Advantages of plastic drainage pits
Earlier, for this purpose, structures were used from cast concrete rings, or concrete installations were specially erected. Such work required a lot of labor, fuel and electricity. Plastic sewerage wells, by their appearance on the building materials market, have made a small revolution among the drainage installation systems. The use of these devices greatly facilitated and accelerated the process of installing cleaning communications.
This kind of sewage wells has a number of advantages over other types of the same products:
- Very low specific gravity. This indicator greatly facilitates the process of transportation and installation of the described products.
- Sheath tightness. The structure of the plastic case( and this can be polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, etc.) without damaged parts has absolute tightness.
- Low coefficient of thermal conductivity.
- This type of products is practically not susceptible to various types of corrosion, therefore, it has a very long service life.
- High resistance to mechanical influences and impact resistance.
- Resistance to elements such as temperatures( high and low), ultraviolet.
- A very wide range of possible variants of uniform execution.
- Ultimate ease of use.
All of the above factors fundamentally show that plastic sewage wells have undoubted advantages over their concrete and other analogues.
Typology of drainage wells from plastic
This type of product has its own typological variety:
- Inspection.
- Absorptive.
- Waterproof.
Each type is characterized by certain specific features.
Inspection wells are required in each drainage system, as they allow for continuous monitoring of the condition of pipe communications and for the on-line repair of the system. This type of sewage system consists of the following components:
- The bottom, which is the main functional element. To this part, the joining of the tubular elements takes place, and also the whole flow of water passes through it.
- Vertical corrugated pipe. This element is the connecting link between the bottom of the device and the inspection hole.
- Plastic or cast-iron hatch. Creates tightness of the device and protection from external influences.
Absorption wells are analogues of drainage pits. They are collector systems made of plastic. These devices are large. They do not have a bottom for proper drainage. This place is filled with sand or gravel to ensure unimpeded absorption of sewage into the soil.
Water intake drainage tanks
Water receiving plastic sewage wells are widely distributed in private houses, cottages, and private plots. This type of sewer is used to collect liquids and further redirect it. Places of output of waste water can be:
- Sewage system.
- Natural natural grooves, such as a ditch or ravine.
- Various reservoirs.
Special features of mounting
This type of drainage device is one of the most important of its advantages, it is easy to install. To work with wells for sewage, it is only necessary to excavate a system of trenches into the ground, into which communications will be placed. For the product, which is described in the article, it is sufficient to make appropriate depressions in the ground, in the places provided for by the purposes of the drainage system. Then the tanks are filled with earth, and a hatch is installed on top.
There are practically no such products of this type. But there are wells with mechanical damages or remains( for example, when forming a well height).Plastic waste can be successfully used in the household on personal plots in the form of any auxiliary elements.
Thus, plastic sewage wells have undeniable advantages over other devices of this type due to a number of technical features that were described above in the article.
