ABG Fildrain Geocomposite
ABG Fildrain is a geocomposite drainage solution designed for use within earthworks and embankments to manage subsurface water
ABG Fildrain combines a high-flow drainage core with geotextile filters to create a consistent, engineered layer that replaces traditional granular drainage. Installed horizontally, it allows water to move freely while helping control pore water pressure and protect the integrity of the structure.
By improving drainage performance and reducing reliance on imported materials, Fildrain supports faster construction, better use of site-won soils, and more efficient project delivery. Its lightweight design and ease of installation make it a practical solution for modern infrastructure and civil projects where time, cost, and sustainability are key considerations.
Applications include:
- Embankment starter layers
- Embankment drainage
- Combined surface and sub-surface drainage
- Embankment basal and consolidation layer
- Embankment counterfort drainage
Frequently Asked Questions
It replaces thick granular drainage layers, delivering the same or better performance with a thinner, engineered system.
Yes – it improves drainage efficiency, allowing more challenging soils to be reused in the construction process.
By accelerating water dissipation and consolidation, it reduces delays and increases workable construction time
Benefits & Features
- Reduces or eliminates the need for imported drainage aggregate
- Speeds up consolidation by relieving pore water pressure
- Enables reuse of site-won or wetter soils as engineered fill
- Lightweight and quick to install, reducing labour and time on site
