Bad Drainage seriously reduces the life of tarmac and other surfaces
Surface water should always be considered when creating surface areas to avoid flooding and puddles. Kerb lines or edgings provide lines for correct falls, ensuring all surface water runs into the installed gullies and drains. Our site surveyors can listen to your thoughts or provide industry advise, to prevent or remove holding water.
Gullies, Channels, Pipes & Aco-drains are just a few of the drainage we install. Having a combination of these products installed correctly with maximise the life span of any tarmac road or asphalt car park.
Another problem is surface water which usually occurs due to weather. It should always be thought about when creating surface areas to avoid flooding and puddles.
Kerb lines or edging should be set up to incorporate correct falls, ensuring all surface water runs to appropriate gullies and drains.
The most popular method used is gravity drainage and sewer system. Firstly, you should identify your nearest point of drainage services which can be tapped into and used for new drainage.
Installation Process
If no surface water systems are in place, which is often the case in grassed areas then systems need to be installed to cope with any potential water.
The most popular method used is gravity drainage and sewer system.
Firstly, you should identify your nearest point of drainage services which can be tapped into and used for new drainage.
Once identified, trenches can be excavated to correct depths to allow new pipes to be laid with falls taking the water back into the existing services.
Pipes are installed with gravel bedding surrounding for protection and checked for levels.
Gullies are then set up and installed at ground level for your storm water or waste discharge. Gullies come in numerous shapes and size and come in various types of material.
The basic function of a gully is that there is a trapped receptacle at surface level that waste or storm water can pass through easily but gases, odours and rodents from the drainage and sewer system cannot pass back the other way.
