Envirodrain

With a corrugated wall designed to provide maximum strength with minimum weight for ease of handling, Envirodrain® is the versatile solution for land drainage. Since Envirodrain® is flexible enough to be installed continuously around cures, the requirement for fittings is minimised. Manufactured from polyethylene, polypropylene or PVC, Envirodrain® is unaffected by corrosion in saline environments. Envirodrain® can be provided with a filter ‘sock’ to minimise silt build up, unslotted for use as a flexible drainage system where instruction by fine tree roots may cause obstruction.

Filter Sock

Under some conditions, fine sand or soil particles may flow into the pipe with the water and result in reduced flow in a pipe laid to a shallow gradient. Under these conditions it may be advantageous to use a woven fabric filter ‘sock’ to screen such particles. An additional benefit is that the filter sock can stretch over the corrugations of the Envirodrain®, increasing the effective water access area to the pipe.

Filter sock is supplied in two grades. The heavier sock (RTA) grade conforms to specifications of NSW Traffic Authorities and a lower non-approved grade.

The filter sock is manufactured from high tensile strength polyester yarn.
