Bridge Abutment Dewatering Solutions

JET Filter weep hole components seamlessly integrate into Bridge Abutments, enhancing proper drainage and extending the structural integrity of walls.

The JET Filter System is ideal for dewatering Bridge Abutments, Wing Walls, and Slope Protection

The JET Filter is an innovative flush mount geocomposite wick drainage system specifically designed for permanent installation on the front side of bridge abutments. This advanced system effectively prevents the loss of soil and backfill material through weep holes, which can otherwise lead to structural issues and costly repairs. Additionally, the JET Filter is engineered for ease of maintenance; it can be easily unclogged when necessary to relieve panel stress and ensure optimal performance over time. By integrating this system into infrastructure, such as a bridge abutment, you not only protect the integrity of your structure but also extend its lifespan by addressing potential drainage issues before they escalate.

George Washington Memorial Parkway Sinkhole Failure

Proper maintenance and regular inspections are crucial for avoiding major disasters. Without adequate drainage, water run-off can weaken the structure by eroding the material that provides essential support. Furthermore, poor drainage can lead to significant challenges by causing water to settle behind the wall, saturating the soil and exerting incredible pressure that may eventually compromise the stability of the entire structure. Addressing these issues proactively through maintenance and inspections ensures long-term structural integrity and safety.
