Drainage system, drainage units, and methods
Disclosed is a drainage system ( 1 ) comprising: at least one water receiving unit ( 20 ) having: a water receptacle ( 22 ) for receiving water from an adjoining surface of an upper stratum; and at least one drainage unit comprising: a body; wherein: the water receptacle ( 22 ) can be integrated into the upper stratum; the drainage unit can be provided and oriented, at least in part, in a central stratum at a distance under the surface, with respect to its uppermost face, such that water flowing out of the water receiving unit ( 20 ) can flow into the drainage unit through a connection between the water receptacle ( 22 ) and the body; and the connection can be maintained irrespective of a change in this distance. Also disclosed are drainage units and methods.
1. A drainage system comprising:
at least one water receiving unit, comprising:
a water receptacle for receiving water from an adjoining surface of an upper stratum; and
at least one drainage unit, comprising:
a body; and
standard pipes of different lengths for insertion between the water receiving unit and the at least one drainage unit;
wherein:
the water receptacle is integrated into the upper stratum;
the drainage unit is provided and oriented in a middle stratum at a distance under the surface, with respect to its uppermost face, such that water flowing out of the water receiving unit can flow into the drainage unit through a connection between the water receptacle and the body provided by the standard pipes; and
a length of each of the standard pipes achieves an individual height so that the connection is maintained irrespective of a change of the distance.
2. The drainage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the distance is chosen or dimensioned in such a way that a load on the surface in the upper stratum or the middle stratum is distributed in such a way that its effect on the body is neglected.
3. The drainage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the water receptacle is configured as point drainage system; or
the water receptacle is configured as a linear drainage system; or
the water receptacle and the surface comprise connecting means, such that they are connected together wherein the water receptacle comprises metal, concrete, polymer concrete, or plastic, or a combination thereof.
4. The drainage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the drainage unit is designed as a water discharge unit for draining off the water.
5. The drainage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the distance is selected or dimensioned taking into account an outer diameter of the body, wherein:
the outer diameter is 200 mm to 1000 mm, 250 mm to 900 mm, 315 mm to 800 mm, 400 mm to 630 mm or 500 mm.
6. The drainage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the body is dimensioned taking into account the distance
wherein the body comprises metal, concrete, polymer concrete, or plastic, or a combination thereof.
7. A water receiving unit for use in the drainage system according to claim 1 .
8. A drainage unit for use in the drainage system according to claim 1 .
9. A water discharge unit for use in the drainage system according to claim 1 .
10. A water storage unit for use in the drainage system according to claim 1 .
11. The water storage unit according to claim 10 , wherein the water storage unit is configured as an infiltration ditch or cistern.
12. A drainage method, comprising:
providing at least one water receiving unit comprising:
a water receptacle for receiving water from an adjoining surface of an upper stratum; and
providing at least one drainage unit, comprising:
a body; and
standard pipes of different lengths for insertion between the water receiving unit and the at least one drainage unit;
integrating the water receptacle into the upper stratum; and
arranging and aligning the drainage unit at a distance, relative to its upper side, below the surface at least partially in a middle stratum, such that the water flowing out of the water receiving unit can flow into the drainage unit through a connection of the water receptacle and the body provided by the standard pipes;
wherein:
a length of each of the standard pipes achieves an individual height so that the connection is maintained irrespective of a change of the distance.
13. The drainage method according to claim 12 , wherein:
the distance is dimensioned in such a way that a load on the surface in the upper stratum or the middle stratum is distributed in such a way that its effect on the body is neglected.
14. The drainage method according to claim 12 , wherein:
the water receptacle is configured as point drainage system; or
the water receptacle is configured as a linear drainage system; or
the water receptacle and the surface comprise connecting means such that they are connected together;
wherein the water receptacle comprises metal, concrete, polymer concrete, or plastic, or a combination thereof.
15. The drainage method according to claim 12 , wherein:
the drainage unit is configured as a water discharge unit for discharging the water.
16. The drainage method according to claim 12 , wherein:
the distance is dimensioned taking into account a component of the middle stratum or its angle of repose, wherein:
the angle of repose is 25° to 45°
wherein the middle stratum comprises rock, stones, sand, broken sand, round stones, gravel, broken stones, crushed stone, railroad ballast, chippings and/or slags.
17. The drainage method according to claim 12 , wherein:
the body is dimensioned taking into account the distance,
the body comprises metal, concrete, polymer concrete, or plastic, or a combination thereof.
