A plurality of modular units are connected together on a slightly sloped drainage field with a perforated header pipe at the lower side conveying water away from the drainage system. An impermeable flexible liner cushioned on both sides is located below the modular units. The modular units are each made up of rigid boxes that have connecting cross slots at the bottom thereof and vertical perforations there through. The rigid boxes are lined with a drainage fabric that is site specific and have an expanded geosynthetic material therein, which is held in place when filled with porous granular material. High flexural strength mats are connected together over the tops of the modular units. An air inlet pipe connects air to the cross slots, down the sloped drainage field, to the header pipe to drain water from the bulk granular material resting on the high flexural strength mats. Some of the modular units have a pneumatic vibrator connected to a source of pressurized air. The entire system may be quickly disassembled, moved to a different location, and reassembled with the number of modular units being changed according to the circumstances.
A vibrating portable drainage system for draining water from bulk granular material to be located on a flat surface sloped at approximately 2 to 3 degrees, said portable drainage system being strong enough to support the bulk granular material and loading equipment, said portable drainage system comprising:
A method of draining fluids from bulk granular materials comprising the following steps:
