Ezy Drain
Utilising recycled synthetics packed around sectional tubes, the Ezy-Drain design
offers a packaged solution to avoid the drawbacks of using loose quarried aggregates.
The resultant benefits are an extremely lightweight system that can be rapidly installed
without the need for specialist skills.
Applications Include:
- Treatment Plants and Septic Tanks:
Ezy-Drain replaces the perforated pipe work of a herring-bone drainage field.
Ezy-Drains storage and flow characteristics typically achieve 35% more surface
area than natural aggregates, resulting in enhanced water treatment capabilities
and a reduction in long term clogging.
- Effluent Drainage:
Ezy-Drain may replace traditional carrier drainage from a treatment plant to discharge
point.
- Seasonal Soakaways:
Ezy-Drain is ideal to install as a seasonal soak away flowing from a treatment
plant. A seasonal soak away allows infiltration of treated effluent where ground
conditions permit or transfers effluent to an alternative discharge point when ground
conditions are unfavourable.
Benefits:
- Speed of installation up to 4 times faster than traditional methods
- Lightweight increases handling capability and reduces Health & Safety hazards
- Single manpower installation less labour and plant intensive
- Minimises site waste and disposal costs
- Flexibility removes need for boxes or chambers
- Ideal for sites with restricted access
- Higher water dispersion rate than traditional methods
- Reduced site impact - minimal reinstatement and clean up
Design:
The Ezy-Drain comprises of sections of perforated plastic pipe, surrounded by a synthetic aggregate, wrapped in polyethylene netting. Each 2-metre section is simply joined together by the use of standard 110mm fittings and junctions, protected by an optional preformed collar.
The synthetic aggregate is manufactured from recycled expanded polystyrene, engineered to deliver optimum performance while consistently retaining its form.
Ezy-Drain is designed to be installed under a geotextile membrane
