Subsoil is the layer of soil under the topsoil on the surface of the ground. Like topsoil it is composed of a variable mixture of small particles such as sand, silt and/or clay, but it lacks the organic matter and humus content of topsoil.
Our range of slotted subsoil pipe is manufactured from either PVC or HDPE pipe and is predominately slotted with rows of 1.0mm slots, the number of rows of slots is dependant on the pipe size and must compply with the requirements of Transport New Zealand.

Drainage problems come in many forms. Runoff, old drains, site problems and other complications can all cause serious issues for any building or yard. Water drainage issues may also damage foundations, exterior pipes, and electrical systems. Improving surface and ground water drainage starts with understanding the systems and solutions available.
Surface drainage is available in several forms, whether it’s channel drainage or slot drains for driveways. Channel drainage, the most popular form, is a gravity-operated drainage system that is designed to be placed at the bottom of a hill or slope and collect water that drains into it.
