Perforated Pipes for Public Spaces This article discusses the basic features and applications of perforated pipes used in construction. Features of Perforated Pipes Used in Construction There are a number of uses for perforated pipes and we have listed some of the most common below so that you can get an idea of what these systems can do.

Delivery to non-Industrial Scotland, Northern Ireland, and CH, LL, and CA postcodes can sometimes take slightly longer, although this is dependent upon the exact location. The main difference between Flexible Coiled Land Drainand Rigid Twin Wall Land Drainis strength. The outer ribs on the twin wall rigid pipe add significant mechanical strength to the structure, so rigid land drain is generally used in areas where additional strength is required, such as under a driveway or other areas where traffic may pass over it. The pipe should be surrounded by gravel in a trench where water moves through the ground, passes through the gaps in the gravel, and starts to fill the trench surrounding the pipe. As this happens the water will percolate into the pipe through the holes and flow out of the pipe when its installed with a fall.The main characteristic of a perforated pipe is to take in water from the wet ground through the perforations and allow the ground to stay dry. Hence, the two functions of a perforated pipe are the collection and conveyance of water. A perforated drain pipe is designed in such a way that it allows water to enter or exit through a number or small holes along the pipe. This allows excess groundwater to be drained from your property and released elsewhere. Below are some of the most common uses of perforated drain pipes. Common Uses for Perforated Drain Pipes Land drain pipes are used in commercial, industrial and agricultural applications, usually creating French drains or soakaway systems to manage surface water in flood plains or flat land. Perforated drainage pipe options can be used for soakaways and French drains as they allow collected surface water to flow steadily out into the surrounding land at a more acceptable rate so the ground doesn’t become sodden. Pipes are available in 25m and 50m coils both perforated pipe drainage and unperforated. Perforated Land Drainage Pipe Perforated pipes can be PVC, cement, clay, and iron. The most popular ones are PVC pipes, which are lightweight and flexible.

The number and size of holes in a perforated pipe vary for different designs. The perforation in the pipes can be designed facing down or up, which is dependent on the desired function of the drainage pipe. Although coiled land drain pipes are by their very nature flexible so bends are not required, we do sell joiners for connecting two lengths of pipe together. These are loose-fit push fit joints – no seals are required as unlike foul or surface water drainage there is no requirement for joints to be watertight in land drainage installations. If you're installing a half-perforated pipe, such as half perforated twinwall, this is where the problem comes into question; whether the perforations are best facing upwards or downwards? Certain direct suppliers are able to ship outside of these areas depending on product quantity and availability. Please get in touch with us regarding any such queries. Perforated Pipes and Landscapes: A well designed garden landscape can transform your outdoor space, but it is important to protect your garden from changing weather conditions. Using perforated pipes discreetly in your garden landscape can help to absorb excessive rainwater, draining it away from your garden and property. By installing perforated pipes under the ground, excess water can be drained away so that your garden landscape is not at risk of damage.Filling the trench with gravel will prevent the soil from sinking and clogging up the pipe when it rains. Gravel helps to keep everything in place, ensuring your perforated pipe lasts and lasts. It is important that the trench is filled with gravel up to 2 inches so that the pipe can fit comfortably on top. Step Five: Laying the Perforated Pipe Perforated pipes are installed around residential buildings to prevent yards from flooding during heavy rains. The perforated pipes used for this purpose have a smaller diameter of 5 inches. When a perforated drain pipe is installed by our professional team, it provides an effective solution to any problems you are experiencing with excessive groundwater near your property. Installing a perforated drain pipe can be done in six easy steps. Step One: Digging the Trench Although you would think that having the holes at the top would mean the water could fall into the perforations, as it flows through the ground, this doesn't offer the best performance. Perforated pipes comply with the Department of Transport Specification for Highway Works, which states the total area of drainage holes should not be less than 1000mm2 per metre length of pipe.

Mostly, upward-facing perforation helps keep silt and debris from accumulating in the pipe during water collection. At the same time, pipes with perforations facing down help faster collection and distribution. The type of perforation is selected based on the application.As experts in drainage and water management, JDP has one of the largest ranges of twinwall fittings in the UK.

Before our team install your perforated drain pipe, we start by choosing the best location for it.

So, once we have located the best place, we commence the installation.

Perforated pipes are no longer a British Standard product. The pipes are drilled whilst wet and the semi-dry nature of the concrete used in the manufacturing process leads to spalling on the inner and outer surfaces around the holes. This is cosmetic only and does not affect the integrity of the pipes for land drainage use.

Why choose Coastal Drains?Twinwall pipes are used in surface water drainage systems to drain excess water in a range of applications such as agricultural, highways, railways and airports. These pipes can also be used to drain excess surface or stormwater in domestic settings such as garden drainage. Unperforated land drain pipes are corrugated on the outside and benefit from high strength thanks to their high-density polyethene manufacture. These pipes have no holes in them so they’re great for use in attenuation features where water may want to be drained to another collection point. These unperforated drainage pipes are also suitable for soakaway systems where the soakaway needs to be directed to a natural water course or the ground that can receive some of the surface water is further away from the soakaway system.
