Can You Install a Perforated Pipe With Gravel Surround in Our Tanks?

This isn’t something we offer as standard. But can be done. The things that we would have to look at is if we have put on this alternative forward, or where the pipe is situated. When it comes to install, if it is in the middle, the pipe and stone runs along the middle of the tank and you have the pressure from the crates either side and the backfill. This keeps the pipe and stone in place when you are wrapping up the tank. Whereas, if it was to be situated towards the edge of the tank, that is when you have not got that pressure coming in from either side. There can be delays on the install if anything were to happen or if it is not keeping it in place. The best thing to do is send us over the drainage drawings and we can then have a look to see what we would put forward and what the best solution is. In short term, yes, it can be done.
