water pressure and promoting rapid ground settlement in civil and geotechnical projects. Whether for highways, embankments, reclamation sites, or industrial developments, DAEHAN delivers high-performance drainage products that ensure long-term stability, durability, and cost-effective construction outcomes.

A geotechnical drain is a specialized drainage system used in ground improvement applications to remove excess pore water from soft or saturated soils. By facilitating water discharge, geotechnical drains accelerate soil consolidation, reduce settlement time, and significantly improve the bearing capacity of the ground. DAEHAN geotechnical drains are engineered for high discharge capacity under long-term loading and offer superior filtration performance with excellent resistance to clogging. They are also designed for outstanding chemical and biological durability, ensuring reliable operation in diverse soil conditions. Furthermore, their simple and efficient installation process allows seamless use with conventional ground improvement equipment. These systems are ideally suited for soft ground improvement, soil stabilization, road and railway embankments, reclamation projects, and slope drainage systems.

Among DAEHAN’s innovative technologies, the wing horizontal drain (WHD) stands out as a signature solution in horizontal drainage. Designed to be installed horizontally in soft ground or beneath embankments, the Wing Horizontal Drain provides an efficient drainage path that accelerates pore water dissipation and enhances consolidation performance. Unlike conventional vertical drains, the wing horizontal drain can be installed at precise depths, allowing for more controlled and uniform settlement across the project area. This leads to faster consolidation, improved soil strength, and reduced construction time — all while maintaining structural integrity.

The wing horizontal drain features a high-strength geosynthetic core that ensures structural stability and superior water flow capacity. Its excellent filtration performance and easy handling make it ideal for installation in confined or shallow areas. Additionally, it is compatible with vertical drain systems, enabling integrated and efficient ground improvement solutions. With its proven ability to accelerate consolidation, reduce pore water pressure, and promote uniform settlement, the wing horizontal drain offers a cost-effective, environmentally safe, and long-lasting approach to soft ground improvement.
