Wavin Drainage Pipe with Geotextile Filter, Ø 113/126 mm

The Wavin drainage pipe with a pre-installed geotextile filter is a high-quality solution for effective groundwater management and soil drainage. Designed with an inner diameter of 113 mm and an outer diameter of 126 mm, this pipe is engineered to prevent siltation and clogging, ensuring reliable performance in diverse landscaping and construction environments. The combination of durable PVC material and a protective geotextile layer makes it an essential component for maintaining dry soil conditions and protecting building foundations from water damage.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this drainage system is its integrated geotextile filter, which effectively blocks fine soil particles from entering the pipe while allowing water to pass through freely. This feature significantly extends the lifespan of the drainage system by preventing internal blockages and reducing the need for maintenance. The robust PVC construction offers excellent resistance to ground pressure and environmental factors, ensuring long-term structural integrity. Furthermore, the flexible design allows for easier installation in various terrains, providing a versatile solution for both residential and commercial drainage projects.

Suitable for

• Sandy soil drainage systems
• Protection of building foundations
• Landscaping and garden water management
• Agricultural land drainage
• Construction site moisture control

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 pipe specifications might be required to ensure optimal flow.

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 113 mm
• Outer diameter: 126 mm
• Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and geotextile
• Roll length: 50 m
• Filter included: Yes
• Color: Yellow and grey

How to use

To install the Wavin drainage pipe, first excavate a trench at the required depth and slope to ensure proper water flow. Lay a bed of gravel at the bottom of the trench to provide a stable base. Unroll the drainage pipe along the trench, ensuring that the geotextile filter remains intact and undamaged during the process. Connect the pipe sections using appropriate fittings and backfill the trench with a layer of permeable material, such as clean gravel, to facilitate water infiltration into the pipe. Ensure the system is connected to a suitable discharge point or collection pit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the soil type to ensure the geotextile filter is appropriate for your project
• Calculate the total length required, noting the 50-meter roll size
• Ensure compatibility with existing drainage fittings and connectors
• Check local building regulations regarding drainage depth and slope requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always ensure the pipe is laid with a consistent downward slope to prevent standing water. Avoid using heavy machinery directly over the pipe during the backfilling process to prevent crushing or deformation.
