EFFICIENCY OF HYDROLUIS DRAIN PIPE-ENVELOPE COMBINATION ON SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

ABSTRACT

 

Various filters and envelope materials have been produced in order to prevent siltation and blockage in subsurface pipe drainage systems.  These are organic and inorganic materials, ready rough wound materials, synthetic and organic fibres.  It was determined that Hydroluis pipe-envelope combination showed a great performance in terms of penetration resistance according to the first year’s results of the study conducted in order to determine its potential to be used in subsurface drainage systems as a material that prevents penetration of plant roots into the pipe and that drainage waters carried 34 g m-3  of silt.

CONCLUSION

Hydroluis pipe envelope combination showed performance close to sand-gravel in terms of siltation and entre resistances. Prevention of penetration of plant roots into the pipe makes this material advantageous. Furthermore, Hydroluis pipe envelope combination has outstanding features when compared to sand-gravel which is a similar material. It has features that prevent or reduce deformation in pipes by providing mechanical support. Fair production costs, transportation and installation easiness also increase potential of using Hydroluis pipe envelope combination.

However, in order to get solid results, trials to be made in laboratories and different land conditions are necessary.

 

Adventage And Characteristics of Hydroluis® Drainage Envelope showed us ;

1. First Anti-Plant roots Drainage pipeOn the world. (It does not emit moisture from the pipe holes).
2. Anti-bacterial (Iron Oxide was effecting Iron Ochre, Calcium carbonate and sulfate was effecting biofilm clogging problems on other drain pipe envelope).
3. First drainage pipes saving the underground water in drought seasons. Works only when water table rises above specified levels.
4. Best performance flowing andminimum sediment enterance than all system during land fit period.
5. Eliminates requirement for annual maintenance or internal cleaning of drainage pipe and guarantees the strength life cycle and operational performance of plastic. 
6. Showing longer-term operating performance in all types of soilconditions as compared to competing drainage systems.
7. Long term operating costs of the drainage pipe proves to  be the most cost-effective. After laying the system, disadvantages of growing plant roots are turned in advantages as this system increases water flow in the direction of drainage pipe.
