Introduction of Perforated Pipe
A perforated pipe is a pipe with a series of small holes or slits that facilitate the entry and exit of water. They are primarily installed as part of underground drainage systems and installed in outdoor applications to facilitate drainage and thereby prevent flooding of the site.
Perforated drain pipes are designed to allow water to enter and exit through a series of holes or small holes along the length of the pipe. This allows excess groundwater to be drained off-site and discharged elsewhere.
Properties of Perforated Pipes Used in Construction
- The main property of perforated pipes is to absorb water from moist soil through the holes and keep the soil dry. The two important functions of the perforated pipes are to collect and carry water.
- Perforated Pipes are an efficient solution for draining flooded yards, fields and damp basements. They are always buried underground for longer periods of time and therefore are more flexible in design and manufacturing.
- Perforated pipes are available in PVC, cement, clay and steel. The most popular is lightweight and flexible PVC pipe.
- Number and size of holes in perforated tubes vary by design. The pipe perforations can be downward or upward depending on the intended function of the drainage pipe.
- In most cases, upward perforations prevent silt and debris from accumulating inside the tube during water collection. At the same time, tubes with downward perforations contribute to faster collection and distribution. Select the perforation type according to the application.
Key Function of Perforated Pipe
Perforated pipes are an efficient solution for draining flooded yards, fields and damp basements. They are always buried underground for a longer period of time and therefore are more flexible in design and manufacturing.
Uses of Perforated Pipe
- Installation in the courtyard to prevent flooding during heavy rain.
- Installed in combination with a waterproof basement to filter excess water.
- They are installed in public spaces to drain water and prevent flooding.
- Install perforated pipes to collect excess water from the ground and keep the irrigated land healthy and free from flooding.
