Underground field drainage improves field productivity
The transformation of open ditches into crop land through underground drainage increases the arable land area by 10-20%. At the same time, shaping, sowing and harvesting takes less time as machinery is able to work more efficiently. New drainage is typically needed when improving the drainage of old fields or changing field parcels. Field drainage plans include the surface shape, soil quality, ground water conditions, possible discharge locations and the locations of drainage water collection and drainage pipes and their service drains.
Uponor field drainage pipes are flexible, corrugated PVC pipes that are mainly used for the drainage of fields and green areas. In addition to ordinary perforated coiled and standing pipes, the selection includes unperforated installation pipes coated with coconut filters. Uponor field drainage pipes comply with the quality and functional requirements of standard SFS 5211 and have been granted the SFS marking. The selection also includes drum and combination pipes for field and road ditches.
In addition to the pipes, the field drainage system includes underground drainage chambers and outlets. Check fhe product catalogue for all the components of the system.
