Wavin Drainage Pipe with Geotextile Filter, Ø 50/60 mm

The Wavin drainage pipe with a built-in geotextile filter is a professional-grade solution designed for effective groundwater management and soil drainage. Featuring an inner diameter of 50 mm and an outer diameter of 60 mm, this pipe is engineered to provide reliable water collection and transport in various landscaping and civil engineering projects. The integrated geotextile layer acts as a protective barrier, preventing fine soil particles from entering the system and causing blockages, thereby ensuring consistent flow and long-term durability.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this drainage pipe is its high-quality construction using durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) combined with a specialized geotextile filter. This combination significantly reduces the risk of siltation, which is a common cause of drainage system failure. By maintaining a clear path for water, the system remains efficient over many years, even in challenging soil conditions. The flexible design allows for easy installation in trenches, while the lightweight nature of the materials simplifies handling and transport on the construction site.

Suitable for

• Drainage in sandy soil environments
• Landscaping and garden water management
• Foundation drainage for residential buildings
• Agricultural land improvement
• Managing excess groundwater in construction areas

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is specifically optimized for sandy soil conditions where fine particles pose a risk of clogging. It may not be the most efficient choice for heavy clay soils or areas with high concentrations of large debris, where different filtration or drainage specifications might be required to prevent structural damage or flow restriction.

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 50 mm
• Outer diameter: 60 mm
• Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and geotextile
• Roll length: 50 m
• Filter included: Yes
• Color: White and yellow

How to use

To install the drainage pipe, first excavate a trench of the required depth and width according to your project design. Ensure the bottom of the trench is leveled to allow for proper water flow. Unroll the pipe carefully along the trench, ensuring it is positioned correctly to capture the intended water runoff. Backfill the trench with appropriate drainage material, such as clean gravel or crushed stone, to surround the pipe and enhance its filtration capabilities. Ensure that the ends of the pipe are connected to a suitable outlet or collection point to prevent water accumulation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the soil type at your site to ensure compatibility with the geotextile filter.
• Calculate the total length required for your project, keeping in mind the 50-meter roll size.
• Ensure you have the necessary fittings and connectors for your specific drainage layout.
• Check local building regulations regarding drainage system installation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the pipe is laid with a consistent slope to facilitate gravity-fed water movement. Avoid sharp bends that could kink the pipe and restrict flow. Regularly inspect the drainage outlet to ensure it remains clear of debris.
