American Wick Drain (AWD), offers comprehensive drainage solutions for all your subsurface drainage needs. Our drainage products are engineered for durability and high collection capacity, built to withstand installation, backfill, compaction, and long-term stresses.
Our geocomposite drainage products require minimal excavation and cost significantly less than traditional pipe and stone systems, often less than half the installed cost. Lightweight and easy to handle, they streamline installation processes.
With over 40 years of industry leadership, AWD is renowned for our SITEDRAIN™ geocomposite drainage products, widely approved across various markets. Our strategically located manufacturing facilities on the East and West Coasts of the USA ensure shorter lead times and reduced freight costs for our customers.
AWD enables you to apply superior drainage solutions using fewer materials, resulting in savings in cost and time while maintaining high quality.
drainage solutions
AWD manufactures a wide range of products to meet federal and state DOT specifications throughout the US, as well as project-specific requirements in the civil, site, landscape, athletic field, soil consolidation, and other specialty markets worldwide.
SITEDRAIN™ PRODUCTS
Engineered and tested to suit a wide variety of subsurface drainage applications. AWD offers an extensive line of prefabricated sheet, strip, chimney and combination drainage products.
SITEDRAIN™ PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Our optimized system and innovative product line integrate geotextiles with specially designed drainage cores. AWD prefabricated drains offer engineered solutions for a wide range of drainage challenges, effectively collecting and diverting water away from various structures and sites such as retaining walls, concrete slabs, trench drains, and athletic fields.
We manufacture a comprehensive array of products tailored to meet diverse construction needs. Our prefabricated drains feature three-dimensional polymeric cores combined with geotextiles. The robust cores are designed to withstand installation and long-term operational stresses. The geotextile filter fabrics retain soil, concrete, and other backfill materials while allowing water to freely pass into the drainage cores. Our product line includes sheet, strip, chimney, combination, and prefabricated vertical (a.k.a. "wick") drains, each offering engineered solutions to specific drainage requirements.
AWD drains present a cost-effective alternative to traditional pipe and stone systems. Unlike these alternatives, our products conform to ASTM standards for physical and mechanical properties. Key design considerations encompass water flow rates, core compressive strength, and the geotextile's soil filtration capabilities.
We have a proven track record of forging strategic partnerships with manufacturers seeking high-quality drainage components to complement their existing product lines. For information regarding our AWD Private Label programs, please contact our corporate office.
