I have always followed delta ms website recommendations ..which is relief to wall.
Never seen any with geotextile bonded to it , what's the idea with that ?

Honestly for old buildings in this scenario I would be just as inclined to put drain in bottom and washed gravel.... but customers generally Google and expect delta ms.

R u sure that's right way round? :)

Would of thought bubbles allow humidity coming out of wall to drain down to bottom ...but maybe it's different if you have geotextile on it 🤷‍♂️

The bobbles create a void behind the permeable membrane. So water run down really quickly. There is clean shingle up against the membrane then a perforated pipe at the base to remove any hydraulic pressure. The internal one has a channel around the bottom that leads to a pump chamber.

I have seen a really heavy duty version of it laid horizontally underneath football pitches instead of herringbone land drains.

Creates a vertical drain for the water to go down to the perforated pipe, basically void former with permeable geotextile then fill against it with clean stone

Interesting...delta ms website says I have this ordinary stuff right way round and never seen it put the other way.

Maybe @DaveDCB the stuff with geotextile goes other way round to non geotextile - I get how it might work with a drainage void between bumps and geo though.

I have just checked the delta website and they don't seem to offer the product your using for us. They do an internal one as @DaveDCB said and can be seen in the photo I posted but all external ones have a geo membrane stuck to them.
It's funny how products vary geographically.

Cheeky little Jetting job locally today. Dmax and smaller trailers busy or in wrong place. Extending forks for the win.. again! Didn't get a photo of jetting, but for a cheap and cheerful Chinese add on to a cheap and cheerful washer... it gets the job done. The concept of the washer+ IBC Bowser works, so at some point will make it together properly, then maybe see if I can sell it for enough to go toward a nice Honda engine / Italian pump set up. I need to create a portable reel option for the jetting hose as I am going to fall out with it being loose coiled and tangling. The reel on the washer isn't all that, doesn't auto retract OR have feed rollers, so whilst better than nothing, I wouldn't want to have use it every day.

Thought today was going to be a short one, no idea why 😆
First up, collect trailer, drive to Colchester, fit the door furniture, few other bits and bag up all the fixings ready for an enclosure to be shipped. Impressive tent!
Then off to the other side of Cambridge to buy this little Cormidi tracked dumper. Stopped off at my mates to drop off some doors and used the forklift to have a look at a couple of bits and scrape the sign writing off the skip without crawling about on the floor👍
Seems a nice little dumper, honda engine, lots of grease nipples, rated for 500kg but I don't think the skips big enough for that 😆
I've double booked my slanetrac tthis week and next, not for the first time, and this seems a handy little 2nd tracked dumper for a reasonable price. Quite a bit smaller and a different shape skip to the slanetrac so gives different options for different jobs.
Back to the yard, give digger, dumperand trailer a good wash ready for the morning and suddenly it's been another 12 hour day 😆

Had the dropped kerb widened at home this week by a friend. A load of hoops to jump through and nearly £300 spent on paperwork and box ticking before any work was done 🤬 Was very tempted to JFDI but have a councillor across the road that apparently likes to stick his nose in so all done by the book. The whole drive will be redone at some point once we’ve finished with building work so just made it look presentable until then. No visits from the highways inspector as yet….like they’re going to bother 🙄

Keep trying to buy coil washer hoses they make silly money at auctions, nice little skid mounted better would be ideal for me or bowser mounted.

Those little bowser trailers are spiteful things to tow about . Skid ideal for us as plenty of options to put it in and nice to be able to take washer out on same job as excavator .
I’d like a portable jetting reel as mine goes onto lance.

I ve just a bowser one we use when mixing in remote areas tend to tow it with just few hundred litres in then fill at location either with pump or hydrant or take it on bigger trailer as they’re a pig to manoeuvre on anything but a dumper etc

The lance ones just don’t tend to have the throughput my washer is a 13hp 12l/min where as small jetters are more like 3000 psi 12 gallons a minute (45 litres) on 1/2 hose not 1/4 etc

Do you find it clears ok? Do you clamp lance on?

My washer is allegedly 25lpm but if you actually measure it it’s about half that by time you have lance and hose attached . Cleans off tracks and undercarriage on machine well enough though. I appreciate my jetter hose is about as small as you can get , worked for me so far. It’s nice having the washer option as well for cleaning up before/during/after rodding as well.
