Operational Gains
Sprint capacity is increased, requiring less land and infrastructure for product processing. This system is highly resistant to cold weather and allows for extended production throughout winter seasons.
Unparalleled Dewatering System Access
Serviceability is crucial in drainage technologies. Our design features hatch access for cleaning and inspection, and the vaulted design allows for both flushing and vacuuming, making it unparalleled in this application.
Durability
Our system features a proprietary structural geocellular vault that provides engineered crush resistance to both product and vehicle loading. It is the only system to guarantee live load, dead load, and system creep. Product testing ranges between -85° F and 140° F (-65°C and 60°C).
Fuel cost intensive drying is replaced with gravity siphon tech powered by gravity

Deliverables
The full scope of work will be delivered and presented as processes and procedures with a construction schedule. All required product submittals and material certifications are delivered/accepted in advance of construction. All materials are delivered and verified on-site prior to construction commencement. As-built CAD Drawings and geosynthetic field quality control testing documentation. Operation & Maintenance plan with site specific SOPs. Training onsite of equipment and full system; includes field training with operators and office management. Night shift and day shift monitoring with staff geologist and technical team as O&M implementation advances. System installation warranty.
Turnkey installation services
On-site project management. Brownfield Projects: Installation of systems will work within the daily production activities. Greenfield Projects: Daily/weekly involvement with project managers, client engineers, submittals, CAD as-built design adjustments as necessary for design-build. Installation is performed by MSHA and OSHA Certified geomembrane/geosynthetic installers.
On-Going Support
Option to purchase scheduled inspections and cleaning of the system by MEGA-Drain .
MEGA-Drain is the only drain system with an engineered process and procedure for repairs and has the manufacturer inspect the repair to ensure warrantability.
MEGA-Drain has replacement materials in stock and can dispatch repair technicians both domestically and internationally.

MEGA-Drain Cost
®
We provide four dewatering system type options to fit most budgets. With an executed NDA in place, we will calculate: 1.Client’s site-specific installed cost Per square foot/meter, return on investment (ROI), calculated decant volumes, and sprint capacity forecast. 2.Client's percent (%) thru-put increase in production and possible existing deficiency from nameplate, as relates to rotary drier usage. 3.Calculate Natural Gas savings applicable to tonnage via rotary driers. The ongoing MEGA-Drain™ savings can act as a long-haul hedge against the ever-increasing plant operation expenses.
