Nyloplast Drain Basin (NPDB)

Definition

A Nyloplast Drain Basin (NPDB) is a PVC storm drainage structure that can be fitted with a ductile iron lid or drainage inlet grate.

Purpose

Nyloplast Drain Basins are used in stormwater management systems to collect and convey runoff, preventing flooding and erosion. They provide a durable and efficient solution for managing surface water in various environments.

Examples of Use

• Parking Lots: Installed in parking areas to manage stormwater runoff and prevent pooling.
• Roadways: Used along streets and highways to collect and direct rainwater into the drainage system.
• Landscaping: Implemented in landscaped areas to manage water flow and prevent soil erosion.

Related Terms

• Storm Drain: A system designed to carry rainfall runoff away from paved areas.
• Inlet Grate: A grating installed over a drain to prevent debris from entering the drainage system.
• Catch Basin: A structure designed to catch debris and sediment from stormwater runoff before it enters the drainage system.

Notes

• Material: Made from durable PVC, Nyloplast Drain Basins are resistant to corrosion and chemical damage.
• Installation: Ensure proper installation and maintenance to optimize the performance of the drainage system.
