In the context of infrastructure, such as roads and tunnels, the threat of damage from earthquakes is a significant concern, particularly the risk of soil liquefaction which can hinder emergency response and reconstruction efforts. To address this, seismic drainage systems equipped with vertical pipes are installed to channel underground water to the surface, thereby preventing the soil from liquefying during seismic events. However, these systems face challenges when soil particles begin to infiltrate the pipes, causing sedimentation and potential blockages. Recognizing this issue, Carriff has developed specialized filter fabrics for earthquake drain systems. These filters act as a protective barrier around the pipes, effectively blocking external particles and ensuring the drainage system’s functionality, especially during critical times. By incorporating these filters, infrastructure projects can enhance their resilience against earthquakes. The filters play a pivotal role in maintaining the structural integrity of roads and tunnels, ensuring that they remain passable and quickly recoverable in the aftermath of seismic events.
