Drainage on former agricultural land in suburban villages

If you are an entrepreneur who develops private housing estates in the suburbs elsewhere on agricultural land near large cities, then you know how important it is to create good land plots where buyers live happily, because they will become the biggest investment of their life, but a well-planned and built village - a source of your prestige and pride.

Reclamation and drainage in the villages of private houses is essential, because the owner of each parceled plot of land, when building the foundations of the house, arranging a fence or anything else, can accidentally over dig the drainage, seriously damaging it. The cadastral error of drains is up to 20 m on each side of the planned one. Without surfing the entire system, its exact location cannot be determined. Broken drains and collectors will cause larger or smaller, long-standing or short-term puddles in building lots, affecting several surrounding properties. It should be noted that the requirements for the drainage of excess moisture from the land of a private house are higher than for the drainage of agricultural land. The agricultural drainage designed for growing crops does not sufficiently drain the moisture of the building plot.

How we do it?

Already at the beginning of the development of the village, according to the plan of parceled lands, our team will bring collectors to each plot of land, ensuring that, if necessary, both initially and after many years, rainwater or water from damaged drainage will be effectively drained. If the collectors are not installed, it cannot be done later due to other built-in communications, buildings, fences or roads.

The price is determined by the size of the village project, but the average is 2000 EUR per plot of land.

We have also repaired drainage systems on our own. In very small cases it often works, but for larger pieces there is neither precision nor quality, and in the end it is just wasted labour and material.We have chosen Dambekalns drainage for the fourth year for a number of reasons. Firstly, there is a lot of work involved in land reclamation, and we cannot do it ourselves. Secondly, the company has a very professional team, and thirdly, the work is done quickly: in two or three days. On average, we lay 1.5-2 km of new drainage system per year.

Our cooperation with Dambekalns was established on the recommendation of a neighbouring farmer. We have been cooperating for several years. I am a land reclamation engineer by colledge and I appreciate the fact that the work has been done professionally and according to my vision. We plan the work in winter, mark the draine branches in the field in spring, and then in summer we dig. Next year we take the field.

We have been cooperating with Dambekalnas melioration for four years. I don't understand why there is not a queue at this company for several years ahead.

What result do we guarantee?

By installing a collector, any excess water from puddles, roofs, lawns or other places in the yard can be drained, ensuring that not only the property in question, but also the neighboring property, is flooded. Channeling the water through the new collectors that run parallel to the street is the only way to guarantee that excess water does not accumulate now and will not accumulate in the future.

Dambekalns melioration provides a guarantee of performance of works and takes care of you as a village of private houses the well-being of the developer and also the future plot owners.

Frequently asked questions and answers about the drainage of former agricultural lands in suburban villages

In the villages, the direction and location of the old agricultural drains is the most advantageous for the crops grown in the field, they do not run parallel to the new streets and their diameter is two or three times smaller than what is needed for the village.

The location of the old drains is marked in the cadastre even with a 20m error, and no one knows where they are exactly, so it will be easy to break them and every broken drain system will cause puddles both in the broken place and in the upstream system. When breaking the old drains with the foundations of the house, it is not possible to bypass the broken drain around the house ensuring the necessary fall.

The old drains were mostly built in the 60s-80s. years. They are not eternal.

The construction of new drain collectors costs a few thousand per plot of land, which does not add up to more than 1% to the subsequent price of the property, but the benefit is the ability to drain excess water in the future.

Always the best time to build drainage systems is during the low water period, which is usually summer. During construction, it is important that the water level in the ditch where the collector is introduced is low.

The drain collectors are built parallel to the streets on both sides of them with the calculation that each plot of land has a collector to connect future puddles caused by the old drains when they arise. When the land plots are built up with buildings, fences and squares, you will not have the opportunity to install a collector from the ditch through the land plots of several neighboring owners.
