Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of draining water, the use of a point drain and a method of installing a point drain.
  • Precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet, hail and the like results in surface water which can cause the ground to become waterlogged.
  • capillary layers in the ground to aid drainage. These layers may be formed from stone, gravel, sand and earth arranged to maximise the drainage of the ground. It is time-consuming to install the various layers in the ground. Over time, there is a risk that the different layers may become mixed with each other and the surrounding earth, and the spaces between some of the particles of stone, gravel and sand may become filled with earth, thereby reducing the water draining capacity of the installation. This is expensive as the area needing to be drained has to be excavated and replaced with stone, gravel and sand.
  • Drainage systems are known whereby the collected water is actively pumped away into a water store or disposed of via mains drainage.
  • DE3815443 discloses a drainpipe with apertures and any number of absorbent rollers fixed onto the pipe.
  • the rollers are made of rock wool or glass wool.
  • the rollers are not continuous along the pipe and there are sections in which the drainpipe with apertures is exposed to the earth.
  • One disadvantage of this is that earth can reduce the usable width of the pipe, or even block the pipe completely as a result of earth entering the pipe via the apertures in the areas in which there is no roller. This solution requires the water to be pumped away from the ground.
  • Prior art makes use of gravel which surrounds drainpipes of this type having apertures, creating an area around the drainpipe where water can run freely towards the drainpipe, and which can then be pumped away.
  • the capacity of gravel to hold water is limited to the space available between the pieces of gravel. This solution also requires the additional step in which the water is pumped away from the ground.
  • EP 1 038 433 A discloses a use of a vitreous material as a substrate for cultivation wherein the material is based on polyester resign.
  • a drain that can absorb water from the ground and store the water until it can be dissipated back to the ground. Further, there is a need to improve the storage capability of a drain so that the drain stores more water per unit volume. Further there is a need to increase the buffering capacity of such a drain, that is the difference between the maximum amount of water that can be held by the drain, and the amount of water that is retained when the drain device gives off water. Further there is a need for a drain that does not become contaminated with earth from the ground. There is a need for a drain that will stay in place for several years without the need for replacement. It is also desirable to provide such a drain device which is environmentally acceptable and economical in terms of its production, installation and use. The present invention solves the above detailed problem.
  • a method of draining water comprising providing a point drain formed of a man-made vitreous substrate (MMVF substrate), wherein the MMVF substrate comprises man-made vitreous fibres bonded with a cured binder composition, wherein the point drain has a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the longest side of the point drain, positioning the point drain in the ground so that the longitudinal axis is directed downwardly, whereby water which is in fluid communication with the point drain is absorbed by the MMVF substrate, wherein water is dissipated by the MMVF substrate into the ground.
  • MMVF substrate man-made vitreous substrate
  • the point drain has a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the longest side of the point drain
  • a point drain formed of a man-made vitreous substrate wherein the MMVF substrate comprises man-made vitreous fibres bonded with a cured binder composition, wherein the point drain has a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the longest side of the point drain, positioning the point drain in the ground so that the longitudinal axis is directed downwardly, whereby water which is in fluid communication with the point drain is absorbed by the MMVF substrate, wherein water is dissipated by the MMVF substrate into the ground.
  • a method of installing a point drain comprising providing a hole in the ground, positioning a point drain formed of a man-made vitreous substrate (MMVF substrate), wherein the MMVF substrate comprises man-made vitreous fibres bonded with a cured binder composition, wherein the point drain has a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the longest side of the point drain, positioning the point drain in the ground so that the longitudinal axis is directed downwardly.
  • MMVF substrate man-made vitreous substrate
  • the point drain has a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the longest side of the point drain
  • MMVF substrates are known for numerous purposes, including for sound and thermal insulation, fire protection and in the field of growing plants. When used for growing plants, the MMVF substrate absorbs water to allow plants to grow. When used for growing plants, it is important that the MMVF substrate does not dry out. In the field of growing plants, an MMVF substrate is normally used instead of soil to grow plants. The relative capillarity of soil and an MMVF substrate is not important in the field of growing plants.
  • WO01/23681 discloses the use of MMVF substrate as a sewage filter.
  • the present invention provides the use of a MMVF substrate as a point drain.
  • the man-made vitreous fibres are bonded with cured binder composition and the point drain can retain water within its open pore structure.
  • the man-made vitreous fibres can be glass fibres, ceramic fibres, basalt fibres, slag wool, stone wool and others, but are usually stone wool fibres.
  • Stone wool generally has a content of iron oxide at least 3 % and content of alkaline earth metals (calcium oxide and magnesium oxide) from 10 to 40 %, along with the other usual oxide constituents of MMVF. These are silica; alumina; alkali metals (sodium oxide and potassium oxide) which are usually present in low amounts; and can also include titania and other minor oxides.
  • Fibre diameter is often in the range of 3 to 20 ⁇ m, such as 3 to 5 ⁇ m.
  • the MMVF substrate is in the form of a coherent mass. That is, the MMVF substrate is generally a coherent matrix of MMVF fibres, which has been produced as such, but can also be formed by granulating a slab of MMVF and consolidating the granulated material.
  • the binder may be any of the binders known for use as binders for coherent MMVF products.
  • the MMVF substrate may comprise a wetting agent.
  • the point drain is formed of a single unitary MMVF substrate.
  • the advantage of using a unitary MMVF substrate is that water can easily be absorbed throughout the entire volume of the MMVF substrate because there is no barrier between the edges of MMVF substrates.
  • the point drain may comprise more than one MMVF substrate, for instance 2-10 MMVF substrates, preferably 2-5 MMVF substrates, more preferably 3-4 MMVF substrates. Where more than one MMVF substrate is used, the MMVF substrates are each in fluid communication with each other.
  • An advantage of the point drain comprising more than one MMVF substrate is that the size and shape of the point drain can be easily tailored to the requirements of the waterlogged ground without the need to generate multiple shapes and sizes of substrate. A greater number of MMVF substrates of a given volume will have more capacity to drain water from the ground than a single MMVF substrate of that same volume.
  • the point drain may comprise granular MMVF substrates.
  • Each granule may be 1-5 cm 3 in volume, preferably 1-4 cm 3 , more preferably 1-2 cm 3 .
  • the granules can be in the form of cylinders, cuboids or they may be irregularly shaped such as flocks.
  • An advantage of providing the MMVF substrate in granular form is that the size of the point drain can be easily tailored to the requirements of the waterlogged ground. A greater amount of granular MMVF substrate will have more capacity to drain water from the ground than less granular MMVF substrate.
  • the MMVF substrate is hydrophilic, that is it attracts water.
  • the MMVF substrate is hydrophilic due to the binder system used. In the binder system, the binder itself may be hydrophilic and/or a wetting agent used.
  • the hydrophilicity of a sample of MMVF substrate can be measured by determining the sinking time of a sample.
  • a sample of MMVF substrate having dimensions of 100x100x65 mm is required for determining the sinking time. Where the MMVF substrate is granular, a cage having these dimensions could be used to provide a sample of the required size for testing.
  • a container with a minimum size of 200x200x200 mm is filled with water.
  • the sinking time is the time from when the sample first contacts the water surface to the time when the test specimen is completely submerged.
  • the sample is placed in contact with the water in such a way that a cross-section of 100x100 mm first touches the water. The sample will then need to sink a distance of just over 65mm in order to be completely submerged.
  • the MMVF substrate is considered hydrophilic if the sinking time is less than 120 s. Preferably the sinking time is less than 60 s. In practice, the MMVF substrate may have a sinking time of a few seconds, such as less than 10 seconds.
  • a wetting agent is additionally included in the MMVF substrate.
  • a wetting agent will increase the amount of water that the MMVF substrate can absorb.
  • the use of a wetting agent in combination with a hydrophobic binder results in a hydrophilic MMVF substrate.
  • the wetting agent may be any of the wetting agents known for use in MMVF substrates that are used as growth substrates. For instance it may be a non-ionic wetting agent such as Triton X-100 or Rewopal. Some non-ionic wetting agents may be washed out of the MMVF substrate over time. It is therefore preferable to use an ionic wetting agent, especially an anionic wetting agent, such as linear alkyl benzene sulphonate. These do not wash out of the MMVF substrate to the same extent.
  • EP1961291 discloses a method for producing water-absorbing fibre products by interconnecting fibres using a self-curing phenolic resin and under the action of a wetting agent, characterised in that a binder solution containing a self-curing phenolic resin and polyalcohol is used.
  • This type of binder can be used in the present invention.
  • the wetting agent does not become washed out of the MMVF substrate and therefore does not contaminate the surrounding ground.
  • the binder of the MMVF substrate can be hydrophilic.
  • a hydrophilic binder does not require the use of a wetting agent.
  • a wetting agent can nevertheless be used to increase the hydrophilicity of a hydrophilic binder in a similar manner to its action in combination with a hydrophobic binder. This means that the MMVF substrate will absorb a higher volume of water than if the wetting agent is not present. Any hydrophilic binder can be used.
  • the binder may be a formaldehyde-free aqueous binder composition
  • a binder component (A) obtainable by reacting at least one alkanolamine with at least one carboxylic anhydride and, optionally, treating the reaction product with a base; and a binder component (B) which comprises at least one carbohydrate, as disclosed in WO2004/007615 .
  • Binders of this type are hydrophilic.
  • WO97/07664 discloses a hydrophilic substrate that obtains its hydrophilic properties from the use of a furan resin as a binder.
  • the use of a furan resin allows the abandonment of the use of a wetting agent.
  • Binders of this type may be used in the present invention.
  • WO07129202 discloses a hydrophilic curable aqueous composition wherein said curable aqueous composition is formed in a process comprising combining the following components:
  • the hydrophilic modifier can be a sugar alcohol, monosaccharide, disaccharide or oligosaccharide. Examples given include glycerol, sorbitol, glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose syrup and fructose syrup. Binders of this type can be used in the present invention.
  • a binder composition comprising:
  • Binder levels are preferably in the range 0.5 to 5 wt%, preferably 2 to 4 wt%, based on the weight of the MMVF substrate.
  • Levels of wetting agent are preferably in the range 0 to 1 wt%, based on the weight of the MMVF substrate, in particular in the range 0.2 to 0.8 wt%, especially in the range 0.4 to 0.6 wt%.
  • the MMVF product may be made by any of the methods known to those skilled in the art for production of MMVF growth substrate products.
  • a mineral charge is provided, which is melted in a furnace to form a mineral melt.
  • the melt is then formed into fibres by means of centrifugal fiberisation e.g. using a spinning cup or a cascade spinner, to form a cloud of fibres.
  • Binder and optionally wetting agent are usually added at the fiberisation stage by spraying into the cloud of forming fibres.
  • the MMVF substrate used as a point drain in the present invention preferably has a density in the range of 60 to 200 kg/m 3 , preferably in the range of 75 to 150 kg/m 3 , such as around 80 kg/m 3 .
  • the advantage of density in this range is that the MMVF substrate has a relatively high compression strength. This is important because the MMVF substrate may be installed in a position where people or vehicles need to travel over the ground in which the MMVF substrate is positioned.
  • a force distribution plate is positioned on top of the MMVF substrate in order to distribute the force upon the MMVF substrate. Preferably such a force distribution plate is not required due to the density of the MMVF substrate.
  • the longitudinal axis is parallel to the longest side of the point drain.
  • the longest width is the longest part of the point drain that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • the ratio of the longest side of the point drain to the longest width is preferably in the range 50:1 to 2:1, more preferably 30:1 to 4:1, most preferably in the range 20:1 to 5:1.
  • the cross-sectional area of the point drain perpendicular to the longest side is preferably in the range 100 to 2,500 cm 2 .
  • the advantage of using a point drain having a cross-sectional area in this range is that it is large enough to buffer a large amount of water.
  • the cross-sectional area of the point drain makes it easy to install underground as the cross-section of the hole only needs to be slightly wider than the cross-section of the point drain.
  • the point drain may optionally be of greater size, but this will increase the effort required to install the point drain.
  • the length of the point drain may be any length, but will normally be in the range of 50 cm to 200 cm, preferably 75 to 125 cm.
  • the point drain is long and narrow in order to reduce the effect of the MMVF substrate on the surface of the ground.
  • point drains may be installed spaced apart from each other so as to cover a larger area, depending on the volume of water to be managed.
  • the point drains are preferably arranged so that the longitudinal axes are parallel. Using several point drains will mean that a greater volume of water can be handled, compared to using a single point drain.
  • the volume of the point drain is preferably in the range 5000 to 500,000 cm 3 , more preferably 40,000 to 135,000 cm 3 .
  • the precise volume is chosen according to the volume of water which is expected to be managed.
  • the point drain has a circular cross-section which makes it easy to manufacture and install in the hole made with a drilling rig.

  • the buffering capacity may be 60 to 90 %vol, such as 60 to 85 %vol.
  • the advantage of such a high buffering capacity is that the MMVF substrate can buffer more water for a given substrate volume, that is the MMVF substrate can store a high volume of water when required, and release a high volume of water into the surrounding ground when the ground has dried out.
  • the buffering capacity is so high because MMVF substrate requires a low suction pressure to remove water from the MMVF substrate. This is demonstrated in the Example.
  • the water holding capacity, the amount of water retained and the buffering capacity of the MMVF substrate can each be measured in accordance with EN 13041 -1999.
