Abstract
Abstract ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention provides a wall drainage system for foundation walls which has particular though not exclusive application to the provision of drainage between shoring walls and concrete walls placed against such shoring walls. The drainage system comprises a cover of water-pervious filter material placed over the shoring wall to prevent passage of soil particles and a water-impervious cladding located over the cover. The cladding is formed of generally rectangular panels of water-impervious material arranged in edge-to-edge abutted relationship. One face of each panel is located against the cover, and has a plurality of vertical drainage grooves which are in fluid commun-ication with those of any subjacent or suprojacent abutting panel. Each panel of a lowermost row of panels has a plurality of horizontal drainage grooves formed in the other of its faces, which are in fluid communication with the vertical drainage grooves of the panel and which are also in fluid communication with the horizontal. drainage grooves of any abutting panel in the lowermost row so that these lowermost panels define a horizontal drainage conduit. A water-pervious filter material pre-vents entry of soil particles into the horizontal drainage conduit. A telescoping sleeve is placed in communication with the horizontal grooves of one or more of the panels of the lowermost row to drain the collected water into the drainage system of the building being constructed.
