Inside Turkey’s High-Tech Factories: Exclusive Photos Reveal Drainage Board Production Boom
Dateline:
ISTANBUL, TURKEY – July 9, 2025
Body Text:
Newly released photos from Turkish industrial zones showcase advanced drainage board manufacturing lines, highlighting the country’s dominance in geosynthetics exports. In facilities across Istanbul, Bursa, and Izmir, automated systems transform raw polymer resins into dimpled drainage panels vital for global construction projects.
Key Visuals & Processes Captured:
Polymer Extrusion: Molten HDPE/PP fed into calendering rollers, forming continuous sheets.
Embossing Stations: Steel rollers imprinting uniform dimple patterns (8–20mm height) for optimal water flow.
Lamination Lines: Fusing geotextile fabrics to sheets using heat-activated adhesives.
Precision Cutting: Laser-guided CNC machines slicing panels to project specifications.
Quality Control Labs: Technicians testing puncture resistance (ASTM D4833) and compressive strength.
