Technology Fact SheetR02 GEOTECHNICAL SOLUTIONS FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT,RAPID EMBANKMENT CONSTRUCTION, AND STABILIZATION OF PAVEMENT WORKING PLATFORMPREFABRICATED VERTICAL DRAINS WITH AND WITHOUT FILL PRELOADINGB asic Function Prefabrication VERTICAL Drains (PVDs) ( wick drains) are used to accelerate the settlement and shear strength gain of saturated, soft foundation soils by reducing the drainage path length. Advantages: Decreased construction time Low cost No spoil High production rate Durable Simple QC/QA proceduresGeneral Description: PVDs are band shaped (rectangular cross-section) prod-ucts consisting of a geotextile filter material surrounding a plastic core. Fill preloading consists of placing temporary fill on top of the embankment to speed settlement in the foundation soils.
