DESIGN CONSIDERATION
One of the main design considerations when designing a Cavity Drain System is to consider managing the c ollection and discharge o f ground, surface and/or foul water.
Most projects will require a collection sump + pump to automatically manage the evacuation of water ingress. A sump + pump solution will require mains power to operate.
The number of pump systems required for each project will in part depend on the overall basement size, perimeter, discharge invert and the method of drainage – Delta Channel, Modular or combination of the both.
GROUND AND SURFACE WATER EXPLAINED
Our new brochure explored calculating expected water ingress and flow rates. Groundwater supplies lie in aquifers below the surface of the Earth. Surface water can be found over land surfaces. One of the principal differences between surface
and ground water is, ground water moves slower than surface water. Ground water experiences more friction as it moves through the pores in soil then surface water experiences, as it fl ows over the earth’s surface.
