What is land drainage pipe installation and how does subsurface field drainage work?

Land drainage pipe installation involves laying perforated land drainage pipes in gravel-filled trenches to collect groundwater and carry it to a ditch or soakaway. Subsurface field drainage uses the same perforated pipes — sometimes combined with mole drainage — to lower the water table beneath agricultural land, keeping fields productive and free of standing water. We design and install these systems across Kent and East Sussex based on your soil type and ground conditions.
