In this video, Resident Builder Peter Wolfkamp talks about the importance of proper drainage for use behind a retaining wall. He also discusses the features and benefits that make Bailey Black Snake Drainage pipe the ideal solution.
The Bailey Black Snake drainage coil is designed with slotted perforations around the diameter, which help facilitate water movement behind retaining walls. The pipe is offered with or without a filter sock. When added, the sock prevents dirt and other sediment from entering the drainage system, maintaining its effectiveness.
The drainage coil directs collected water to appropriate outlets, such as stormwater systems, preventing overflow and damage. Proper layering of materials is crucial in ensuring that water effectively reaches the drainage pipe without obstruction. A combination of scoria and fill material without fines is used above the drainage coil to enhance water flow and filtration.
The Bailey Black Snake pipe is ideal for drainage projects where flexibility, light weight and low cost are important. It is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe with corrugations that provide strength. Available in 110mm and 160mm diameters, our pipe is suitable for homes, farms, golf courses, parks, sports fields or whatever excess subsoil water drainage is required.
The Bailey Black Snake is also a sustainable option, made using post-consumer recycled materials. Our factory uses up to 200,000 milk bottles a week in the production of our drainage pipe systems.
