Fluid Collection, Venting and Subsurface Drainage

Varicore Technologies manufactures Multi-Flow Drainage Systems and LDVS Drain/Vent Systems (Leak Detection Venting System). With over 20 years of project experience and with tens of millions of feet produced, Varicore maintains an excellent record in the drainage and venting mitigation industry. Multi-Flow’s proprietary shape and design has been the go-to solution for applications that require superior quality, modularity, and scalability in their systems—which maximizes cost-effectiveness.

Plastic Processing and QC Equipment

Varicore has manufactured Lo-Tes brand of pipe crush-testing equipment for nearly 30 years. When it comes to quality control (QC) and compliance testing, our machines are durable, practical, precise, and cost-effective…offering the best of all worlds. Varicore has the in-house ability to design, manufacture, and fabricate, which enables us to adapt to changing markets and best-practice engineering standards in our equipment and resulting products.

Design Assistance for Engineering Solutions

Varicore’s DrainSite Design & Consulting Service helps industry professionals plan their projects by specifically focusing on the design/planning aspect of drainage, stormwater, and venting in a wide array of project types and applications. Our company has maintained a high level of direct contact with engineers, contractors, and customers. We give their projects the level of attention required to ensure satisfaction, from planning through install phases. Service is a high priority and the planning stages are critical for a successful project. That’s where we excel.

DRAINAGE & VENTING GEOSYNTHETICS

The Multi-Flow Drainage System is a fast-acting, durable drain intended for the efficient removal of excess soil water. Multi-Flow’s rugged design allows for shallow installation resulting in faster water entrance and reduced installation costs. Its extensive surface area collects water quickly and its unobstructed flow channels carry that water away at an astonishing rate. Multi-Flow’s core is wrapped in a thick geotextile fabric that prevents sand and soil from entering the flow channels, dramatically extending the life of the system. Multi-Flow drain is manufactured in three sizes: 6-inch, 12-inch, and 18-inch. A full compliment of “push-on” fittings and connectors is available in all three sizes, which make it fast and easy to create comprehensive and professional drainage installations. DOWNLOAD THE BROCHURE (PDF)

Applications for the Multi-Flow System include athletic fields, civil engineering, commercial and residential construction, golf courses, horticulture, recreational fields, and paved surfaces.

The Multi-Flow Leak Detection Vent System (LDVS) from Varicore is a high-performance draining/venting for use under synthetic liners. Its geotextile-wrapped polymeric core geocomposite construction utilizes a time-tested product design and adds to it modularity and scalability to adapt to different project sizes and installation shapes. The product profile has rounded edges. This minimizes friction and stress points on a liner. It also helps the system recess into the base. Read about its beneficial impact on lining system quality and long-term performance.

TESTING & QUALITY CONTROL

The Lo-Tes parallel plate test machine has earned a rugged reputation through 20 years of service to many dozens of labs, DOTs, and manufacturers. The Lo-Tes accurately performs all common industry-standard force and/or deflection test procedures. Features include:

• Software running on the Microsoft Windows platform
• Sampling rates >3/millisecond at 16 bit resolution
• Simplified file handling including copy, delete, and archiving functions
• Military spec cable and connectors for improved noise immunity
• The ability to simultaneously graph multiple tests
• Support for most Windows compatible printers
• Large LCD display
• Increased storage capacity
• Networking capability
