Drainage Pipe
Introduction
What is a drainage pipe?
Drainage pipes remove water or any other liquid from a particular area. In simple terms, a drainage pipe disposes of wastewater from homes and industries. These pipes are of utmost importance because of the purpose they serve. Did you know that drainage pipes also prevent floods triggered by soil erosion? Different types of drainage solutions include municipal drainage, road drainage, agricultural drainage, soil drainage, rain water drainage, house drainage, building drainage and industrial drainage.
Upkeep of these pipes is the most important part of any building maintenance. It becomes impossible to carry on any routine work like cooking and cleaning if these water pipes are not functioning properly. Therefore, having the right knowledge and taking steps to maintain it is important.
Not all drainage pipes are the same. Indeed, different drainage pipes solve different problems. In order to skillfully manipulate the flow of wastewater, most people commonly choose PVC pipes. If you are looking for some good quality of drainage pipes that will last years, then Ajay pipes will be the ultimate solution.
House Drainage
Gravity helps move the wastewater produced in a house—through sinks, dishwashers, or bathrooms—through SWR pipes. This SWR pipe then joins the public sewer or a home-built septic tank. Consequently, this supports recycling. Why can’t you smell this wastewater getting transferred around your home? There are water seals in the trap to arrest filthy odour.
Rainwater Drainage
Rainwater drainage system present in buildings is a smart way of utilising run off rainwater. This drainage system collects the rainwater and directs it to a public network. They can be a small system for a residential unit or a large municipal network. People also call these drainage pipes storm drains. Primarily there are three types of rainwater drainage systems, inlet, piping and outlet. Overall, engineers design them all to unclog the roads and lanes during storms and rain.
Soil Drainage Pipes
Gravity plays the main role in soil drainage. It enables the water to move around and through the soil. In fact, soil drainage is the main determinant for the fauna cover in a region. A good system of soil drainage yields pleasant agricultural results as well. Consider this, if the water in your patch of land takes more than an hour to drain out then, the quality of the soil is questionable. Water logging causes the soil ph or acidity to go up creating an unfavorable environment for the food or any other living creatures to survive.
Artificial or natural removal of water from surfaces of a given area after irrigation plays a vital role in determining the quality of the agricultural produce. Specifically, irrigation is the process of deliberate and controlled supply of water over large patches of agricultural land in regular intervals. A well established network of irrigation channels ensures that the agricultural fields are getting appropriate amounts of water and not depending on rains.
SWR Drainage Pipes
SWR is the short form for Soil, Waste and Rainwater drainage system. These pipes are specific to managing soil, wastewater and rainwater and is the best overall drainage solution in India. Manufacturers specially make these pipes to resist fungi, bacteria and other harmful microbes. Notably, the highly durable and leakproof Drainline SWR pipes that Ajay Pipes manufactures are the perfect solution to deal with these kinds of wastewater situations.
DRAINAGE PIPE TYPES
In this day and age, there are various types of drainage pipes available depending on several factors like weather and material among others. Here are the different types of pipes that form the primary drainage solution that you should know about:
PVC DRAINAGE PIPES:
Many consider PVC, or Polyvinyl Chloride Drainage Pipe, one of the most widely used options for drainage pipes; these pipes are sturdy and can tolerate high pressure. They make for about 75% in the waste water mains section. The best part? It simply needs solvent cement or a rubber ring to join the PVC pipes together. It is a time saving, pocket friendly option.

DWC PIPES
DWC stands for Double Wall corrugated pipes. These pipes are another option for strong drainage systems. They are a cost effective, durable and flexible solution. Manufacturers make these pipes from polyethylene, a material that is chemically inert in nature. Additionally, this substance’s resistance to abrasion and corrosion ensures their durability. No matter which weather conditions or landscape you lay these pipes in, they will survive there for a long time.
CAST IRON DRAINAGE PIPES
Builders mostly use cast iron drainage pipes in home projects. The purpose is to allow free, obstruction-free flow of waste water from the house to the recycling centers. Indeed, they last for years at a stretch. However these are expensive, very labor intensive making them difficult to install.
CLAY DRAINAGE PIPES
Builders have traditionally used clay pipes in drainage applications. Being a cost effective option, people widely used clay pipes for underground drainage purposes. Although strong and eco friendly these pipes are heavy, difficult to install and required maintenance and replacement over a period of time.
CONCRETE DRAINAGE PIPES
Manufacturers make these pipes from steel and concrete; they were the material of choice before the advent of plastics, and builders still use them, especially in large diameters. They suffer from being very heavy & require special machinery during installation. The internal surface being rough is prone to depositions and hence they require frequent cleaning.
