Normally a granular drainage blanket is provided over the area treated with vertical drains in order to facilitate the dissipation of porewater at ground surface level. As the underlying compressible soil is usually unable to directly support construction plant, the drainage blanket should also function as a foundation platform for the construction plant. It is advisable to use a geotextile sheet beneath the drainage blanket to prevent loss of granular material into the soft deposits or a foundation failure under the loads imposed by construction plant. 1, record 1, English, - granular%20drainage%20blanket

Drainage sous dalle de béton [...] : matelas drainant servant à collecter et à évacuer l'eau qui pourrait s'accumuler sous une dalle de béton de sous-sol. Fonction du géotextile [...] Drain : le géotextile collecte et évacue l'eau qui s'accumule sous la dalle de sous-sol, évitant ainsi des remontées d'humidité. Filtre : le géotextile doit assurer sa propre protection contre le colmatage ou empêcher le colmatage du matelas drainant granulaire. Séparation : le géotextile évite l'interpénétration du gravier drainant, ou du béton, et du sol support; il contribue ainsi au maintien de l'intégrité de ce gravier ou du béton. 2, record 1, French, - matelas%20drainant%20granulaire
