Drainage is the natural or
artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from an area
There are different types of drainage systems like, the
French drains, Trench drains, ground drainage system, permanent way drainage,
and Lineside drainage systems.
The French drain technique may be
used to distribute water, such as a septic drain field at the outlet of a
typical septic tank sewage treatment system and are also used behind retaining
walls to relieve ground water pressure. While permanent way drainage is mostly
used for railway drainage and is defined as interception, collection and
disposal of water away from track. Permanent Way drainage is the key to
minimizing maintenance costs and achieving improved efficiency and longer
lifespan on today’s railway tracks. Permanent Way Drainage System has evolved
into the complete technical and commercial answer to all non pressure, surface
and sub-surface water drainage since the rail industry demands and expects
specialist levels of expertise, service, innovation, quality and safety. A lot
of people have now started opting to take the benefits of permanent way
drainage so that you not get into any sort of problems again and again.
Ground Drainage Systems have been
designed with a view to modern man's inclination towards health, hygiene and
his aversion to filth and pollutants. All buildings have a structural drainage
and ground drainage system and water is often directed from roofs to the ground
surrounding a home by gutters and downspouts. This greatly reduces the chances
of a home sustaining roof damage, but the pooled water around the home can
cause serious damage to its foundation. Ground drainage system can be used to
divert the water from the roof of your home to the surrounding area, or into
water barrels that store the water for future use. Ground drainage systems require
drainage pipes and there are different types of drainage pipes as well like
solid wall pipes, PVC pipes. The latest drain pipes are light weight so are
easier to handle and store but they are also tough and durable. Most drainage
pipes are corrosion and chemical resistant, cost effective and environment
friendly and can be used for ground drainage systems on Pavements, Roadside
curbs, Car parks, School yards, Play grounds, Shopping malls, Building
terraces.
