Wooden Bulkheads

The JET Filter is a flush mount geocomposite wick drainage system which can be permanently installed on the front side of bridge abutments. It prevents the loss of soil and backfill material through weep holes, is easily unclogged as needed, and relieves panel stress. The purpose of installing weep holes in the wooden bulkheads is to relieve the hydrostatic water pressure that may settle or rest behind the wall. The JET Filter is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance. It has a long lifespan which makes it an ideal solution for drainage and erosion control. 

Therefore, proper venting helps to maintain the structural integrity of the wall and prevents damage caused by water buildup and erosion. This reduces the risk of weakening the wall over time. Installing weep holes with a proper drainage system is essential for long-term performance and longevity of wooden bulkheads.
