CATEGORY FAQS

Technical & Procurement FAQs

1. What makes ALFA's Perforated Subsurface Drainage Pipes superior for Saudi projects?

Our Perforated Subsurface Drainage Pipes are manufactured using 100% virgin lead-free resin under strict ISO 9001 and Saudi Aramco Vendor #10116102 quality standards, delivering superior burst strength, thermal stability, and corrosion immunity.

2. What standards govern Perforated Subsurface Drainage Pipes?

Depending on the exact specification, systems comply with DIN 1187, ASTM F758, BS 4962.

3. What diameter ranges and pressure classes are available?

Available in sizes from 110 mm to 315 mm, supporting Non-pressure Gravity Infiltration (SN 4 / SN 8).

4. How do these pipes perform in harsh saline soil conditions?

Thermoplastic piping provides 100% galvanic corrosion immunity, making it impervious to high sulfate and chloride sabkha soils found in coastal Saudi regions.

5. What certifications accompany shipments?

Every order is accompanied by factory mill test certificates (MTC), dimensional compliance sheets, and third-party laboratory burst test reports.

6. Can ALFA supply matching fittings and fabricated bends?

Yes, our Jeddah fabrication plant manufactures matching sweep bends, tees, and flange adaptors fully rated for system working pressures.

7. What is the transit lead time from the Jeddah plant?

Western Province: 24h; Central/Riyadh: 24-48h; Eastern/Northern/Southern: 48-72h.

8. How do I submit an itemized BOQ for tender quotation?

Upload your tender BOQ schedule using the upload modal on this page or email sales@alfaalarabia.co for immediate factory-direct pricing.

9. How do perforated pipes lower perched groundwater tables around building foundations?

Subsurface groundwater enters the pipe through precision slots along the crown or perimeter, where it flows by gravity along the unperforated pipe invert to a discharge sump, relieving hydrostatic uplift on basement slabs.

10. Why is smooth-wall rigid PVC preferred over corrugated flexible coiled pipe?

Smooth-bore rigid PVC maintains a consistent gradient without sagging or silt traps, offers up to 40% higher water velocity (n = 0.009 vs 0.015 for corrugated), and allows easy mechanical rodding and jet cleaning.

11. What geotextile filter fabric should be used around perforated pipes?

Non-woven needle-punched polypropylene geotextile wrap (apparent opening size AOS 100–150 μm) prevents sand and fine silt infiltration into the pipe slots while allowing unrestricted groundwater flow.

12. How does 220° semi-perforation improve water conveyance over 360° perforation?

In 220° slotted pipes, the solid unperforated bottom invert (140° arc) retains collected water, preventing collected groundwater from leaking back out into drier soil further down the trench gradient.

13. How does perforated pipe design solve soil salinity in commercial date farms?

Deep agricultural perforated lines create a continuous leaching pathway, collecting saline irrigation runoff before it can evaporate and deposit toxic salt crystals in the date palm feeder root zone.

14. What ring stiffness is maintained after pipe perforation?

ALFA's computerized precision slotting geometry preserves circumferential structural integrity, maintaining ring stiffness compliant with SN 4 and SN 8 to withstand heavy backfill and traffic surcharge.
