80mm Land Drain Pre-loaded Geotextile Filter Sock Sleeve Wrap

This 80mm land drain preloaded geotextile filter sock sleeve is pre-wrapped on a cardboard applicator for easy loading and comes supplied in 30mtr lengths. Suitable to wrap 80mm perforated land drain pipes. Alongside single-wall land drainage pipes, you can also use these geotextile socks for various types of perforated pipe drainage including straight wall and corrugated HDPE, PVC, aluminium and steel. If you require geotextile filter socks longer than 30mtrs take a look at our non-preloaded geotextile filter sock sleeves which are available in longer lengths and various diameters.

For ease of installation, we advise using the preloaded geotextile for pipes of at least 9 metres in length or longer. Installing pre loaded geotextile is a simple and easy to do. Starting with the outlet end of the pipe, simply:

• Fully expand the cardboard into a square and sleeve it over the end of the pipe


• At the outlet end of the pipe tie a knot in the filter


• While maintaining tension on the sock, slide the cardboard applicator over the length of the pipe


• Remove the cardboard from the pipe


• Leaving the outlet end open, untie the knot in the filter

Made from polyester material, this seamless permeable geotextile membrane will allow water to pass through the geotextile sleeve into the perforated land drain pipe which will ensure a continuous flow of water. Created with a knitted design, this geotextile sock wrap prevents soil, silt and sandy particles making their way into the land drain pipe which can cause unnecessary clogs and maintenance overtime. Any tiny particles that make it through the land drain filter sock will be eventually discharged from the land drainage pipe when traveling with the water flow.

Geotextile membranes used to only exist in oversized sheets which meant that wrapping geotextile around your land drain pipe was difficult and time consuming. Historically, you would need multiple people to help assist measure around the land drain and then make sure the geotextile is secure in place. With these land drain geotextile filter sleeves, they are designed to be installed with one person due to their ease of installation with the cardboard applicator saving you time and hassle. These socks eliminate any cutting mistakes and potential excess wastage compared to the original oversized geotextile sheets. These preloaded land drain filter wraps are perfect for any land drainage project that requires the protection for all soil types, due to their time saving qualities. For an alternative solution, you can also purchase wrapped land drain coils ready to install.

The fabric is specifically designed for drainage filtration using state of the art circular-knitting machines, manufactured by Carriff. Tested using various procedures for permittivity and puncture resistance, this will ensure the fabric you are using is reliable and this product will perform when handled and installed correctly.

Perforated land drain is designed to collect and carry surface water. It has small perforations (holes) throughout the pipe which allows the water to be dispersed. Commonly used in agricultural, domestic, commercial and industrial areas. Great for water logged areas and useful for many applications including lawns, gardens, golf courses and sports fields. Land drain pipe is also popular within French Drain systems. Alongside land drainage pipes, we have a range of land drain accessories available in different sizes that you may need for your project.
