Waste Treatment
Drainage principles are remarkably simple and can be transferred from one application to another. Water obeys the laws of gravity and it follows the path of least resistance moving more rapidly where there are fewer obstacles. However, these principles are applied distinctively in each situation. Here we discuss unique features of various drainage situations. This non-exhaustive list contains the eight applications where Multi-Flow is most commonly used.
Examples in the Category (ponds/lagoon):
Stabilization | Facultative | Anaerobic | Maturation
Golf Course
Proper drainage on a golf course ensures maximum usage of the course while maintaining healthy and attractive grass. Whether due to excess rain or imbalanced irrigation, golf course soils frequently become saturated. Saturation leads to unhealthy turf due to disease and/or compaction.
Frequently, especially in arid regions, it is advantageous to collect excess water for use in ponds or irrigation rather than to allow it to flow away. Multi-Flow is a superior drainage system with the ability to accomplish what other systems cannot. It is very efficient at collecting excess water from saturated areas.
Recreational Area Drainage
Multi-Flow drainage systems are commonly used in a wide variety of recreational areas in addition to athletic fields. The explosion of Multi-Flow usage is part of a larger trend toward more extensive and intensive drainage in recreational areas. Park directors and maintenance personnel are under persistent pressure to keep their parks and campgrounds attractive and ready for use. Heavy schedules make this a major challenge because use of recreational areas during saturated conditions compacts the soil and consequently threatens the vegetation.
Jogging paths, intensive play areas, clay or grass tennis courts, around swimming pools, campgrounds and picnic areas are common Multi-Flow drainage sites.
Residential Drainage
Multi-Flow drainage systems are ideal for drainage in residential settings. It is used beneficially in yards and gardens, along driveways and sidewalks, near foundations and retaining walls and under basements.
The explosion of Multi-Flow usage is part of a larger trend toward more extensive and intensive usage of yards and gardens. Homeowners increasingly want to keep grass, shrubs, trees, and flowers on their entire property healthy, attractive and ready for use. Heavy use or yard work during saturated conditions compacts the soil and consequently threatens the plant life. Multi-Flow is also often used to keep water from flowing under or even into houses, basements, and outbuildings.
Commercial Drainage
Multi-Flow drainage systems are great for drainage in commercial landscape settings. Contractors use them beneficially in landscapes, along driveways and sidewalks, near foundations and retaining walls, in rooftop gardens and in planters but also as a tool to provide drainage in a construction site and to maintain foundation integrity throughout the life of a building
The growth of Multi-Flow usage is part of a larger trend toward more extensive and intensive drainage in planters, gardens, and other landscape settings. Heavy use or maintenance during saturated conditions compacts the soil and threatens the plant life. lthy, attractive and available for use. Healthy landscapes are vital for a healthy bottom line.
Paved Surfaces Drainage
Multi-Flow drainage systems are your best choice for draining paved surfaces. They are being used with excellent results along highways, city streets, runways, and under parking lots.
The rapid increase in Multi-Flow usage is part of a larger trend toward more artificial drainage under paved surfaces due to a more complete understanding of the relationship between good drainage and pavement life span. Cities and states are continually seeking to make pavements last longer in an effort to stretch budgets further.
