Understanding Drain Tile in Modular Retaining Walls

so here's kind of a fun fact you'll see that we're installing drain tile into the retaining wall but if you ever drive by a retaining wall and you see the drain tile actually operating it means that that wall is in a state of failure they see on modular retaining walls like this they are a mortar-less system intentionally and we use a lot of drainage aggregate and you're going to see that in just a moment but the entire retaining wall is designed to allow water to flow freely right through the face of it so if you ever actually see the water being funneled or jetted out through the drain tile at the bottom it means whatever company installed that retaining wall didn't put enough drainage aggregate in or that drainage aggregate that may be in place is boogered up and not operating so either way if you've seen drayton operating in a modular retaining wall something is wrong that's a big red flag
