Prefabricated Vertical Drain

Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD) is a geosynthetic drainage solution designed to accelerate the consolidation of soft soils. It consists of a vertical drainage core wrapped in a geotextile filter, allowing water to flow through while preventing soil particles from entering. PVDs are commonly used in ground improvement projects, such as embankment construction and foundation stabilization, to enhance soil drainage and reduce settlement. Their efficient design and ease of installation make them a preferred choice for geotechnical engineers.
