Pipes for drainage system
The main functional element of drainage systems are pipes. It is through these materials that the process of collecting and transporting excess moisture from the soil is carried out. For the installation of a drainage system, pipe fittings made of plastic are best suited. It can not be corroded and it is easy to work with. After all, for the normal functioning of the drainage system, it is necessary to make a large number of holes in the pipe products. In the case of plastic pipes, this process is greatly facilitated. There are several types of pipes for the organization of drainage of soil:
- Pipe fittings made of polyvinylchloride.
- Made of polypropylene.
- Made of polyethylene.
The difference is in the temperature mode with which this or that kind of pipe communication can work.
Inspection wells
This type of material for installing drainage systems in various areas around the house is important. With the help of these devices it is possible to perform equipment revision and line repair. Inspection wells are mounted on such sections of the drainage pipeline:
- Water drainage turns.
- In the case where the drainage system is long.
- Where the slope of the drainage pipe changes.
Currently, materials for the drainage of this type of site are available on the market in abundance. The design of manholes makes it possible to mount a drainage system of varying complexity. These plastic products consist of such components:
- The bottom is made of polypropylene with holes for connecting pipes.
- Vertical sight pipe.
- Cover made of polymer or cast iron.
For the installation of this type of communication, it is best to use Vavin inspection wells. This device is well suited to ensure the high quality execution of all functions of the manhole. The main advantage is the assembly system of this device, which can be adjusted to different conditions.
Drainage for mounting the drainage system
When laying a draining drainage system, bulk materials are required that are capable of absorbing moisture. A layer of such a composite serves to envelop the drainage pipe. For these purposes, the following types of bulk materials are used:
- Gravel.
- Crushed stone.
- Sand.
- Also mixtures of these materials depending on the needs of the drainage system.
Using Geotextiles
In the process of drainage, small stones can get into the drainage pipes together with moisture. They can clog the holes in the pipes, thereby worsening the efficiency of the drainage process. To prevent clogging of the drainage nozzles, such material is used to drain the site as geotextile. This building element is used in a variety of types of construction work.
Technology of combining installation materials in the creation of the drainage system
All of the above materials are combined together during the construction of the drainage system. This process looks like this:
- Excavates a trench below the lower threshold of the basement.
- The bottom of the trench is covered with sand and tamped.
- Then, over the layer of sand, the geotextile layer is laid.
- Covering of geotextile is stacked.
- A trumpet is placed on top of the sprinkler.
- A dusting layer is poured over the pipe.
- All this is overlapped with geotextile material.
Alternative materials for the organization of drainage
In addition to the above materials, alternate raw materials can be used in the organization of drainage. Different types of concrete can be used for draining. From this element, special drainage gutters can be created, along which water flows by gravity in a given direction. Of course, this type of drainage system, it is possible to use only when it is necessary to remove sedimentary water.
Thus, the article described and characterized materials that are used in the installation of various drainage systems.
