Drainage well of concrete rings - types. absorption,

The easiest way to equip the site with a drainage system is to order it from specialists, but this option is far from the cheapest. It is much more profitable to lay the pipes and make a drainage well of concrete rings by yourself. This article is dedicated to its making.

General information

The main purpose of this facility is to lower the water level and divert sewage from the garden plot to storage tanks or to the soil. In any case, if there is a lot of groundwater on the plot, it is necessary to protect the buildings from destruction, as well as to prevent the waterlogging of the soil.

Before deciding on the independent production of a drainage well, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with all the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution.

So, first we present the main advantages:

• The construction of the construction takes one day, taking into account the implementation of earthworks.
• Due to the fact that reinforced concrete rings for wells are made of moisture resistant concrete, in combination with additional waterproofing, the design is sealed.
• As mentioned above, the price of the building will be relatively low..
• The product is durable.

• Reinforced concrete structures for strength significantly gain from the brick masonry wells. In addition, unlike plastic products, they can be mounted in soils prone to shifting and heaving.
• The cost of operating the well is minimal and it does not require constant care..

As for the shortcomings, they include only a relatively large weight of the rings, as a result, their installation requires the use of construction equipment, which is associated with additional costs.

Types of drainage wells

Drainage wells are of several types:

• Collector;
• Viewing;
• Swivel;
• Absorption.

Absorption

Most often, in the backyards they install absorption wells, which are intended for drainage of the territory. Still such constructions are called filtering, as they allow to clean the drains from debris.

Tip! For the construction of drainage wells is best to use concrete rings with reinforcement. As a rule, rods with a diameter of 8-12 millimeters are used.

Such wells are made with their own hands quite simply:

• First of all, a hole is pulled out at least two meters deep, with a diameter slightly exceeding the diameter of the ring.
• Then concrete rings are placed on the bottom, which are installed one on another.
• Next, the bottom of the well and the space outside the outer walls must be covered with gravel.
• In the upper part of the structure there are several holes for the supply of pipes. As a rule, diamond drilling of holes in concrete is used for this.
• If the upper section is higher than the ground level, it must be cut off. The most effective option is cutting reinforced concrete with diamond circles.
• Next, the top of the well need to lay a geotextile canvas and cover with turf. (See also the article Heater for concrete: features.)

Accumulative

Still such constructions are called cumulative. As it is not difficult to guess, they are intended for the accumulation of water coming from storm sewers, so these wells, unlike the previous ones, must have a bottom. For these purposes, you can use a concrete slab or perform at the bottom of the pit screed.

The shaft itself should be well sealed, so between the rings, if they are not connected to the castle, use jute fiber impregnated with resin. Another feature of the tank is that it requires constant care - pumping the accumulated water with a special pump. They can be used for settling of process water.

Installation instructions are very similar to the previous well, except for the nuances mentioned. In addition, the tank should be installed below the level of the entire pipeline. As a rule, installation of three rings is sufficient.

Tip! To close the building, you can purchase a special ready-made hatch.

Swivel

Pivot wells are installed at the corners of the drainage pipes. In fact, this design is a lookout. They are installed in such a way that it is convenient to bring all angular, smoothly passing or cross sections of the pipeline to them.

It must be said that the need for such structures is present not only in the corner joints, but also in the areas where the highway runs with a downward slope. In this case, the structure allows to control the level of flowing water, as well as to check for proper functioning of the pipe joints, if any.

The device of the drainage well of concrete rings in this case is extremely simple - it is enough just to dig one or two rings and make holes in them through which the pipes will pass. Corner connections of highways are made in the well itself. The structure should be closed from above by a hatch.

Here, perhaps, are all the main nuances of the independent production of drainage facilities.

Conclusion

It is completely simple to make a drainage well on your own, thanks to which every household master can cope with this task. The main thing is to determine the most optimal arrangement of structures, and decide where and what type of them should be used. For the rest, you only need to follow the above recommendations.
