Golden Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD) is a ground improvement solution designed to accelerate consolidation of soft clay and saturated soils. It shortens drainage paths, allowing excess pore water pressure to dissipate faster, thereby improving soil strength and reducing settlement time.

How It Works

• Core: High-strength plastic core providing continuous vertical drainage

• Filter Jacket: Non-woven geotextile that allows water ingress while retaining soil particles

• Installation: Installed vertically into soft ground using mandrel equipment

Key Functions & Applications

• Ground Improvement: Accelerates consolidation of soft soils

• Settlement Reduction: Minimises post-construction settlement

• Infrastructure Projects: Highways, embankments, airports, ports, and reclamation works

• Soft Soil Treatment: Ideal for marine clay and reclaimed land

• Time & Cost Efficient: Reduces construction time compared to conventional methods
