LIAN SOON CONSTRUCTION PTE LTD
USE OF iDRAIN in SAS PROJECT – 07 Nov 2017 iDrain (The Durable Reusable ECM Drain)

Background of the Project

ECM Drainage system is a legal requirement by PUB before any earthworks can commence.
Is a fixed-temporary structure.
To be demolished at certain stage or at the tail-end of the project.
Is normally constructed using C7 concrete channel.

Background of the Project

C7 Concrete Channel ECM Drain is prone to damage.

Pure Expense/High recurring cost (install/demolish at certain stage)
Post hazards to workers – install/maintain/demolish)
Environmental issues due to poor maintenance.

600mm Length 1220 mm (100% increase)
810mm Section (top opening) 580mm
495mm Depth 470mm

Notes:
iDrain is 2x length of the C7 Drain.
iDrain is easier to maintain & clean.
Manning’s coefficient of roughness:
C7 Drain = 0.025 iDRAIN = 0.012

Notable Comparisons (C7 Drains vs iDrain)

C7 Drain Process Comparison iDrain
Yes Excavate Trench using Excavator Yes
Required Hoisting of the drain using Machinery Not Required
Using Machinery + Manpower Installation of the drain Manual
Required using cement Sealing of the joint Not required
Yes Backfilling works Yes
Using Machinery Removal of the drain Manual
Required Disposal of debris Not Required

Process Change: From 7 Steps to 4 Steps (No Hoisting/ No Sealing of Joints/ No Disposal)
Notes:
100m = C7 Drain = 3 days to complete = 2 Workers + 1 Rigger/Signalman + 1 Excavator Operator
100m = iDrain = 1 day to complete = 2 Workers

Notable Comparisons (C7 Drains vs iDrain)

C7 Drain Health iDrain
Moderate Exposure to Noise (Removal) None
Long Exposure to hot weather Reduced
(during Installation)
High Exposure to Dust (Removal) Low
Moderate Productivity* Very High
Notes*:
C7 installation rate at 100m = 2-3 days.
iDrain installation rate at 100m = 1 day (Reduction of 67%)
Resulting to shorter exposure to hot weather = faster to complete.
No need to seal the connection joints. Overlapping method.

Notable Comparisons (C7 Drains vs iDrain)

C7 Drain Environmental iDrain
Minimum recovery Sustainability Reusable
Mixed Waste Disposal Recyclable

Notes:
iDrain is made of superior material (mild steel) – equating to longer life cycle to reuse.
Use of iDrain will result in the reduction of the amount of waste to be dispose.
Environmental friendly – recycle after the reusable life of 5 years.
Disposed as scrap metal – cost recovery.
