Excess water in a garden or park can cause serious problems, ranging from simple aesthetic concerns to major inconvenience. An effective drainage system is therefore crucial to remove this excess water, which has unfortunate aesthetic and economic consequences. FIBERDRAIN TP, a gravel-free drain for gardens and green spaces, developed by ATE, offers the same guarantees as FIBERDRAIN, the tried and tested agricultural drain.
WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO DRAIN GREEN SPACES AND GARDENS?
Drainage is an essential operation in the development of green spaces and gardens. Drainage helps to control water in the soil and prevent it from moving around, as well as providing permanent access to it. Good management of excess water:
- Preserves vegetation and avoids muddy areas
- Preserves the aesthetics of green spaces and gardens, by avoiding the settling that creates relief
- Prevents land subsidence
HOW CAN GREEN SPACES AND GARDENS BE DRAINED EFFECTIVELY?
To control water in the ground, it is essential to install a suitable drain to ensure that the system lasts. In France, in 80% of cases, professionals and private individuals use conventional drainage with geotextile and gravel for green spaces and gardens, with the aim of ensuring the 3 key functions of good drainage:
- Filter water while reducing the risk of clogging
- Collect and distribute excess water, to avoid stagnation
- Protect the drain from mechanical compression and impact, to ensure the longevity of the installation.
Drainage with geotextile on gravel is often difficult to implement and not very environmentally friendly. Transporting gravel and extracting aggregates have a major environmental impact.
ATE has designed FIBERDRAIN TP to meet all these challenges: efficient, long-lasting installation, less arduous installation and a reduced carbon footprint.
FIBERDRAIN TP: AN INNOVATIVE DRAIN FOR GREEN SPACES AND GARDENS
The FIBERDRAIN TP developed by ATE is a corrugated drainage pipe wrapped in rot-proof polypropylene fibre, designed to fulfil the three key functions of a drain simultaneously, with proven effectiveness. This gravel-free 3-in-1 product, available in diameters of 80 or 100 mm and in rolls of 50 m, is :
- 5 times less clogging than a traditional geotextile
- Reduces costs by 20-30% compared with a traditional solution
- More environmentally friendly, with no gravel
- Easier and less laborious to install, at 700 g/ml
- More resistant to ensure the durability of the structure
FIBERDRAIN TP is a technical, economical and sustainable choice.
Caution, however: FIBERDRAIN TP is unsuitable and prohibited for foundation drainage.
