Rooftop Garden Drainage with Drainage Cell
Besides protecting the roof of a house, a rooftop can also be used as a multifunctional area, for example as a garden, usually called a rooftop garden.
A rooftop garden needs plants that must be watered every day or are watered by rain. So good drainage is essential to carry water away and prevent pooling, which can damage and kill the plants.
One drainage method for a rooftop garden is drainage cell.
Drainage cell is a geosynthetic in panel form, made mainly from polypropylene plastic joined into a single unit with an interlocking technique. This makes it easy to use for draining water from below the surface, and drainage cells can also store up to 70% water. Drainage cells can be combined with non-woven geotextile, which acts as a protective and filtration layer.
Advantages of drainage cell include:
- High drainage flow rate.
- Long-lasting durability.
- Easy to install.
- High compressive strength and very lightweight.
- Environmentally friendly.
- Good resistance to chemicals and bacteria

Palm Oil Access Road Reinforcement
The main problem frequently faced by palm oil plantations in Indonesia is the palm oil access road. Repeated damage to road infrastructure, especially during the rainy season, reduces production efficiency. Repairing this damage naturally requires very high vehicle maintenance and road infrastructure costs. This has become a cycle that recurs every year. Geocell […]
HDPE and PVC Geomembranes: Key Differences
Geomembrane liners, which retain water and protect reservoirs from leaks, are among the most important materials to consider when building a reservoir. Several types of geomembrane are available, but the two most commonly used are PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene). Which of the HDPE and PVC geomembranes is better for reservoir construction: PVC […]
