Types of drainage systems

Channel drain

Channel drains are grated drains installed at the bottom of slopes. This uses gravity to force the water down the drainage system.

Storm drain

Private storm drains are linked to public stormwater networks, acting to drain rain runoff from outdoor surfaces into nearby bodies of water.

Slot drain

These drain types are distinctly linear, without any grating. Because of their minimalism, slot drains look great in driveways and doorways.

The advantages of high-quality drainage systems

Drainage systems in New Zealand are fundamental in exterior architectural plans. It’s important to install the right kind of system to preserve the integrity of your outdoor structures, whether that’s slot drainage for your driveway, or channel drainage in your garden landscaping. High-quality surface drainage is generally made of stainless steel for unbeatable durability, and can be electropolished for a clean, shiny finish. These have impressive longevity, so you won’t have to replace your system with constant wear and tear.

How to choose a drainage system that’s right for you

When looking at surface drainage in New Zealand, the right solution for your property will depend on the space and needs of the landscape. If your system is installed near a pool area, you’ll need a chemical-resistant system that can withstand the high solvent load of pool water. Some systems will withstand a greater water run-off and should be installed in areas exposed to high levels of surface water. For driveways and patio areas, you should consider the aesthetic appeal of the space before implementing drainage.
