What are Land Drainage Pipes?

The purpose of land drainage pipes is to manage land water. They are often used in areas that are susceptible to poor water drainage and for various agricultural applications. Any of the drainage pipes that we supply at Total Pipeline Systems are manufactured with your needs in mind.

Land drainage pipes can also be used for crop production and waterlogged pitches, allowing water to filter slowly into the ground, for crops to receive the nutrients that they need and to ensure pitches drain efficiently.

Any of the land drainage pipes are designed to be distinctive. They are long pipes that tend to be perforated and buried beneath the ground (we even supply them unperforated too).

Who uses Land Drainage?

The drainage pipes that we provide at Total Pipes are suitable for an array of customers, including the following:

• Farmers

How do they work?

More often than not, land drains are designed to cure areas that are waterlogged. Whether it be farmland, gardens or sports fields, a land drainage pipe will protect your land from flooding, ensuring that all rainfall drains effectively.

As rain falls on the ground, it seeps into the ground. The simple addition of land drainage pipes allows water to reach perforations with ease, which then enables water to be swept down the gentle gradient until it reaches the soakaway or sewage system.

The land drains encourage water to flow easily, preventing any blockages in the pipeline.

There are countless ways that you could benefit from the land drainage pipes that we supply; one of the main ones being to enhance safety and to sustain the quality of your crops.
