DAEHAN i.m. - Business in Seoul Korea, Korea

The DAEHAN i.m. biodegradable wick drain represents the next generation of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) -- designed to enhance soil consolidation while protecting the environment. Developed with biodegradable materials, this innovative wick drain solution helps accelerate the drainage of pore water in soft soils, reducing construction time for projects such as roads, railways, embankments, and reclamation works.DAEHAN i.m. offers Bio Verti-Drain®, an innovative eco-friendly biodegradable prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) designed for sustainable soft ground improvement. Engineered to deliver the same physical advantages and performance as conventional vertical drains, Bio Verti-Drain® accelerates soil consolidation while minimizing environmental impact. Unlike traditional plastic PVDs, it naturally biodegrades after installation and ground consolidation, leaving no residual plastic waste in the soil. This environmentally responsible solution supports modern infrastructure projects seeking both high-performance ground improvement and long-term sustainability. What is Bio Verti-Drain®? Bio Verti-Drain® is a biodegradable vertical drain specifically developed for ground improvement projects involving soft, compressible soils. The system facilitates the rapid dissipation of excess pore water pressure, accelerating soil consolidation and increasing ground stability for construction activities. Key Benefits of Bio Verti-Drain® - 100% Eco-Friendly Solution Bio Verti-Drain® is manufactured using biodegradable materials that decompose naturally under soil conditions, significantly reducing the environmental footprint of ground improvement projects. - No Residual Plastic Waste After serving its purpose during the consolidation phase, the drain gradually degrades, eliminating long-term plastic contamination in the ground. - Effective Soil Consolidation The product efficiently accelerates the drainage of pore water from soft soils, reducing consolidation time and enabling faster project completion. - Replicates Conventional PVD Performance Bio Verti-Drain® is designed to reproduce the physical and engineering advantages of traditional Verti-Drain® systems, ensuring reliable performance without compromising sustainability. How Bio Verti-Drain® Works Bio Verti-Drain® is installed into soft ground using standard vertical drain installation equipment. Once in place, it creates drainage pathways that allow trapped pore water to escape more quickly under surcharge loading. This accelerated drainage process speeds up soil consolidation, increases shear strength, and improves overall ground stability. After the ground improvement process is completed and the drain has fulfilled its engineering function, the biodegradable materials gradually break down in natural soil conditions, leaving no permanent plastic residue behind. Why Choose Bio Verti-Drain®? Modern construction projects require solutions that balance engineering performance with environmental responsibility. Bio Verti-Drain® provides both by delivering efficient soft soil improvement while supporting sustainable development goals.
