UNICAL EASYDRAIN

UNICAL EASYDRAIN is a concrete used in the construction of drainage pavements.‎ Its properties, in the fresh and hardened state, cannot be measured using the typical methods of traditional concretes referred to in standard EN 206.‎ Italian and European standards do not provide references in this regard either.‎ UNICAL EASYDRAIN is offered with two different maximum aggregate sizes (12 and 22 mm) to be chosen according to the type of finish desired.‎ Both provide good crumbling resistance.‎ The wet-earth consistency is the optimum workability for laying, levelling and compacting with typical loose material tools.‎ There are no standard test methods to measure it.‎ The workability, guaranteed 60 minutes from arrival at the site, should be sufficient for laying, given the typical application time.‎ During summer periods, it is advisable to agree with Unical's technicians on the optimal delivery frequency depending on the technical and human resources used for installation.‎ If there is a need to have guaranteed permeability, porosity and compressive strength values to support the structural and hydraulic design of the drainage pavement, or if there is a need to use a drainage concrete dedicated to a specific application, we recommend referring to Unical DRAIN products.‎ The UNICAL EASYDRAIN drainage concrete The management of stormwater runoff on impermeable surfaces in large urban centres has become a priority for administrations.‎ The use of drainage pavements makes it possible to recharge the water table, improve the quality level of the water re-injected into the water body and reduce the runoff of rainwater that, from the impermeable surfaces of metropolitan areas, flows into watercourses during increasingly intense rainfall events.‎ The porosity of drainage pavements allows them to temporarily store and then reintegrate the water from the most intense rain events into the ground.‎ All these properties are achieved against a bearing capacity of the pavement that cannot be found in any other similar solution, such as screeds.‎
