Methods for designing drainage systems
If you plan on making your drainage system yourself with hand made materials, you must at least carefully follow the technology of designing such systems. In particular, pay attention to such moments of drainage construction:
- The trench should be dug by a width of 0.5 meters throughout the size of your building. Also, it should have a span of 2-5 meters from the base to the depth, which is equal to the level of the base of the sole.
- You need to calculate the lowest and highest point on your object.
- The slope of the drain must be calculated, which should be 2-3 centimeters.
- Find a separate place for self-extracting moisture from your yard.
Regardless of the design method, the installation of the drainage system, in addition to improvised tools, it is necessary to use classical building materials. In particular, you will need to prepare:
- Sand
- Fine gravel
- Large gravel, which is more than 0.5 centimeters
- Primer
The most common types of construction:
- The construction, which is arranged in a triangular form, in another way is reinforced concrete plates.
It must be remembered that the drainage system may become denser during operation. To avoid such deformation, it is necessary to lay reinforced concrete pipes on top. Then you will not have unnecessary problems in the further operation and design of the drain.
- The structure can be laid out with perforated, as well as pre-treated with ashidol boards. If you have problems, you can use large stones.
- The design can be made of boards, and its channel will be covered with large gravel.
- You can also use a fascine - it's a bunch of sprouts. Sprouts can be used from any type of tree, the main thing is that there would be both large and thin branches.
It is desirable to lay more thin branches in the side, where the drainage of water will be directed. It is better to construct such a structure on the soil near a moat. It is not necessary to remove the fact that the width of the ligament from the shoots should be at least 25 centimeters.
- To ensure that the bottom of the drainage passed a free current, which removes all moisture, it builds goats from the bars.
- A good aspiration can create an asbestos-cement perforated pipe.
- Ceramic pipes are very often used, they also manage their task perfectly.
Methods for designing drainage systems
In order for the drainage system to last longer, the recommended drainage pipes should be used. To establish such a drainage system, it is necessary to perform such processes:
- The first thing to do is dig a trench 20 centimeters deep. If your soil from clay is 60 centimeters, and if the sandy bottom is 110 centimeters.
- Whatever the water after the precipitation quickly drained off and did not flood, there must be a definite grid on the trench.
- It is necessary to correctly calculate the slope, it is necessary that it would descend to the lowest side of the site.
- Choose the location of the drainage.
- Trench bottom is covered with crushed stone about 25 centimeters.
- The most important process is turning of geotextile materials of drainage pipes.
- As a backfill material, sand or rubble is most often used.
Technological characteristics of installation of drainage systems
Description of installation on site is:
- Preparatory processes of the drainage system to a depth of 1 meter, width - 0.5 meters.
- A slope must be observed.
- Proper filling of the trench.
At that moment, if you do not have a drainage reserve, a drainage well comes to the rescue. For the design and installation of a self-contained drainage system, a lot of effort and financial costs will not be. This is only if you do not have a large plot. But if the object requires the installation of pumping stations and the drainage system must be more complex, then you can not do without the help of a specialist and designing a site plan.
